@@gbeaver57 I mean Blu rays are basically useless, they force you to download the game anyway and they are too slow to be used to play games so just go back to cartridges lol.

Dont even ask me about my steam library

That was my mistake when i had the xbox one s i got the 8tb hub and realiae wtf do i need so much i literally only needed less than 2 tb of games i filled the entire 8tb but rarely played more than 8 games at a time so i learned my lesson im just using my series x and the 1 tb additionals seagate expansion card and thats it thats all i need if i get an external drive ill get an ssd and that will be for the normal xbox games. Ill only out the x/s optimized games in the seagate expansion card oe internal series x storage

I agree, that’s a steep price to pay for extra storage.

You can also use an external SSD on the S/X and it works on a lot of the boosted games.

@@Spartan_83 which external SSD on the series S/X do you recommend?

@@mtbeb5414 The series x still uses the USB-A ports which are caped out at 5Gbps so any SSD around that speed is fine don't waste your money on something that is faster.

It's only $219 that's so cheap

Not really, the 800 gig on the internal drive is stuff all. The 900 on this will be filled in minutes

@@stevejones1488 he means the size of it by the way.

@@learningchannel3850 i found out that my external HDD works on my series X without being formatted

@@stevejones1488 really? What's the speed of your hdd? Is it okay for games?

ya but that was just for savegames. these storage units are for running them. it's a different thing. I love how they work like the old memory cards though. but $220 US? yikes. I'd just use an extra HDD/SSD and transfer them.

Thats pretty cool, still sucks its a proprietary ssd instead of going with the more standard m.2 form factor

I didn’t know this. That is pretty neat

@@buddybleeyes if it was m.2 I doubt anyone would be taking it back and forth to different xboxes

@@buddybleeyes they did it because they knew people would try to use 3.0 drives which are not fast enough. This way they avoid customer service problems. Interestingly the internal SSD is actually a M.2 form factor and will probably be unofficially upgradable as soon as modders figure out the partition scheme.

You can do that? Very nice. Its almost like a traditional memory card then, which is pretty convenient

I feel the same way. Hopefully a 2tb or 4tb comes out from them. I feel like 2tb-4tb would be way more worth it in the long run.

Here's the thing. You seem to think that MONEY is the only currency. TIME is a currency too. This card costs $220. Assuming that you are currently working, how long would it take you to earn $220 to spare aside from paying bills, rent, etc? It should take you no more than 2-4 weeks at the most. Waiting a year or more for this card to drop $50-$100 when you could've come up with that amount within a month doesn't make much sense. If you really WANT the card, then buy it now if you have the money.

@@PSYCHOV3N0M while all true after you drop the cash on the system and a few games most would be drained of cash. But that's my plan too really. Just maybe 50 bucks here and there. No rush and by the time the memory is full I'll have the cash to get the memory card.

Wait for someone to reverse engineer it so you can just use a regular nvme ssd

@@frogg4711 I would prefer that option honestly ngl.

What??????? No different from any other storage device.

Your storage currently is a memory card lol

Micro SD cards are memory cards. A lot of devices use them, including the Switch obviously.

Sounds like scott gonna have to do a new video.

PS Vita with SD card: No?

I mean at least the Xbox Sex memory card has an advantage. The Vita memory card had no advantages over micro SD cards. It'll probably look weird, but I hope someone makes an M.2 drive to Xbox Sex converter.

@Vipergaming23 They meant the pricing

@@mrbisshie They are already on it.

@@mrbisshie Are you 12 years old?? Stop calling it the Xbox Sex.

@Hallison Michel You are wrong a 1 TB Gen4x2 NVMe with this speed cost about this price I do not understand these people like Spawn Wave who don't bring this point up. And no the PS5 approved memory NVMe card will not cost cheaper as a matter of fact it may cost a little more . Do some research people please.

@Hallison Michel idk if it's the software or something but the series X will either match or outperform any pc you put in front of it in loading times, it's crazy fast Also it is NVME so you're wrong, you could have just googled before replying

@Hallison Michel There isnt a SSD out there that can go even a third of the XBox drive. SSD's run on Sata 3 which tops out at 600 MB/s. The XBox also uses an NVME controller, SSD's dont need fast controllers. It's speed is held back by the lack of DRAM on the card itself.

@Hallison Michel so what? Nobody is claiming it's the fastest nvme around. NVME drives are faster than standard ssd's, even at their slowest. You having a faster drive doesn't mean squat. You should really read up on drive technology before you spout off as if you are knowledgeable.

@@MrMackievelli I'm sorry, what's your point? You can get an extremely-fast NVME 1TB drive for less than $90 and a 2TB for $220. You've moved the goalposts so far that you're in a different stadium.

yeah, that's the point.

