if you want to speed up the copy, use: "sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=1m count=1100 status=progress" that will set the blocksize to 1 MB and copy about 1.1G of data (enough for the master partition table copy, and the first 1GB partition then it will stop. The larger block size will speed it up to whatever speed your USB can handle (36MB/sec ish if over USB2) Also means you can just leave it running as it will stop after the partition anyway.

@salmon85 10 ай бұрын

yeah setting the blocksize is a must with dd, otherwise you're gonna be in for a long wait

@FabioBaltieri 10 ай бұрын

Maybe also worth trying to clone the whole thing and then running gparted on the new drive (/dev/sdd), give it a write (w). It should complain about: Warning! Secondary header is placed too early on the disk! Do you want to correct this problem? (Y/N): y That should fix it for good.

@Palewhitegamer 10 ай бұрын

Though quicker, this also introduces additional risk with the copy, as you can lose bits during the DD copy process which can introduce failures. I always do a 512byte / 0.5m block size at max, unless I'm populating a small capacity drive, or committing over a pure PCIe interface.

It looks like the User Content partition is the one you want to max out with the additional drive space. So instead of creating a random new partition for the unallocated space, just expand the User Content partition (the 800gb one) to take up any space that would otherwise be unallocated. An easy way to do this would be to boot into either system rescue live cd or gparted's live cd on a computer with both drives attached.

Great attempt Phil. I work in IT and have had issues cloning M.2 SSDs due to the logical block size. This is something that is set in the firmware and can't be changed. I don't know what the block size is for the Xbox SSD's, but I'd hazard a guess the new SSD is different, which is why it won't clone. Maybe check that and potentially try another 2TB or 4TB drive which has the same block size as the original SSD.

You have to find a clone utility which allows the following: Sector-by-sector clone, also known as bit-by-bit copy, means to clone all the sectors on a hard drive, even if the sector is blank or it is a logically bad sector. Thus, the cloned drive will keep exactly the same as the source drive

I remember with the Xbox 360 there were firmware limits to the size of the disk you could upgrade. At the time it was awesome going from a 20GB drive to 120GB. Given they are making a 2TB Xbox Series X. Once those are released it may be possible to upgrade to 2TB on all Xbox Series consoles.

Try using a software called “R-Drive Image” you will be able to see all partitions on a drive, either copy them on the fly to another drive, or save the partitions as an image and burn onto a drive later. I am very sure you can copy your 1GB partition from the drive to your 4TB, i have done similar things using this software for Windows and Mac drives…

It might have failed as you parititoned it in windows before doing the linux part... a GPT partition table is stored at the start of the drive with a backup copy at the end of the drive... the xbox might not be happy if they dont match (with a blank unpartitioned drive, the backup copy wouldnt exist at the end at all)

my guess is it is like the 360, they had security sectors for the drive back in the day. you could only write them to specific drives with specific sizes. I remember buying a WD BEVS series drive, it was noted that even if you bought a terabyte size it would only format with the 500 GB at the time.

@@crownless236 Love when people with no clue about the topic spread BS like you just did. Has zero to do with that. The largest official 360 HDDs are 500GB, no larger ones exist, and therefore no secret key exists to modify WD HDDs to imitate an original drive larger than 500GB

I might sell my current Series S to upgrade to the 1tb version later this year. 400gb is not enough for anyone these days especially since most AAA titles are 80+ gigabytes. I had to order a 256gb external SSD a few months back and I just ordered a second 512gb SSD to further expand my storage. That being said the price of the Series S is low and I paid even less than that for mine because it was an "after Christmas" overstock from BestBuy. It was on sale for a whopping $199. I paid $299 for my PS4 Slim in January 2022. So I guess its not all that bad, but still... Microsoft should have released the S with 1tb and the X with 3tb.
