  1. Will my 8 terabyte external hard drive be compatible with an Xbox S or an Xbox x


    Thank you I am getting ready to buy an Xbox x or an Xbox S, the main decision-making process is based on the fact that my Xbox One is connected to my Seagate 8 terabyte hard drive I need to know if the next gen consoles will be compatible with my hard drive as I have over 500 games on that hard drive

    :)

    Will my 8 terabyte external hard drive be compatible with an Xbox S or an Xbox x

    The hard drives will work, but games that have been optimized for the Series S/X will not run from it. It can still store them, but to run the games the game would have to be moved to the internal hard drive or you would need the Seagate expansion card.

    Why can’t I move my non x/s game on to my added on hard drive?

    Can I watch movies from my external hard drive?

    I have a terabyte external hard drive that plays through my xbox 360, so they are not correct.

    The new expansion card for Xbox Series X

    Hi,

    Current external hard drives are USB 3.0 5,400 RPM mechanical hard drives. These drives are very slow compared to the Expansion card. You won't be able to run Series X/S games from current external hard drives, not even the 2.5" external SSD drives either.
    But, you will be able to archive your Series X/S games to these drives to save downloading again.

    The expansion card can run all compatible Xbox games. Which will be Series X/S, Xbox One and the BC Xbox 360 and original Xbox games on the BC list.

    Xbox One and other Backwards compatible games will load a lot faster on either the internal storage or the expansion card than they would if you ran them off your external hard drive.

    Microsoft has a video on YouTube showing 'The Outer Worlds' loading in just 11 seconds on a Series X/S SSD, compared to nearly 60 seconds on Xbox One.
