But even if you did change the power state it’s not like it won’t delete that partition unless it explicitly states with a notice or something. Why would Microsoft take time to delete a partition that FUBRs a Xbox SSD just by changing a setting. Even if you did swap to the new power state and your drive failed, you will have to get a new SSD and even still that SSD would need the encryption key to boot. Is a HSM module but with some soft/firmware trickery

Apparently what you say it make some sense but the way I see it is not like that because my thinking is that 1GB partition kept exclusively for the pairing key, so is not used to write on it frequently or even at all(for example updates and games), because there's nothing there but key. So that partition *should be in good condition. Its still bizarre that the whole SSD failed so quickly, even with the "Always-on" option of the console. Maybe its a very low quality SSD that MS put in all Xbox Series.

This wont happen to everyone at once. I would say that maybe after a few years it will degrade the SSD. This is a worst case scenario in the video of a complete SSD failure. As long as you unplug your console of have it fully shutdown on a regular basis it wont completely fail after a year or 2. I would recommend never turning it on Sleep Mode and keeping Shutdown on. Unplug the whole console at least once a month and let it sit for a few hours. Regarding the heat, if the vent on the top is hot that means your console is drawing heat out of the motherboard and its a good thing. If the vent fan wasnt getting as hot as it does then that would mean that it wasnt pulling enough heat out of itself.

Most important thing would probably be to minimize hibernating gaming sessions for quick resume. Everytime you do that, it basicallly creates a RAM image on the drive. I suspect the main reason why some of those SSDs are failing this early on might be because people try a lot of games using Game Pass. Hopping back and forth between games all the time, paired with a feature like quick resume can burn through a lot of write cycles in a short amount of time.

While you have all the equipment to test everything, could you check the following? If we use the external expansion drive on the series X, there is a setting that says: “setup to use on many consoles /swap between consoles” and another that says: “setup for use on this console”. If we choose the second, is it possible that Xbox writes that secret encrypted key/partition to the external seagate expansion drive as well? And if the internal drive fails then we could possibly disassemble the external drive, and put the nvme from it on Series X board? Could you check with an external expansion drive to see it there is an XBFS partition present there?

They must know about it because a couple months ago the released an update that put all consoles into turn off mode and if you wanted always on you had to go turn it back on

Thanks for the video ..I'm a new subscriber.. I just bought an Xbox series X for the first time..I did have my Xbox go to sleep for convenience to use for remote play but after seeing your video I changed the settings to power off. Yes it's a pain remembering to turn the Xbox on but I rather keep it around for a while. 😜

Dakota, instant on doesn't constantly read and or write the SSD. I'm also on IT technician. I fix computer hardware and software. I can tell you that instant on other Xbox keeps it in a very very low power state, now. You can also turn off the f****** external hard drive or you can turn off another drive. As I also have a USB 3.0 external NVMe attached to my Xbox in a two terabyte form. Again, the instant on keeps me very low. Power state does not write and it only reads to it or rights to it when there is an update or there is a need to write to it. Otherwise it does not write to it or read it. It is an instant on if you need to want to have a remote access to your Xbox if you're away from it and you want to basically use it as a server to play your games using remote play. I'll be the only time that it comes on or it comes on when it needs an update or it needs updated game. Otherwise it does not write to it and it does not read it. So you were wrong that it is failing because of it possible reading or writing. Like other people have said in your comments, but you have not responded to. Is most likely a failed or bad controller which could fill for many different reasons. But this is not the SSD.

Hay Im new I just came across your channel btw this is not related to what your showing in the video so I have an Xbox Series X and had it for a few years about mabye like 3 or 4 years and it's been running perfectly fine no issues I have just noticed every game I play it seems like the games are having a slow rendering issue I play alot of open world games like GTA 5 for example but when moving around the trees the bushes rocks buildings and roads tend to load in slowly and this just started about like about mabye a month ago I've tried every trouble shooting step I can think of like clearing the cache resetting the console but keeping my games and apps unplugging it going through my storage checking wifi and opening the console and cleaning it out and removing most dust in it everything. Everything else seems to work fine like watching shows and movies etc. But only playing games I notice this happening mabye you might know what's going on do I have a hardware problem could it be a graphics card issue or could it be an update issue do I need to let Microsoft know and send it in let me know or if someone else might know let me know mabye this could be related idk

would it be smart to pull it out early and make a clone to another drive as backup?

This is what I recommend doing. Sad part is that doing so will cost you somewhere around 100-200 . You can get a pretty cheap ssd to ssd cloner for about 40-45, the 2230 M.2 SSD 1t is the costly piece of this cloning puzzle, it will cost anywhere between 45-160.

@@jamezxh Cloning SSD's does work, it's been done many times here by the repairer here that posted this video. The point is that you've got to clone the SSD before it goes bad. If your SSD has already failed, it's too late. I use to do this for many of my older consoles, I kept a backup of my psp's sd card, my ps2's modded HD, my OG Xbox HD and now my series X. Again it's going to cost you a bit to get the ssd cloner and the back up 1tb SSD card but it will turn out to be worth it in the event that you need the backup.

@Noxonomus Жыл бұрын

@@0errab0 you don't need to buy the SSD unless the drive actually dies. You should be able to get away with just keeping the 1 GB image on your computer/a random flash drive and only write it to a new SSD if you need to later. You also don't need a SSD cloner, just a computer with a slot for the SSD.

Remember when Microsoft offered advice to save money on electricity bills by recommending power save instead of instant on wonder if it was their way of fixing it without admitting there is a problem.

Tesla had the same problem , constantly reading a writing to internal storage behind the touch screen center console, they ended up doing an update on software so this does not happen.
