Product Information

We run two sets of tests when we’re looking at external hard drives for the Xbox One or One X. First, we connect them to a PC and run the CrystalDiskMark benchmark to test their raw sequential and random read/write speeds. Sequential speeds are an indication of how fast the drive can read or write large quantities of data in one sustained burst, which makes a big difference when you’re first running a game, loading a saved game, streaming in all the models and textures in a level, or transferring a game from one drive to another. Random read/write speeds cover smaller data transfers, and make an impact when you’re running a game directly from the hard drive. Schließt man die Festplatte direkt über USB 3.x an einem PC/Laptop an, hat sie für eine magnetische einen guten Durchsatz siehe CrystalDiskMark von über 250 MB/s sequentiell. In der Praxis kopiert sie kleinere Dateien z.B. MP3-Dateien mit um die 200MB/s. Ein guter Durchsatz. After reformatting, I added it to the hub. Fire OS saw the drive, I then formatted it for device storage. When done I installed a couple of apps on it, including Kodi. You’re after more space: As it can’t run Xbox Series X|S games natively, you may want to opt for a HDD for more storage space overall.

Interface type: The Xbox One series of consoles supports up to two external hard drives, connected via a USB 3 cable. This is important: the Xbox One doesn’t support newer USB 3.1 gen 2, or indeed USB-C or other miniaturised versions of the USB connector (miniUSB or microUSB). Fortunately, most modern external hard drives have a USB 3 cable, so you won’t need to worry too much about this. He tenido la oportunidad de usar la Unidad de Disco Duro Externo Seagate de 8 TB y aquí comparto mis impresiones sobre este dispositivo de almacenamiento confiable y de gran capacidad: We run two sets of tests when we’re looking at external hard drives for the Xbox Series S and Series X. First, we connect them to a PC and run the CrystalDiskMark benchmark to test their raw sequential and random read/write speeds. Sequential speeds are an indication of how fast the drive can read or write large quantities of data in one sustained burst, which makes a big difference when you’re first running a game, loading a saved game, streaming in all the models and textures in a level, or transferring a game from one drive to another. Random read/write speeds cover smaller data transfers, and make an impact when you’re running a game directly from the hard drive. Because of the design, it's a perfect replica of the Xbox Series X|S internal SSD, reaching speeds of 2.4GB/s (raw) data that enable games designed around the technology to load exponentially faster than was ever possible before. After thorough testing, we've found that there is absolutely no difference between having a game installed on your internal Xbox SSD or on the Seagate Expansion Card, so you get the same great performance either way. After unplugging the drive from the hub and rebooting, everything started working normally. I found that if I reconnected the drive it would work for a few minutes & then everything would flake out again.You won’t actually notice much difference in terms of general gameplay, so the main advantage of an SSD is the significant reductions in your loading times. Here, much depends on the individual game. Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn’t really load any faster with an SSD than it does with an external HDD, but when loading saved games it’s a different story. While you could be looking at a nearly two minute (133 second) wait on Xbox One X with an external HDD, that drops to just 71 seconds with an SSD.

You’re on a budget: You might want to look elsewhere if you were hoping to spend less overall on an external SSD. Amplio espacio de almacenamiento: La capacidad de 8 TB es simplemente asombrosa. Esta unidad de disco duro ofrece un vasto espacio para almacenar una cantidad considerable de datos, incluyendo películas, fotos, música y archivos de trabajo, lo que la convierte en una excelente opción para usuarios con altas demandas de almacenamiento. However, previous-gen Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles can be run from these drives with a slight bump in load times, though. Read on, then, to learn more about the best Xbox Series X hard drives and SSDs to help boost storage and performance for your console. Although Toshiba sells a gaming-specific version of its Canvio external HDD, the Canvio Flex is the current king when it comes to price, performance and value. It’s cheaper than most competitors, yet also one of the fastest portable HDDs we’ve tested. Our PC benchmarks place its sequential read/write speeds over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A connection at 151.5MB/sec and 158.9MB/sec. When it comes to loading saved games on the Xbox One, it’s a second or two faster than the Seagate Expansion Portable and only just behind the Seagate Firecuda HDD in most of our test titles. It’s a great drive for hosting your Games Pass favourites if you don’t want to splash a lot of cash. You can also get 2TB and 4TB versions. I did ding it once star due to the noise, I wasn't expecting that & really don't want to put up with it in my den while watching shows anyway.

