Can I use quick resume on series S also with an external hdd?

You can still use external HDD for your Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One games but you can't play Series X/S games from them,

Series X/S games can only be played from the internal or external storage card,

with game file size's getting bigger, that 1Tb internal NVMe SSD is going fill up quick.

Do you have the one s or the series s

The one s is NOT series console

Also it MUST BE installed on the internal or external storage card not.external hdds

Next gen games cannot be installed on external hdds as they are just too slow

With the current state of.calisto protocol.it's best not.to use Ray tracing unless you have a series x as even high end pcs have trouble with it

The biggest difference is that if you want to play the Series X/S version of games they must be installed on the internal SSD or the Seagate SSD Expansion card. They cannot be installed on an external USB 3.0 drive, Quick Resume will also not work with any external USB drive. Previous generation games can still be launched from an external drive.

Personally I have the Seagate expansion SSD and prefer the speed and convenience it offers knowing that no matter what I'm installing the best version of the game and able to use all the enhancements that comes from playing on a Series X. It's worth noting that for the price, it's not much more that some of the high performances SSDs available for PC but it is definitely not cheap.

What makes me think it’s a problem with the HDD is that I just plugged in another external drive that I use on a series s and the series x saw all the games stored on it. I may need to format the other hdd?

I have the same issue to now and it’s effecting Fortnite. This seems to be an ongoing issue with Xbox and constant bugs and issues. First my Fortnite game won’t boot up and I’m using the series s. Second the quick resume is possibly the dumbest thing to have been added, my Xbox one is better than the series s because of that. Anytime I play an online game and open it, dosent resume it just glitches my game out and when I remove it from quick resume anytime I open the game it adds it back. Xbox can do better. It’s a constant issue and not only Fortnite saying failed login. Please fix it, I got the series s over the ps5 because of my love for the console but at this rate I will have to go to the PlayStation to play games without issues. Please assist as other users are having this issue.
