About series X MB downloading speed

Thank you.

I don't know how much Mbps you have in your ISP contract, but 180mbps is a good speed.

As I informed previously, via Wi-Fi, even if it's 5Ghz, you will not be able to use all the speed. (Keep in mind the other factors I shared as well) So, you may want to contact your ISP regarding what's the maximum Mbps the plan you paid supports.

Additionally, you may want to try using an Ethernet cable and check if you can get a higher speed.

Yes then its mbps, and right now on my xbox series x is at 180 mbps. Currently I am using 5ghz wi-fi and I were wondering if 180 mbps is normal for xbox series x, because it feels like it should be more and I am not sure..

Xbox servers allocate resources based on what is being downloaded, current server loads, and need. For example if you're downloading something that's 500 MB is going to assign you a lower priority and someone who's downloading something that's 50. All the users have to share the servers in the bandwidth, so if you're trying to download on a Saturday afternoon, you're probably not gonna get the best speed, versus what you might get at 10 o'clock at night

Typically Microsoft downloads tap out around 250 Mbps

Hello, Liam Z. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Do you mean to say 180 Mbps? This question is asked because the download speed on Xbox consoles is usually represented in Mbps.

Apart from that, do you connect your console to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable?
This other question is asked because via Wi-Fi you typically can't get the complete downloading speed. So it is always recommended to use an Ethernet cable.

However, even with a cable, there are a lot of factors that can interfere, like how much people in your house are using the network, the time of the day, etc.

Regards,

Arturo.

Hi,

Unfortunately no. The USB 3.1 ports on the Series X have a maximum transfer speed of 550 MB/s. A fast Nvme would still be limited to the speed of the USB bus.

The Expansion card uses a PCIE 4.0 connection which is around 10X faster.

You can only install and play Series X games on internal or expansion card, no other drive is fast enough.
