You've answered my biggest question which was the difference in time between transfer vs download speeds. Now I'll get me an external. Was totally on the fence. Appreciate you bro! Just gained a sub.
Note: you cannot play XSX optimised games from an external drive like this. It's not fast enough. But for unoptimised games you will indeed notice the performance increase (so long as the external drive is an SSD)
you can , they just don;t want you to play them from the HDD , every moden game on pc can be run with really slow hdd , all this is a marketing strategy forcing you to buy internal nvme , or the card xbox series x have
@@deadscene1 no, it literally doesn’t allow you to put optimised games on an external hdd in xsx. It blocks you. Yes, you can do what you like on a pc but not series x
@@coyley72 what? I put all my games on the external HDD. Even the optimized ones. I just need to transfer them to my main storage if I want to play. It doesn't block me from doing anything.
@@coyley72 The only games that works on it are Rocket League and The Master Chief Collection, which has a slower load time as a result. All the other "optimized for Series S/X" games requires you to transfer it to your console's drive.
I ordered the WD _ Black 5TB yesterday just to store extra games on my XBOX “S”. My XBOX “S” held Halo Infinite for me and Fortnite for my daughter on it’s own hard drive but not much left. Hope this was the right choice? I do’t care about waiting on load times.@Geek Street
You covered two main concerns i had about the wd usb game drive and the xbox series s. The two being cant reformat after formatting to games and apps and how you cant play optimized games from the external drive.
If you are gonna download a game and it has a X/S logo something like that, it has to be installed on the internal storage. If it doesn't have the logo, then you can directly play it from the external device. Hope this solved your problem and sorry if i was confusing.
So basically for any game that is “Optimized for series X/S” requires the special memory card. HOWEVER - all of your older games that were released prior to the Series editions are playable from *any* external storage. The only requirement is that it has to be 128gb or more and then it has to be USB 3.0 at minimum. So if you play Warzone or Apex, those run from the USB externals. If you want to play Resident Evil Village Optimized for X/S it has to be located on the internal drive or the Seagate memory card.
I think I know the answer to this, I just want to make sure it is correct. If I have an external hard drive already formatted for the Xbox One with games already installed it, do I need to reformat the same external hard drive from my Xbox One, when I plug it into my Xbox Series X?
Nice Video! But my Xbox series s says that the Game cannot start from the external Drive (WD Black P10 2TB)... I tried with Elder Scrolls Online... do you know whats the problem?
If it has a X/S logo it means that you can only run those games from the internal storage, if it's an Xbox one or 360, even classic Xbox you can store it an run it from the external drive, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, I just got mine yesterday and I've almost run out of storage.
i think the video should have clarified what you just said that optimized games can’t be played off the hard drive but non-optimized games can still be played off the hard drive
Both consoles need to fix this. Atleast my xbox allows me to store Series X optimized games on an external hard drive, but my playstation 5 doesn't allow this for PS5 games (only PS4 games). I understand the playing the games part from the external storage device, because you loose out on the next gen features, but the storing the games part is weird to me.
I have a series S and I have cod black ops and 2k21 that's it ....I already have no space left and then there's a update almost everyday....smh this is some bull
Great video, not entirely accurate though. You can play Xbox 360 games, Xbox One games and some Xbox Series games from the drive (e.g. Division 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ori and the will of the Wisps and Halo: Master Chief Collection are all Series X/S optimised but are all playable from a USB 3 hard drive)
I’m very confused. What’s HDD and SSD? What’s the difference? And are you saying that I can’t play series X or S games on those external storage things?
HDD/Hard drives are mechanical drives, SSD is soild state drive which is much faster in most cases. As for the series s/x games you cannot play them off the external drives just older games, xbox 360' xbox one etc. Not the new series games.
Thanks for your video. How can i add more than 3 external hard Drive ? And is it possible to keep only 1 copy of a game on all hard drive ( free space by removing double copies of a game ) ?
