    I’m confused as to what the benefit of this is… you can’t play games off it, and you still have to “redownload” games apparently. Is it just simply a storage device that you can carry around with you games on it ? I’m looking for something that I can download games to and access them quickly. Is this just like a digital game case ?

    So I just got my 2TB Seagate Drive for my Series X and was wondering does it just stay on all the time? I’ve heard on Reddit some users have there’s turn off when the console is off but I haven’t figure out how to do that. I don’t want it to be on when I’m not using it but find it unintuitive to have to unplug it every time I turn off my Xbox. Also the Xbox Green looks so good next to my Series X lol.

      It depends on the game and the series of your system. If you have a Series S or X and they're new, you can't play games off of it unless tue games are compatible with the Xbox ONE. For newer games and systems you'll need what's called an "Expansion Card".

      @brendonpagan2368 it depends. Some games you can, others you can't. It depends on you system too. Typical newer games on the X & S can NOT be played off of it. But all games on the One and older can be played off of it.
      If you have the series X or S you will want what's called an "Expansion Card" it's an external SDD that has a port on the back for faster speeds to keep up with modern games.

      @@joseph_roquez9801 Quick tip here: If you are using it for a Series X or S, most X/S optimized games will require you to have them on the internal storage. Any backward compatible game can be played from the HDD. These Seagate HDDs are well optimized to work with the Xbox ecosystem and have remarkably fast transfer speeds. I have the 4tb model and it surprised me how fast it could transfer. Easily as fast as many SSDs. On the Xbox One, you can play any game from the external hard drive.
