    I was wandering if i can download games into a USB drive because I have no more space on SSD


    Hello I want to install a few games from microsoft games and steam and I need to know if i buy a few 32Gb USB drives how can i install 1 or 2 games on the USB drive? My laptop only came with 256Gb and its almost used up. and then after I install games to USB drives can i unplug it then when i want to play a game can i put it back in then how do i start the game from the USB drive?

    i hope some one can explain this to me in easy to understand why to do it.

    thanks Curt

    :)

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Curtvan, being on Xbox One or PC, ideally using an external disk for this, external discs have a higher throughput than USB thumb drives.

    The recommendation is that it be at least USB 3.0

    Titanfall for 360 coming April 8 now.

    I have an Xbox 360 Slim with a 4GB memory stick, not a hard drive. I was planning to buy Titanfall for 360 for a while now, but recently I found out it required a 1GB hard drive space. If maybe I digitally downloaded it, then would I still need the 1GB hard
    drive space? Because I have a USB drive that can hold 20GB which should be more than enough for the game.

    Unable to Install Age of Empire IV on my D drive.

    I have installed games onto my C drive multiple times however, their size was only 20gb. With age of empires 4 I require more space which my C drive simply does not have as it is an SSD with only 200gb of space.

    I do know that it can install games just not on my D drive for some reason.

    Xbox One S external storage

    It needs to have a usb 3.0 connection and have over 256 GB of storage space. You can use either and HDD OR SSD drive so long as it meets those requirements.

    External Storage

    Update 1: SSDs have the same issue. It seems to be connected to the amount of data (game icons) being loaded at once and breaks at around 600. I have moved the data to 8 2TB SSDs and I can now use the My Games and Apps section again but only browsing one
    drive at a time. If I select all storage the console restarts.

    Because it only crashes when it tried to load 600 items I am inclined to believe that it is related to the amount of things installed and not the cumulative size of the installations because the other games are still launch-able even though they are not
    on screen via friend invites.

    Update 2:

    HDDs

    Combo HDD/SSDs [in USB 3.0 enclosure]

    Sata SSDs [in USB 3.0 enclosure]

    M.2 SSDs [in USB 3.0 enclosure]

    Samsung T5 SSDs

    All have this problem. SSDs were Samsung, Combo and HDDs were either Samsung or WD.