Exactly

When’s the actual next gen games coming to Xbox? Halo infinite, Forza horizon 5, and Gears 6?

@@JolliAllGenGamer keep miles Morales and Demon Souls. That's all you guys have.

@@JolliAllGenGamer Cyberpunk will probably need an SSD already. Exclusives are not the only actual next gen games.

Yeah Def, Sony isn't even doing it, and one TB NVME's are really expensive too. PLENTY of people only had 1TB with Xbox One and PS4 and weren't bitching before. Not every game is like Call of Duty, Cyberpunk is only 75gb

@Aureo Yes and imagine your children have their own series s for example, you can just buy one to start and hot swap it...in case of a PS5, I am pretty sure once it's installed, you wont remove it to transfer it to another console, so potentially, you will buy 1 extra storage by console...where you can with only one for the Xboxes

Relax guys they will get their external ssds yall acting like they will need ever get them but it is annoying that don't have at launch and cyberpunk is actually more or less the same size as the witcher 3 goty edition just realized that😹

@Aureo They did and it rarely went down in price. (Vita)

Newer games will be less big in size

Sup kirby. I follow you on Twitter. I’m MGuyota lol.

Kirby, do you think once 3rd party drives are out that they might have slower speeds? I hope its the sustained speed MS was talking about(like the sustained speed in the mem card that’s available now).

@Console Gaming oh yeah that does make sense, other wise you wouldn’t be able to play next gen game right? Duh lol, I didn’t think of that, thanks. & yeah same here, I was thinking about getting one but decided to just get a 1tb hard drive for my current games, I’ll live w/o a mem card for a while longer. I think I might get one when prices go down. Mattrick? We don’t talk about him lol, he single handedly ruined the entire xbox name, so much that MS considered closing the gaming division. A bad, bad time in gaming for xbox, I’m glad we have someone that actually cares about gaming. It will be one hell of a gen for us, I have no doubt (imo at least, not sure how many others will agree) that this will be the best gen (xbox) ever.

@Console Gaming What?? I didn’t know that. I was planning to put all optimized games on the internal, you just saved me a sh!t ton of space. MW is definitely getting moved to my external storage now lol, I thought to get it to be optimized it had to be on internal, hopefully the same can be said for Cold War. Ik that game is a native XSX/S game, but it would be awesome if I can have that game also be on a hard drive. Once I get my Series X this Thursday I’ll find out. & yea I might consider having some games on the internal for the sake of faster loading. I played on my cousins XSX and man... current gen just sucks 😂😂😂, I went home everyday just thinking how much better it is, like “oh his xbox would have booted up faster, it also would have loaded games faster, it also has 120 fps on some games”. Have you seen the S in person? I went to best buy yesterday and that thing is tiny... I think that’s the console that surprised me the most of all 3. Plus it’s (imo at least) the best looking too

I wanna step out of my comfort zone and get a PS5. Are they gonna have a storage upgrade cuz if not I'm in big trouble

Not the same as you’re ps2 memory card , very far from it

This is more of an external hard drive.

@@VegitoBlackityBlack yeah

Well they found a way to charge everyone far to much for a pointless addon.

Old games series x that's why

That’s actually not that terrible of an idea. I bet something could definitely come of that

That would be so expensive, but a cool idea and collectors would be on it. This reminds of the cartridge days, specifically N64 😆. Those games were crazy expensive when the system launched and it pretty much remained that way for the lifespan of the console.

Going back to game carts huh lol. Maybe Nintendo had it right all along lol

@@aaronpearson7929 Considering how well the Switch is doing, definitely. 🤑

Those were the days.😀

@Console Gaming Obviously they have it disabled, it has to be at least on par with the PS5's SSD. I don't get it how you're speaking as if it's a bad thing that they have to test the SSD and give the green light, this is to ensure optimum performance. At least they aren't trying to monopolize the market like microsoft. Imagine paying for a console whose only redeeming quality was marketed to be its processing power yet it performs worse in virtually every game and forces people to play last gen games since it doesn't have any new ones

@Console Gaming Hahahahah way too predictable boxy, now go play your last gen games for the nth time

@Console Gaming in a few years, mid gen probably, yeah just about any SSD. You're just spiraling about it because the compatible ones are very new and are barely considered on the market

Well to me it can save whole game only if you have the game digitally, but if you have the game physical disc and want to bring your games to your friends house then you would only need to bring both card and physical game and also sign in your live account on your friend's xbox

It has the same partition scheme as a Xbox one hard drive. You can probably use the same programs used to replace the internal Xbox one HDD, but with a PCIE 4 SSD. To answer your question, it isn't readable immediately by Windows
