@ENUIRA The controllers fail more often than the chips. I cannot imagine even the most insane gamers burning through rewrites on an SSD very quickly. Today's SSDs take over 5 years to have issues even if you rewrite nonstop 24/7. How many gamers do you think use their consoles to instantly delete and rewrite games constantly without sleep for years on end? You are talking about fears on SSD rewrites that may have existed 10 years ago. So many articles have been written about proper testing that have really pushed them to the limit and the fears are way, way, way overblown when it comes to rewrites. QLC might be the worst right now but even that is going to last a really super long time. If the controllers don't fail, reads should always work for multiple decades like Jay said.
@ENUIRA Sitting in a vibrational chassis can make a hdd crash. Are you sure you know what you are talking about? Many NAS specced drives can counter this decently but still, a single good bang and you are spending a bunch of extra money for data recovery services...
@ENUIRA ...I would vastly prefer a good bang to a motherboard/CPU to a bang on a hdd. I already mentioned simple vibration can ruin a hdd, so I am not sure why you stated bangs aren't the only things a person should worry about. Good news though: you bang an SSD and it will work great compared to a hdd.

Hi! For Xbox Series X|S, we'd recommend our newly launched Storage Expansion Card (seagate.media/6051pJZvv), which is specifically designed for the new console. However, you can still use earlier external HDDs and SDDs, like the ones shown in this video, to play thousands of Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles --but games optimized for Xbox Series X|S require the Xbox Velocity Architecture (which the Storage Expansion Card supports).
I cracked open a broken 4TB seagate xbox HDD and took the adaptor off it.I put the adaptor onto a regular internal 1TB SSD and it works just fine with my xbox one. Load times are in my opinion on a par with my series x load times. Also I think there is more to "see" in the game as the console can load the content in quicker. I have also noticed that in multiplayer games I can sprint faster than some other players and even catch up to them and overtake them all because of this SSD.
My sea gate Xbox 2TB external storage just randomly stopped working one day and would stop controller connection if it was plugged in on start up, and not be recognised if it was plugged in after.

No . Simple answer . Xbox series x and s have proprietary SSD . Custom made . Proprietary means owned . Microsoft owns it , it has a special slot design (input) think of it as an accessory. Like a controller. controllers don’t go down in price . Neither will this . Unlike other storage that does . The consoles loose money so this is one area where they plan to make their money back.at $200 the S comes out to $500 . Microsoft is the only one that can make this custom proprietary SSD . Unless they approve third party companies . but that is like saying Doom is coming to ps5 . And we know that’s not happening

That is how it works on the Series S and X (and PS5). You have to move current-gen games to your internal SSD before you can play them. Older-gen games (Xbox One/360/Original) can be played directly from the external drive, though.

What this guy doesn't realise is hdd is useless for any series x optimised games as they won't run on an external hdd at standard one X 4k resolution, once you have your series X your optimised games will only run on internal.
I use an HDD for my series x and the easy solution is to just transfer games between the console and drive when I want to play them so I get the fast load times and series improved graphics. Sure you have to wait like 10 minutes for some bigger games but it’s better than spending the extra money for an SSD that still can’t play enhanced games
It isn’t useless if you’re only using the HDD for storage. Some people would rather have the Huge storage space for any game and have no issue transferring optimized games, which takes little time. The SSD is just way too expensive for such little space even if it does run optimized games on the fly.

Internal ssd is a much better choice Plus this external ssds and hubs are just kinda crappy in the sense that it isn't an actual upgrade, not like opening up your Xbox and upgrading the HDD to an SSD.. Feels more like an extra attachment, that's it

@@seagate Well, I meant this 8 TB Seagate external HDD. It has only XBOX logo on it, but it doesn't mean it won't work with PS4. The title may confuse a lot of people that this is only for Xbox.
Lower the cost of XB series SSDs . It read speeds is 2.4 GB/S . There are 7GB/S for 50$ cheaper than this offering the same amount of space . 220$ ans 350$ for wtb is just a rip off for this kind of drives

Will this ssd work for the Series S?
Hi there! On Xbox Series X|S, your external HDD and SSD Game Drives can be used to play thousands of Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One classics while serving as high-capacity Game Vaults for Xbox Series X|S titles. However, games optimized for Xbox Series X|S require the Xbox Velocity Architecture.
No . Simple answer . Xbox series x and s have proprietary SSD . Custom made . Proprietary means owned . Microsoft owns it , it has a special slot design (input) think of it as an accessory. Like a controller. controllers don’t go down in price . Neither will this . Unlike other storage that does . The consoles loose money so this is one area where they plan to make their money back.at $200 the S comes out to $500 . Microsoft is the only one that can make this custom proprietary SSD . Unless they approve third party companies . but that is like saying Doom is coming to ps5 . And we know that’s not happening
Don't use it corrupts every time there's an update
Can I use any ssd drive with usb 3.0

1:30 "you'll see a notable increase in game load times on a SSD. The tradeoff is that SSDs can be much more expensive than Hard drives" this is not a tradeoff lol. he should have said decrease. i think they felt it was fine since they went to give examples but it's still amusing.
I buy hub the one has green light Strip on it got 8tb one pay 215 something
Does these work for xbox series s and x?
They can be used to play Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles on the Xbox X|S, but games optimized for Xbox Series X|S require the Xbox Velocity Architecture (which our new Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S supports).
Will it make fallout 76 load faster? Like when I fast travel?

