  1. Xbox series x does not boot correctly with external hdd


    Hi.

    So I've noticed since the most recent system update that if I have an external hdd connected, the series x does not reboot properly. Either screen stays black and i push the power button down to reset or it starts up but will not connect to xbox live at
    all. Again hard reset gets it to go correctly but will experience the same problems when i restart console or turn on after it's been off awhile. For now, the issue seems to abate if the drive is not plugged in at all after a hard reset... Just a Seagate external
    drive with mp4's...

    What is the problem? The easy fix seems to be just not connecting it at all. But why the issue in first place?

    :)

    Missing Xbox gold game

    Do you use an external HDD? I'm sure most do. I have a 4TB external as my main HDD with every Forza on it including 5. When you get Series X, it's as simple as unplugging the HDD and plugging it into the USB on the Series X. Done. All games will be playable
    and benefit from some enhancements. (still need to see more info on this, exciting nonetheless)

    Storage device, Series X/S

    external hdd's are not fast enough for the new series s/x optimised games and therefore have to run off the internal ssd or the new expansion cards, all xbox one games and 360 BC games can run off your external hdd.

    What do I do if my Xbox won’t let me have no more then 4. Games and I have a external storage but it keeps making me move all my games

    series s and x games can only run from the internal storage or official (rip off) expansion card. only xbox one and 360 bc games can run off the external hdd.
    So I cannot download GTA Xbox series s/x edition on my external hardware?

    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
