Xbox series s/x expansion ssd missing 60 gigabyte??

Based on how the space is calculated for storage devices, they actually come with less than what is shown to begin with. Then with any system files that are added in order for it to work with the console, that eats up more of the space.

Xbox Series X|S games can not be run from USB storage devices. These drives are too slow for Series X|S games, regardless of them being on Game Pass or not.

Series X|S games can only be played on either the Internal SSD, a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S or the WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox

Hi,

There are two drives, with some different capacity options

Seagate Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card

Western Digital WD_BLACK C50 Xbox Series X|S Expansion card

Are you using a Series S/X?

Series S/X optimized games can only run from the internal SSD or an expansion card made specifically for the Series S/X.

If he has a Series S/X and is trying to play a Series S/X optimized game, it will only run on the internal drive or on an expansion card made for the Series S/X. It won't run on a regular external hard drive or SSD.
