🌟 [ 5 ] External Storage for Xbox - DIY in 5 Ep 233 [ @ ]
( 1324 viewed : 154 like : 10 comments ) This video is about the benefits of external storage for the Xbox Series S and X. If you enjoy your Xbox but not juggling which games are installed because of storage limits, you have options: buying a console with higher storage, paying for an official Xbox Storage expansion card, or investing in better value external storage of your own. Seems straightforward, doesn’t it?
About 20% of an Xbox Series S or X’s storage is reserved for the operating system. That doesn’t leave a lot of room over for games. Xbox has announced new higher capacity storage options, such as the 1TB Xbox Series S, and the 2TB Xbox Series X, with 1TB and 2TB Xbox Storage expansion cards out there too. All of these solutions weigh in on the pricey side. The upside is that all your games can be stored and played off the internal or expansion card storage. However, turning to external storage for the Xbox offers benefits too: capacity, affordability, and versatility among them.
External drives
The Xbox Series S and X both have three USB-A ports, meaning up to three external drives can be connected at a time. That means there’s potential for a huge amount of external storage. Any drive you choose for this purpose will need to be USB 3.0 or better, with at least 128GB of storage to be compatible. A drive with fast read and write speeds will reduce your installation times, and reliability should also be a priority, so that you don’t lose hundreds of hours of game save data.
It's important to remember that external drives for your Xbox can store files from any generation of game, but they can only run games from previous console generations. Games specifically released for the Xbox Series S or X must be run from internal storage. You should prioritize internal storage for games specifically released for the console, or plan on spending time transferring data between the external and internal storage drives.
External storage drives are straightforward to use with Xbox. Plug in the drive, turn on the console, and if it’s compatible, you’ll see a pop up appear. Simply follow the instructions! Kingston offers a number of external SSDs such as the Kingston XS1000. It’s small, super-fast, and offers USB 3.2 capabilities. It comes in 1TB and 2TB capacities, and its size makes it perfect for a multi-drive setup.
