Xbox Series X External Harddrive Usage and the Auto upgrade system

So I was lucky enough to bag a series x here in the uk last weekend, and as my 5tb harddrive is almost full of all my xbox one and back-compat games, i got another 5tb hardrive to at least sort me out for the next couple of years worth of games storage, (as game sizes will only get bigger and no one likes redownloading games all the time). Now im aware of the fact that the internal SSD will offer fasterload times, as thats the hardware limitation of a HDD, but as the xbox one x shown, the hardware of the console itself will still give faster load times regardless of if it still runs on a HDD. So i had planned on leaving the internal free for lateron in the generation when loadtimes may start to drag on abit. My first game i replayed was Dishonored death of the outsider, which looked great with the auto HDR and the game did have improved load times from what i could gather ( as all load time comparisons before launch on youtube, always compared using the internal SSD, which was an unfair test in my opinion. no one done a test with an external it seemed).

But anyway, when i had downloaded the Upgrades for some of the games on the series X, i realised that the save location was on the internal, instead of the set secondary HDD. This baffled me and looking online it turned out that all next gen games cant run on a HDD. Like What the hell! Why is that a thing. Furthermore games that have been given the upgrade, has to be the version you play on the series X. So even though i have Hitman 3 for instance, already on my HDD that played in 4k on my xbox one X wont play on my series X, as i have to have the upgraded version on the internal. meaning that before i even have any true new games, ive got a console that only has 500GB of free storage! Furthermore the internal 1TB SSD (which is nowhere near enough) is over double the price of a 1tb harddrive for your computer.

So i now find myself not wanting the developers releasing Upgraded versions of their games as its just taking away little space thats already practically non existent on the storage. Why the hell cant i just choose to play the last gen versions on the xbox, they are already on my HDD anyway, and with the one x already being in 4k im not really gaining much anyway apart from framerate. But as a mostly single player gamer, competitive framerate is lost on me. As long as the game is a stable framerate ill pick visual fidelity every time. And as currently the only game coming out is the mass effect trilogy, which is still on 4K on the xbox one X anyway, im wondering why ive brought a Series X at all yet. Should have just waited a year or so and got it abit cheaper..

Im proper annoyed, like why is it like this! Surly im not the only one mad about this, but then again most players havnt been able to get one yet, but when they do i think people would find these problems quite annoying!

Microsoft havnt been this dirty since the time when they sold and additional wireless adapter for the xbox 360.
