    Thinking of picking up an SSD for Xbox Series S


    Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting an SSD for extra storage to the Series S. Between SATA and NVMe, which one should I go for?

    Apparently NVMe are faster but someone said the speed are bottlenecked on USB 3.1 ports

    Is this true? Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Yes it’s true

    They're both overkill for USB

    Thinking of picking up an SSD for Xbox Series S

    Bear in mind, even faster SSD external storage only works for Xbox One and Xbox One X enhanced games. They won't work with Series X|S games. You can store these games on these drives, but you can't play them.

    NVME is a waste of money as the USB 3.1 ports maximum bandwidth is 5Gb/s (or 500MB/s).

    If you want an SSD for your Xbox One or Xbox One X enhanced games, then your best choice is a SATA SSD connected either via a SATA to USB 3.1 adaptor or an USB 3.1 external drive enclosure.

    I need help with my series s

    It's because the Series S/X are new gen. They require the xbox SSD. You are using an HDD. SSD's are way faster than an SSD, the series s is trying to run the 120fps and higher graphics. Thats why they are telling you to move the games. It wants you to play them on the internal SSD storage.

    2tb SSD only showing 465 gigs as full amount

    It's a series s and the ssd is a Seagate back up plus slim it is USB 3.0

    Which Xbox was the first to come with SSD?

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