will the 4tb work on xbox serise s or x
Hi there! Yes and no.
Yes: On Xbox Series X|S, your external HDD and SSD Game Drives can be used to play thousands of Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One classics while serving as high-capacity Game Vaults for Xbox Series X|S titles.
No: Games optimized for Xbox Series X|S require the Xbox Velocity Architecture. When you’re ready to play those-just transfer them from your external HDD or SSD to your internal SSD or the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S.
I have both the 2 &8 hdd
Can you use Xbox SSD drive on Xbox One S?
Yes, you can use the Seagate Xbox SSD with your Xbox One S.
@@seagate how much will be the difference in terms of loading time if Hdd vs ssd?
Bought the 1T HDD and couldn't play AC Valhalla off it...what is the point?
We are sorry to hear that. Please contact our customer support team on our website: www.seagate.com/contacts/ They will be able to help you directly and answer any specific questions. Thank you.
ssd speeds are now 1000 mb/second with newer ssd that have usb 3.2.
Xbox usb ports ate usb3.0,, wont help you, the port is governed
Edit: Actually I kept watching more videos about it and realized that YOU CAN play videogames from it, but it would ONLY play SOME. There's a message that I didn't see the first time, it would say that it can install tha game on the HDD, but to play it it needs to be transferred to the internal memory.
Hi! For more specific questions, please contact our customer support team on our website: www.seagate.com/contacts/ They will be able to help you directly. Thank you.
That is how it works on the Series S and X (and PS5). You have to move current-gen games to your internal SSD before you can play them. Older-gen games (Xbox One/360/Original) can be played directly from the external drive, though.
Why does the system update corrupt everything?

What this guy doesn't realise is hdd is useless for any series x optimised games as they won't run on an external hdd at standard one X 4k resolution, once you have your series X your optimised games will only run on internal.
I think it’s because the video was made in February 2020 while the series x was released in November 2020
I use an HDD for my series x and the easy solution is to just transfer games between the console and drive when I want to play them so I get the fast load times and series improved graphics. Sure you have to wait like 10 minutes for some bigger games but it’s better than spending the extra money for an SSD that still can’t play enhanced games
It isn’t useless if you’re only using the HDD for storage. Some people would rather have the Huge storage space for any game and have no issue transferring optimized games, which takes little time. The SSD is just way too expensive for such little space even if it does run optimized games on the fly.
1:52 I think you meant decrease.

My Seagate xbox external drive just died today. I don't think I got 2 years out of it. ugh...
Did u have your stuff backed up
jman7481 I used it for Xbox games. Thankful that the games can just be downloaded again.

Wait, Maka91?
It's me!
@@Maka91Productions 😲
It's like a dream come true
Only the speed will be increased in other hand the quality remains the same right
That's the point idiot
@@cessposter hes just asking a question
@@cessposter woah, dickhead of the world spotted. Your wife(if u have one) obviously never gives u any. Sad little man
I bought the 4tb
The new xbox is gonna have a ssd that is 2.5 gig/s
The price isn't justified by the size of the ssd, sure it's fast but the lacking in size won't take much to fill up.
Yep. Bigger HDD (like 4TB) and just tranferring is worth it
Internal ssd is a much better choice
Plus this external ssds and hubs are just kinda crappy in the sense that it isn't an actual upgrade, not like opening up your Xbox and upgrading the HDD to an SSD.. Feels more like an extra attachment, that's it
XB series X free space for games 802gb. But PS5 free space is 664gb is less that why Sony is in mute mode about PS5 !
Not worth it to me, I'll stick with hdd until the price per gig comes in parity with hdd, well that and other factors too.
@MATT CYPRESS I certainly did that quite awhile ago. A lot faster than I expected. I got one 6tb external for Xbox, a 2tb WD Black pairs with a 256GB Nvme M.2. Really happy with it too 😁.
seagate is heat
Hi! Is it compatible with PS4-
Hi there, we actually have game drives specifically designed for PS 4 systems: seagate.media/6058TUlSs
@@seagate Well, I meant this 8 TB Seagate external HDD. It has only XBOX logo on it, but it doesn't mean it won't work with PS4. The title may confuse a lot of people that this is only for Xbox.
Got a series s love the console but the storage is a bit low so I went and got a 2tb hdd for 50 bucks, I'll get the expansion card once it's cheaper.
Samsung T5 DOES NOT let you play next Gen games
Lower the cost of XB series SSDs . It read speeds is 2.4 GB/S . There are 7GB/S for 50$ cheaper than this offering the same amount of space .
220$ ans 350$ for wtb is just a rip off for this kind of drives
When they come out with the 8 gig SSD I’ll buy it until then I’m getting the 8 gig
Very Dumb Reply: ssd vs hd
Thats 💯 % Not true. Sinds i have the 4tb external hard drive. Loading is mutch mutch faster
Its all about making more money. Not a big enough difference to pay twice as much for the same amount of storage
SSD it better then the HHD then just wondering
Yes but more expensive
Seagate 8 Tb hdd looks like Ps5
I got a 2TB Black seagate HDD got it on sale
SSDs are pretty cheap even when this video was released. The newer ssd’s are extremely small and looks like a ram stick. Now they are expensive
thanks
he is reading a script lol
WD self powered lasted 4 years...Seagate 5tb usb 3.0 on xbox one...2 years, warranty, 2 years 🤣🤦♂️
I have a seagate that's lasted well over 6 years and still going.. used it since the original xbox one
Don’t buy Seagate hard drives
They break so easily
I got one for Christmas and it broke in the first week
Don't drop it then.
I i have the Xbox ssd by seagate 8 terabyte game drive for my x still works
I’ve had mine plugged in for 3 years with no problems have you dropped it that could have destroyed the reading arm
you do know you just plug it in your xbox
Planned obsolescence, they are intentionally made weaker to get peeps off hdd, onto the more expensive ssd.
10 seconds in difference isn’t worth the money IMO
OR you buy a 2TB SSD for 120 bucks thats NOT Seagate.
