NGL, I’ve been waiting for this. Yeah, yeah, proprietary expansion, too expensive, but on the Xbox, you won’t (currently) do better.

    Weird, I have a regular old 2TB (or maybe it was 1?) western digital plugged into the USB on the back of my series x and it works fine, not sure I understand the need to spend a bunch on something like this. Edit: and before responding about speed… I haven’t noticed much, if any, difference in game performance from installing on the drive or external outside of the initial game loading (startup) time, so not sure if that’s the only benefit to using the expansion slot.

      USB drives are good for storage only, you can’t actually play the games from there. You have to move them to the SSD to play them.
