    Seagate Expansion Card for Series X hangs system when booting


    Hello all.

    So I picked up the expansion card. Whenever I boot y Xbox with the card in the unit and an external drive (WD MyBook) the system will hang on boot, make a buzzing noise, then reboot without an issue.

    I tried formatting the card to no avail. This happened on my first unit as well and I returned it thinking it was the system but nope, it happens on this one as well. Others seem to have the issue but there doesn’t seem to be a universal fix.

    Thoughts and suggestions?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Xbox Series X questions

    You have two options with the Series X, either the official expansion card which adds 1TB extra storage, and you can run your Series X Enhanced games directly from it (link below):

    Or you can run a USB External hard drive, but you will need to copy your Series X Enhanced games from that to your internal SSD before being able to play. This is the cheaper solution if your happy to copy the games back and forth as you wish, other wise
    it's the official Seagate expansion card.

    Hope that helps