Velocidades de transferencia decentes: La conexión USB 3.0 permite velocidades de transferencia bastante rápidas en comparación con las unidades más antiguas. Esto es especialmente útil cuando se trata de mover grandes archivos de manera eficiente. Tamaño y portabilidad: Dado que se trata de una unidad de disco duro de 3,5 pulgadas, es más grande y menos portátil en comparación con las unidades de 2,5 pulgadas. Esto puede limitar su conveniencia para llevarla contigo en movimiento. Die Leistung der Festplatte ist solide und zuverlässig. Sie ermöglicht schnelle Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten und ich konnte problemlos große Dateien kopieren und sichern. Die Plug-and-Play-Funktion funktioniert reibungslos und die Festplatte wird ohne Probleme von meinem Computer erkannt. Ich hatte keine Schwierigkeiten mit Datenverlust oder Verzögerungen während der Nutzung.

You’re after something cheaper: There’s no denying that the Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card is a pretty huge investment, potentially turning off buyers on a budget. Instalación simple: Configurar la unidad es bastante sencillo. Simplemente conecta el cable USB y estarás listo para comenzar. No se requieren controladores complicados ni configuraciones tediosas. At the launch of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Designed for Xbox announced the close collaboration with Seagate to expand next-gen storage with the 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card. Designed for Xbox has collaborated with Seagate once again, and we’re excited to announce 512GB and 2TB Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox Series X|S will be available soon in all Xbox markets. It's worth keeping in mind that older games do benefit from increased speeds, reducing load times, so there is some benefit to installing them on something faster than a mechanical hard drive like Seagate's model, which runs at up to 120MB/s. By contrast, the proprietary Xbox Series X|S storage runs at 2.4GB/s uncompressed, which is quite the gulf.Besides our top two choices, you’ll still be able to store your Xbox Series X|S games on all of our other options. The difference is that you won’t be able to run the games from them. The best external drives for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S 1. Toshiba Canvio Flex 2TB: Best value HDD for Xbox Series consoles The Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card is the first product that arises in conversations about the best Xbox Series X SSDs. Launching the same year as the console itself, it enjoyed a reputation as the be-all-end-all of storage expansion for Microsoft’s current-gen machine. That may not be as true now as it was before 2023, but it’s still a superb choice for gamers looking to greatly increase storage capacity. The final option to consider isn't an external hard drive. Rather, it's an external SSD. The Samsung T7 SSD series is an interesting balance that can help if you need speed while still trying to save some money, providing an overall great middle ground in almost every way. So, what if you're not looking to spend a ridiculous amount of money, but you still need a fair bit of extra storage? If you're looking to reduce your problems with storing older titles, this 4TB hard drive from WD will remove most of your woes.

A full install of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II with the Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale mode will take well over 100GB on the internal SSD. Ditto for Forza Horizon 5. Go for this year’s big exclusive, Starfield, and you’re looking at around 125GB. Sign up to Xbox Games Pass and make use of its extensive library, and you could see your available storage space reduced to zero before you know it.You can get a 1TB version here for a similar price to HDDs with equivalent capacities. The Crucial X6 is fantastic for storing and playing games and data, no matter the platform you're on. It may be pictured here next to a DualSense, but keep in mind that these drives work with any device so long as they're formatted correctly, and the Xbox One will do the heavy lifting with that in a flash. An added benefit, of course, is that the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is also extremely fast, and we were able to transfer the entire 104.6GB Red Dead Redemption 2 file in less than three minutes during our tests. If you’ve got the money, and you’re fast approaching the upper limits of your Xbox’s internal storage, then there’s simply no better external storage option at the moment. Xbox Game Pass has made it possible for Xbox gamers to have a library of games at their very fingertips. Between Game Pass and four generations of game compatibility on Xbox Series X|S, there are thousands of games to choose from and play. With so many games available, we want to ensure there are also options when it comes to storage capacity and support to expand next-gen storage. If you do decide to invest, you will be getting a speedy drive that’s a touch slower than the one installed in the console out of the box. It’s nonetheless still a fantastic option for extra storage, especially for all the Series X|S enhanced titles that regularly land on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
