Xbox Series X Expandable Storage

[lungwun]

What would be the use of a USB adapter for the Seagate storage?

Copying files from the Xbox One X to the Series X I reckon

Those looking at an SSD on a usb enclosure might want to check this out. Yes it's about the Xbox one but it's a starting point for what to expect if you choose to run Xbox one games from the external drive. I suspect we'll see better gains on the series X using one of these as there's other improved parts on the prices as well.

Correct

They have propably missed a trick not to think of that.

Am I right in remembering they used to let you connect one console to another to transfer things?

I’m sure you could connect them via Ethernet or on the same network and they could transfer everything

 

[Nukleuz]

Yep, you can do a network transfer across any consoles on your lan, may not be the most efficient if consoles are wireless though.

Might keep the old one S somewhere with a stash of other games on it for copying, really not going to be the fastest transfer that way but hey it's another Tb of storage and media player somewhere.

Just pre-ordered the expansion from Amazon just in case I do want it near the release date

Amazon product
Its the only way to effectively expand the fast internal storage pool. Have a 4TB pocket USB3.1 drive I can also plug in for temporary storage.

Seems its sold out already on Amazon

A Moderator of a Forum can't change the Title name or Forum?

Does it have to be approved, and changed by 'Special Forces IT AV Management Team

That's very useful - even the external HDD isn't too bad, might get an external SSD but based on that I can definitely forego the internal expansion for a while.

It's been completely removed from Amazon, wonder why?....

you can't even search for it anymore

 

[crunchman]

Wow, I'd never have thought this would be popular enough to sell out at that price.

Or optimistically they've removed from sale to lower the price?

I'm building up my Microsoft reward points to buy it...

 

[Saxo Appeal]

After saying I was going to manage with my external, this has completely suckered me in !!

I can always cancel my order if I change my mind, but 2TB is going to be ample for my needs

Plus, as mentioned above... I'm a sucker for new Tech
