Xbox Series S Fans speed slow?

Hi

As long as your console is in a well ventilated area you will not hear the internal fan spin. The Series S is designed to be an extremely quite console, playing games or not.

I have the same. I think it's just the fan going at a really slow speed.

Your download speed is also highly dependant on what speed you get from your ISP. How can MS improve download speeds, if your connections are slow. Do you even know what your speeds are?

I'm on 120Mb/s down 10Mb/s up. No slow downloads here. As for an HD iTunes movie, they are typically around 3GB, a typical Xbox One game is between 10 and 50GB.

Hi,

The port on the rear Series X and S console for the 1TB expansion card is a custom PCI Express 4.0 port. The expansion NVME SSD is capable of raw speeds of 2.4GB/s and faster when appropriate compression technology is used. This is considerably faster than the 500MB/s of a SATA to USB 3.1 SSD drive attached via USB

So, in answer to your question, no, they're not fast enough. Not only due to the lower speed, but also due to I/O overheads associated with the USB data transfer and the fact that these drives are not fast enough or compatible with newer data compression technique used for the Series X|S titles.

You can install regular un-optimised Xbox One games on an external SSD and benefit from the increased speed over slow mechanical hard drives, but you can't play Series X|S titles on them.
