Games are not downloading correctly to portable SSD

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

It sounds like there may have been an issue with the download or transfer process. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check to see if the Xbox app is installed on your home PC. If it is not, you will need to download and install it.

Make sure your portable SSD is connected to your home PC and recognized by the system.

Open the Xbox app on your home PC and go to Settings > System > Storage. Make sure that your portable SSD is selected as the default install location.

Try downloading Ark again from the Xbox app and see if it installs to the correct location on your portable SSD.

If the above steps do not work, try deleting the partial download of Ark from your home PC and then re-downloading it from the Xbox app on your work PC.

If none of these steps work, it may be worth contacting Xbox support for further assistance.

Series X + Samsung Portable SSD T5 1Tb can't be used to record game clips anymore (error code 0x80bd003c)

Yes, I'm using a Samsung Portable SSD T5 SCSI to store my captures.

External Hard drive tends to be larger, more noisy, less durable, less portable, than an external SSD. Yes I notice a bit of faster loading speed when I switch to a SSD. Games that has slower loading speed are now more tolerable to load than before. I really
appreciate using the SSD when playing Forza Horizon 2 cutting down the loading time switching places or almost instantly switching custom paints on cars. There also been times when the the game level start before the intended loading screen scenery finishes
like in Destiny the game start before the dialog ends.

Logical: Get a Seagate Portable External Hard Drive for $90. The 2TB should last you about 3 years. In the future when you need more space can get a SSD that by then should be the standard selling on a fair price.

If you don't want to worry about space again then get the Seagate Desktop External Hard Drive for $150. The 5TB should last you forever . For only $60 more you get 4 more TB than the portable one. The drawback is that it comes with an extra cable to power
it.

The Spoil Option: Transcend 1TB SSD for the best portable option with no noise, moving parts, durability, and getting the most speed out of USB 3.0. Their prices are going down over time though.
