    External Storage for Xbox One and Xbox S


    Hello,

    I currently have an Xbox One, but sadly I have run out of storage space. I want to buy external storage, however, I will later on in this year be upgrading to the Xbox Series S. I need an external storage device that is compatible with both Xboxs.

    My research has got me nowhere. In some places people are saying Series S requires a 3.1 connection so a 3.0 won’t work, some are saying only an SSD will work and not a HDD, some are saying both Xbox’s will accept a HDD but the Series S won’t play new game
    from the external storage. I am currently looking at the 2TB Seagate Expansion HDD, it’s decent and affordable, but it only uses a 3.0 connection. This is really confusing me. I don’t know what I need and what I don’t.

    Can someone explain to me please what are the real external storage requirements for the Series S and what external storage is recommend that will work on both Xboxs. My budget isn’t too big. I’d like to stay below £100.

    Thanks,

    Cheeeese

    :)

    Buying game for XS but then it’s not after installing it

    Ok did you put it in an internal memory or storage card or external usb drive

    If external that would be why

    You can only put it in an internal memory or storage card

    Now I'd you are saying you have a Xbox one S

    That isn't a series s

    Series consoles.are different and are not considered Xbox one nor is it part of the name

    Also any games.that are meant for the series consoles has to be on storage card or.internal memory

    Xbox one games works regardless of Xbox one s or og or one x

    And you can use any storage

    But for Xbox series consoles there is only s or x not one s/x

    And only games on optimized nvme or the Xbox nvme storage card will download the series version

    If you put it on external it would only download the Xbox one as you arent running thr optimized nvme

    Hi,

    Yes you can use it. You can use any external storage that the Xbox One supported on the Series X and S. However, external storage can only be used to play Xbox One games and BC Xbox 360 and original Xbox games.

    Series X and S titles need to be run either from the internal SSD or the optional expansion card.

    So if i buy a external storage hard drive for an xbox one and use it on the series s it will run just as good as the one designed for the series s and seriesx?
