Dude...2 years after you made this vid...I bought that myself(today). Thank you for pretty answering my concerns. You definitely put my mind at ease. Time to game.
Bought this just under 2 years ago and it's stopped working, luckily it's under 2 years so I've sent it back to Seagate, they state that they won't send a new one it'll be another one that's been returned and fixed! I've got drives over 20 years old going strong, I really don't think the quality is there anymore.
I just bought this for my XBox Series S, and it refuses to let me play games for the XBox Series X/S. It will let me play games for the previous XBox consoles, but it won’t let me play games for the XBox Series X/S. Please help
@@GrantButler And why would it say compatible with the XBox Series X/S if it’s not even gonna let you play any XBox Series X/S games on it?! It makes zero sense! They should just say it’s only compatible with the XBox One instead of scamming people
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 ?
this is exactly the one i got for my series s! xbox one games play off it great, and its a great deal for the price. I recommend. most optimized for series s|x games don't work off it. AMA
@@GrantButler it works but most enhanced games for series s/x will only run 120 fps if downloaded through the ssd the xbox already has but if u use an hardrive u can still play games but will be capped at 60 frames rather then 120 frames
Bro I got the series s a while back and I have to constantly delete game for new ones so I was thinking on buying the new storage pack but then I saw this one and wondered if it was compatible and I just ordered it
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. Thanks for your response in advance!
@@GrantButlerso it’s fine for it to just stay on all the time with the light on and everything? Like that won’t ruin the drive just being on regardless of my console is on?
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".
@Joki__ it sounds like you're probably on a newer game system than mine. Older games you can play directly off of it but it's newer games and newer systems require the games to be played directly off the system or use a expansion card like this one amzn.to/3ApF00k
thats not an old USB style. Its a USB 3.2, the fastest USB speeds you can get. You could have gotten a cheaper USB 3 and you would not have noticed a difference as your console does not support USB 3.2
If i move my game to the external drive from my internal storage drive built with the xbox does the games have the same data has before i really need to no since i have recently ordered mines and it is a huge fear i keep thinking of
Hello, I just got a New Seagate external drive for my MacBook as. Christmas gift. I'm wanting to store videos on it. For the life of me I can't get the external drive to cooperate with the MacBook. Could you please tell me what I need to do?
Great video thanks for the info. Could you tell me if you know the safe way to unplug he hard drive from the Xbox one, should I wait until the Xbox is off
Got me one bc I need to add more files on my old games that I used to download and want to redownload back to have more games on my system but also this I got a question like can u put them in the back or the front like I want to know but yeah that’s all I got to say
This hard drive is crazy it will stop working,registering and eventually start beeping and you'll lose all the games off it please put your games back on your internal hard drive before it's too late it's something strange happening and seagate doesn't have a clue.
@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.
Does this work for Xbox one s and if so I don’t know if I should choose to download every new game on there cause I get some of mine from game pass and I don’t have the game pass version so will it put it on regular storage or will there be an error
Any problems with it? I'm going to buy the exact same thing but with 4 tb, i read some reviews saying that i can't actually play the games i have to move them into the Xbox externally --> internally and switching back and forth, are you doing this or you can play it even if it's in the drive?
@@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.
I have a question, so 1 how long did it take for red dead to acc download becuase ik trying to download other games like NHL and it’s taking like 30 min so i’m confused
Red Dead is HUGE, and my internet is slow, it took me about 9 hrs to download from the disk, and download all the updates. So 30 min sounds quite reasonable. Games like NHL don't have nearly as much to them
Maybe I’m just stupid but I need help lol I have this hard drive but I can’t play games off of it. I have to keep switching games back and forth. Is this the only way?
It always hums; that's the sound of a hard drive disk spinning. The intermittent light flashing is a design setup by Seagate to make it "look cool". None of it is controllable.
Does this drive work as a normal external drive for a PC? I would like to use it for both as a normal external drive for PC files but also want to use it for XBOX console at the same time
@whathappenedtoearth6495 yep I got one and it's almost been 2 years and going strong. I accidentally damaged the cable but easily found a newer more durable one online
this drive connects to the Xbox via usb and my games are stored on it and I play the games off of the external drive. Not all games are compatible with doing that, but most of the ones I play can be played off the external drive.

Hello Grant. I have a quick question? I was looking for 2tb HDD for my pc and found this game drive on amazon. I found it cool the way it looks and ordered it. Now looking at people using it for xbox only I have a concern, can I use it as a normal 2tb hard disk for my PC ?
@@deaferojust to let you know you’ll probably have to partition it, meaning set it up for pc, to partition it is easy and would only need to search it up on youtube, enjoy!
@@lMonsterSkillsl yes it should. I don't have that model, but my brother in law does, and he actually will take his drive as move it between his X, s, and one depending on the room he's in

Hey man so I’ve got the same Seagate 2TB on my Xbox one s. I’m just 24 hours it all of the sudden stopped detecting on my Xbox. it comes on but the light doesn’t turn on. I really need help any tips?? I’ve tried the new ports but nothing works.
The light on mine is intermittent, but are you saying that your Xbox doesn't even see it, so you can't play games off of it?
I have 55 games downloading as we speak lol 😎
🔥🔥🔥
I wana ask if the 2tb is storrage? I want to expand my storrage but the storrage expansion is too expensive

Ok thanks alot
Can you use this thing on different consoles? For example: I use it on my old Xbox, I get a new Xbox. Can I then still use it on my new Xbox?
Yes! Check out one of my latest videos:

@@GrantButlerfantastic! I’m gonna order one now. Thanks for your response!
I got the same one and it won't work I've tried everything
Do you have a computer?
@@GrantButler unfortunately not
@@khaosvibe3849 dang. I was going to say, plug it into a computer and try formatting it and then plug it back into your Xbox and see if it does anything.
Hello Grant. I have a quick question? I was looking for 2tb HDD for my pc and found this game drive on amazon. I found it cool the way it looks and ordered it. Now looking at people using it for xbox only I have a concern, can I use it as a normal 2tb hard disk for my PC ?
It will work just fine on your PC too
@@GrantButler Thank you so much for replying man. You really helped me out. Have a nice day and you've got this. Stay blessed 😄
@@deafero thank you!
P.S. check out my latest video if you're interested in entertaining in a giveaway
@@GrantButler Sure Imma subscribe as well. Thanks man 😄😄😄
@@deaferojust to let you know you’ll probably have to partition it, meaning set it up for pc, to partition it is easy and would only need to search it up on youtube, enjoy!
will these work on the series x
Yes
@Grant Butler I mean will seroes x games run off these ssd drive
@@lMonsterSkillsl yes it should. I don't have that model, but my brother in law does, and he actually will take his drive as move it between his X, s, and one depending on the room he's in
if you download a game on the external hdd and then you unplug the hdd what happens to those games?
They're stored on the drive until you plug it back in
How is it holding up?
Good. No issues. My old xbox one over heats some times, but no issues with the drive itself.
Does a 20TB drive work on Xbox Series S 😳
That's something I've wondered about. I don't know
I have a basic Xbox Series X with a basic internet connection, how fast would it be to transfer games from hard drive to internal storage and vice versa? Cause I am seeing a lot of comments that you cannot play a game from the hard drive but have to transfer it to internal storage first?
I'm not sure. I only have an Xbox one. From what I understood you can play games off of it
I just bought one and it wont let me play on the series x