Question, I cannot play games if I have them on the hard drive instead of the xbox??? Or I can still select the games that are on the hard drive and play??
were thinking getting this as the ssd cards and seagate drive is expensive and others have told me to get this if wanted to store game on it and transfer it back later.
Why we choose the ex hdd for all new games? We need to use the internal for play the games and after we move it on the wd, for space on internal so we keep current media?
So basically, I can store both series x/s and older gen games onto an external drive, but can only play the older gen games through the external drive and not the newer gen games?
Wait, so... I'm still confused about this after watching a few of these guides on this topic. Does Xbox series X not let you play non-series X games off of an external HDD? For a comparable example, the PS5 specifically has a setting that states "transfer all PS4 games to external storage" whenever you insert a PS4 game. Once it has finished installing it to the external, you can play it from there. It's extremely simple and a seamless process. Is this same sort of system not in place for the Series X.? From what I'm seeing in the video, you're able to install backwards compatible games onto an external, but you have to transfer them back onto the series X SSD before you're able to play them. Is this incorrect? Thanks
@@GeekStreet I see. I don't think the PS5 has this requirement (correct me if I'm wrong), you can play PS4 optimized games off the external, which is a pretty notable downside for the XSX. Where you're able to dedicate all internal memory for PS5 games only & keep everything else on an external, if your XSX internal memory is already short with current gen games, you may have to start making cuts just to play a previous-gen game. Unfortunate setup to have in place I feel. Is there a way to tell if it is an optimized Xbox game to know ahead of time? Sorry for all the questions, I haven't gamed on console in 7+ yrs but am getting back into it now with both of the new systems!
i just got an seagate 2TB xbox drive it was 82 works fine i dont need to waste so much for an external drive if that was the case then i would of got the other one
So you can't play your games that's saved on the external drive? You have to transfer the game back to the internal drive to play the game? PC and PS5 let's you play the games on the external drive
Any way icant offord 850 dollars for a console to just playu know im working for 5 dollars perday in my country full hours 6 days in week i cant pay that much even tho series s is like 500 dollars in my country 😑
It’s not working for me and I have the same one. Works on my Xbox one S. On my Series S it was working for about 30min and now it won’t detect it. Since the beginning it didn’t want to detect I did a power cycle again and again and nothing. I wouldn’t doubt this is something from Microsoft just to get us to buy the official Microsoft series x/s storage expander. Any help ?
Dam. Didn't know u can't play games stored on my 4tb xbox1 external. Must be moved to console😭 Well that sucks ask!! Thanks for the video legend. Answered my Qs I needed to find out!
@@jaseyawesome9589 I keep telling my self that that’s where things are heading oh yes yay bigger and better load times better graphics blah blah but wait make sure u got enough space for our 100gb game and then 200 and 300 then there’s gonna be a battle pass for an additional fps and special rAy TrAcInG
@@hilt999 I heard about those long gig games 😭 for now tho I have a 4tb external so, I'm just getting cheapass xb, 360 and xb games. As those store on the hd. The limited memory on the dam thing really bloody kills it :(
You can only play games that are not optimized for XSX from other drives besides the Seagate 1tb. For instance, an Xbox One title. So you'll eventually need to get a seagate if you fill enough of your internal storage with XSX content, given if you desired to continue playing more xsx stuff.
Quick question regarding USB external hard drives on the Series X, can you plug more than 1 in at a time or is limited to just 1 USB hard drive and the SSD expansion card? Only reason I ask is because on the Xbox One, I use 2 USB hard drives and I can't find a single webpage that mentions if you can do this on the Series X as well.
I would assume that you could. If you have 2 usb hard drives for your Xbox one, as far as I know, those would work on the new Xbox too. Don’t quote me on that

Is there any way to see beforehand you first download a game whether it supports external HDD or needs to be installed internally?
If you are gonna download a game and it has a X/S logo something like that, it has to be installed on the internal storage.
