Why can't you play series x games on ext ssd?

No Seagate and nvme are 4.8gbps

Not 500mbps

And you are also sitting behind a not one but 2 buses

The nvme sits right on the pcie4.0 bus

Seriously look up nvme m.2

Any usb device has yo run to the usb bus then the pcie system bus

Your bottleneck is the usb bus

If you used the ssd internally then you would be using sata bus which is faster but the bottleneck is the sata bus master then yo your pice then your south bridge then north bridge vs nvme they go on the pcie directly to your north bridge

Any hdd even ssd don't compare to a nvme

Ssd maybe fast but it is still bus master limited but nvme bypasses that issue by using the pcie4.0 directly onto the CPU memory etc is the north bridge

I see, so is that the same deal for PC gaming? Like because the games are 4k@120fps it will only use nvme speeds?

Also when will Microsoft ever release 2tb or even 4tb of the nvme card?

At present the only capacity NVMe expansion card is 1TB. It does support hot swap but so far only 1TB has been offered,

I am sure some users will spend more for 2TB or even 4TB.

Damn,so the series x games are just built different. And it's not possible for xbox to come out with a update to where the series x games can use more of the 16gig ram and other resources? Or it's always going to just be for those proprietary ssds?

Get a PS5, problem solved. you can play games on external sdd no problems attached

You cannot store or play PS5 games from an external drive. At least with the Series X/S consoles, you can store the Series X/S games to external drives. You just have to move them to internal storage to play them. You can play PS4 games from an external drive hooked up to a PS5 though, just like you can play Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games from an external drive connected to a Series X/S.

So the external seagate ssd for xbox is usb3.0 with 500mbps read and write speed right? I have two of them and i see alot of people saying "its because the external ssds are too slow to play games on,you can only play series x or enhanced one x games on internal or the seagate expansion ssd card" but alot of external ssds are fast enough? No?
