SSD drive on XBOX One X

BillMann-14A21039-9FE3-4A25-B7C5-16E295639BD2 · Nov 7, 2017

I had just purchased an Xbox One X yesterday and had connected my SSD drive that I had many games pre loaded and ready. The Xbox One X does not read my solid state drive. Not really sure where to go from here.

Xbox One External Hard drive

Hi all

I am after a good external enclosure for a ssd Samsung drive to plug into a Xbox one x. The problem is I don't know which enclosure would get the best performance for the drive.

Any advice. Oh it's a 250gb version of the ssd

Thanks

120GB SSD

Nope, the limit is there pretty much because a 120GB hard drive is so small that it will only fit one or two games and then its full. With games like Gears of War 4 and Halo 5, you may not even fit one game on the drive, and with the Xbox One X coming out,
they certainly wont.

Also the faster loading times from an SSD aren't that amazing when compared to a hybrid drive (which are considerably cheaper and offer larger storage capacity)

Should you upgrade Xbox One with an SSD?

I have the same problem. The xbox one x finds the SSD and I can see in the games & apps menu that a big part of the SSD is full of data, but the games doesn't show.

In addition to this, the wireless network connection stops working when I hook the SSD up with one or the other of the USB ports in the back of the xbox one x.

It works just fine on my old xbox one.

An Xbox One model had a hybrid hard drive/SSD. Now currently the Xbox Series X|S only has a SSD drive in it.

You forgot the xbox one x used a ssd lol

There is no way that the One X uses an SSD...loading times for Forza Horizon 4: Up to 2 minutes to load on my One X vs around 30 seconds on my PC (admittedly has an M2 drive).

The hard drive in the One X is the: Seagate 2.5” hard drive, model ST1000LM035 which is a 5200rpm drive and is a mobile hard drive

Hi,

I have one ssd drive but this is for computer, how can i connect this to xbox one x?

Obsessive Power

All Xbox One X consoles contain a standard 2.5" mechanical hard drive that is not user replicable. There are no official models with an SSD. Any discussions regarding replacing the internal drive are strictly prohibited on these forums.

You can use an external SSD on a One X. This can be one you can buy ready to plug in with the built-in USB cable or you can buy a standard SATA III SSD and attach it to a SATA to USB adaptor or via drive enclosure connected via USB.

Due to the low I/O speed of the One X, caused by its rather slow CPU, you can't get the same speed as you would with an external USB SSD on the Series X|S consoles.

I have the One X and cant wait for the Series X to come out with that SSD drive
