Try cloning whatever ssd is in the expansion card onto the 3rd party SSDs maybe there's an identifier or something that tells the Xbox whether it's a certified storage medium or not. Also try looking in a 4x to 2x PCIE adapter maybe?

just curious, but what if MS didnt block the device itself but its expecting a particular format or hidden partition structure, I wouldnt put it past them. maybe a quick check would be to extract an SSD from the official game expansion card chuck it in ur adapter, throw that into a PC and load up a partition editor to see what structure it has on there. Also, here is something that I bet no-one will try (but since your going nuts with the external storage and adapters), but might be fairly interesting. The internal XBox Series X SSD appears to be M.2 but in like a 2230 or 2240 formfactor, with the MB outside of it's chassis and the cooling jerryriged on, maybe a 2280 NVMe drive will work in that slot (with the PCB overhanging the edge of the MB. Pitty that MS decided to face the socket towards the edge of the case instead of towards the centre of the PCB, if it was towards the centre one would be able to fit a 2280 SSD in there without removing the MB from the case* * some Duct tape or cloth tape may be required to hold the drive in there, or insulate the SSD from the MB/original SSD screw mount :)

maybe the expansion cards are formatted in some way so that it works right out of the box and doesn't require any formatting once you put it in. So maybe that's what makes it pop up with the error message because the m.2 drive isn't readable in the first place. And it is also possible to make some sort of software that can do this for you, and it might be similar to that Linux bash script for formatting Xbox one hard drives.

Not surprised it didn't work, MS have been locking the storage solutions since the Xbox 360 days, when you had to clone the drive to fool the OS to make it think it as a official drive. This is still interesting, maybe in the future someone will crack the firmware to fool the system like they did during 360 days, or MS just allow other manufacturers to make their own cards, right now I think having a single chip storage solution to keep the card compact is adding to the cost, that and no competition.

To those who say that it’s less expensive to buy a regular expansion card, it’s not about now it’s about later. As the m.2s become more available they will go down in price. That’s why the ps5 is a better upgrade path in my opinion. If the drive fails it will be cheaper and easier to find because it’s a standard issue part unlike the Xbox expansion card

There is a RAW partition that allows the internal/ external to be recognized by that Xbox. I have seen ways to recover and install to other SSD’s but each Xbox SSD is locked to that system. A security measure implemented by Microsoft. So what I am saying is that you can not take an internal ssd from one Xbox X and put it into another Xbox X they are not interchangeable. The RAW partition is checked on startup and if it does not have the linked system info it will not be recognized.

IIRC, the CF express used by the modder was a Dummy CF express meaning there are no internals inside that dictate what protocol to use. just a direct connection from the Series X to the M.2 slot.
@ltl-cx9xs
@ltl-cx9xs 2 жыл бұрын
It's not Dummy cfexpress...cfexpress is a connection standard like m.2, meaning it just routes the pci express pins to different spots. Cfexpress is hot swappable pci express. M.2 is screw in pci express. They both can carry the NVMe protocol and can both fallback from pci express 4.0 to 3.0 to 2.0 etc. Because pci express is backwards compatible,what matters is the firmware on the ssd not the wires connecting it to the pci express lanes. So to answer your question, pass through are normal, no active cfexpress adapter is needed because it's not a chip or protocol or bus, it's a connector shape.

Hmm this could work, IF the SSD is formated like the internal SSD, like when we tried to make a clone or a bigger internal for the XBOX ONE family, the SERIES family need the internal SSD broken down and then make a formatter :D, then you should use that as an expansion. Overall no matter what you want in the end, PCIe4 gen NvME are not cheap :(

What about any other Seagate drives? Those might work. Might be locked down to Seagate only. I think it's worth a shot

When we buy a XSX, but they lock it down like this do we really own it? Steam Deck isn't like this, so I feel I own that...you would think they would let you do this.

It could be in an odd byte sector format. A lot of drives in datacentres are set up as 520 and 528 byte sector sizes as opposed to the pc and nvme standard 512. You CAN reformat the sector sizes on drives so maybe setting it to the 520 or 528 might get the drive to be recognised, just a thought.

I've been working in enterprise space for 20 years, and I've never seen anything beside 512 and 4k sectors. If anything, it may have some preformatted non standard partitions with some Xbox specific data written on it.

@@RunTheTape Perhaps as a software mask? Like the physical sector is still 512 bytes, but controller passes it forward with some extra metadata attached so it's 540 or 538 bytes? I don't think that IBM would chose to alter hardware on that level, neither would Microsoft, it doesn't make sense from performance standpoint. Of course I mean we are talking about SSDs? Because for rotational media it's freestyle basically. Remember CDs have 1570+ bytes, or so, for example.

Try this: go SSD to USB. The Xbox should pick it up, format it, and claim it as its own. From there, go ahead and plug it into the CF Express reader. See if the Xbox will recognize it then.

I'm actually interest in this kinda stuff. Did you try to format the drives before using them?

They’re brand new. The Xbox should format them, and a PC has no way to format them into the Xbox’s file format.

@@UFDTech a PC probably can't read the xbox's file format but it should still be able to do a bit-level clone (dd in linux, or maybe norton ghost in windows). Cloning that partition and partition table over to an NVMe SSD might be what gets past the security feature.

I wonder if a seagate m. 2 ssd would work as maybe it is restricted to seagate at this time...not saying it will work but would be worth to try sometime. 😏

You didnt open it and put it in the internal slot maybe that would work Possibly downloading the Xbox software onto it, first could help it boot rate from the internal hard drive slide with whatever adapters you need to set it up
