Xbox series x and about 2 months ago I have plenty of storage over 187gigs left and a expansion card and it's up to date on updates. It's error code 0x80830003 saying that the Xbox is out of memory and after a factory reset it works for like a week or 2 and now it's every e days.

Hi Batm4n.

Your current drive will be usable on the Series S/X. For next gen. games and for games with Smart delivery, you will not be able to get the performance needed, but for x360 games it will run just fine.

Hi there.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. Unfortunately not. All Series S/X and Xbox One Games with Smart Delivery, thoughs have to run from the internal storage or expansion slot drive. But for Original Xbox, X360 and
Xone game without enhancement, they should still run fine from your external unit.
