Moving games between drives on the consoles depends on the different technologies - it's obviously much quicker on next-gen.
However, when it comes to Xbox One models, our tests we found no discernible difference in loading speeds generally.
#HOW TO CHANGE ICON PICTURE ON XBOX ONE SERIES#
Naturally, the performance between an external drive and the SSD inside the Xbox Series X/S is significant. We did and the drive worked very well straight after.
We also recommend you completely shut down your Xbox One and reboot. On your My Games & Apps screen, you will now see that the entire storage available, both internally and externally, is accumulated into one statistic. It is specially designed for gaming, with a sturdy build and storage of up to 5TB for around £100. At less than £60 for 2TB, it's also good value.Īlternatively, you can also get an Xbox edition or standard version of the WD_Black P10 Game Drive. It is USB 3.0, doesn't require an external power source so doesn't take up an additional socket under our AV cabinet, and its Xbox-adorned facia makes it a good fit. We opted for a 2TB Seagate Game Drive designed especially for Xbox. If you're happy with that, there are plenty of external drives to choose from. Remember though, as we've stated above, games with optimisations for Xbox Series X and S will not play from a USB drive, so this is a solution for Xbox One and other backwards-compatible games only. If you have an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you can opt for a Seagate Storage Expansion Card that slots into the rear of either next-gen machine.Īt present, it is only available in 1TB (although smaller sizes are out imminently) and is fairly expensive, but since it works exactly the internal storage, it's the only expansion that will enable all the next-gen features and loading times boasted by both machines.Īlternatively, you can use an external drive as long as it is USB 3.0-enabled or above (in fact, you can use up to three of them, one for every USB port on the Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox Series X). The Xbox Series X and S can only play next-gen games from their internal drives (or Storage Expansion Card), but can play Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games from a USB alternative (even with quick resume enabled), so it could be that you put all your backward compatible games on an external drive, reserving your internal SDD for native X/S games. Before we start, it's worth noting that an Xbox One will use an external drive in exactly the same way as its internal drive, so it's an ideal solution and could greatly improved the amount of games you can store at once.
