  1. Xbox Series X confused by too many drives


    I noticed something weird today when I went to do a Game Pass quest for Fallout 76 and the Game Pass app wanted to install it. I was SURE I had it installed.

    Turns out I DID but the Xbox wasn't "seeing it"

    I have 4 storage devices:

    Internal Drive

    Seagate 1 TB Expansion Drive

    An external SSD

    An external HDD

    If I look at my game list and try to filter by storage location, the last drive doesn't appear in the drop down. And the Game Pass app, at least, doesn't "see" games that are installed on it.

    Admittedly I'm probably an edge case, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

    3.0 2Tb Seagate HDD comparability

    Hi,

    Your drive will work the same on Series X as it does on Xbox One and you won't need to format it.

    However, Series X games or Xbox One games with Series X enhancements will not run from that drive and will either need to be installed internally or to an external SSD designed for Series X/S.

    Your hard drive will be too slow for Series X games. They can be stored there, but not run from there.

    Slow Xbox one x (Not Series Console)

    Fyi series consoles are just xboxes series x or s

    Not xbox one series

    Just to reduce the confusion

    You gotta remember people mistake xbox one x for a series x when it comes to requirements for example flight simulator

    With xbox one games they don't have a listing for s or x they are all compatible

    Where series s or x just means digital or disk

    Disk games don't work with series s or one s digital edition

    Back to your problem.

    Are you using an external hdd ?

    Also when it slows down again is it because you are filling up your hdd?

    As space becomes less computers do slow down

    It would be better to get an external drive and put infrequent games on there so you don't too much things on your internal drive

    XBOX telling me I have an enforcement 6 days ago

    1 other question the XBOX series X internal hard drive 1TB can Microsoft allow you to upgrade to 2TB internal storage or say 3TB or 4TB as many new games uses nearly 100 GB each so if you have 10 games the harddrive easily fills up I feel Microsoft should of made the Xbox series X internal harddrive expandable so you can increase the internal storage space of the device please don't confuse with card slots on the back of the console for Seagate expansion drive

    Xbox one series x problem

    There is no xbox one series x

    The series consoles are a completely separate from.xbox one

    You just Confuse people by saying it

    Ita xbox series s /x thats it

    When talking about system requirements

    Xbox one games work with xbox one games there is no requires xbox one s or x

    It's just xbox one

    Now with series games physical games are only compatible with series x

    This does not include xbox one x or s

    Digital games are compatible with series s or x but must be stored on nvme storage card or internal drive

    Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion. Let me correct myself. This is a version for Xbox One too. However there's no version that can give you both games for Series S/X and Xbox One.
