QUICK RESUME: Quickly switch between multiple titles—directly from the internal SSD or an expansion card—in a matter of seconds.

Questions & Answers

Get hot?

No, not at all. It warms up, but not to the point of being uncomfortable.

How many games can you download with the Seagate storage expansion card? 50 games, 100 games, or 3020 games? How many games do you have on your Xbox X?

I have an S, I downloaded two games, and now I'm down to 20%. The files for this generation's console games, like those for the previous one, are not as optimized as those for the PS3 or Xbox 360. Even the graphics don't represent a huge leap forward. But, returning to storage, with half AAA and the rest indie, AAA should be around 80GB and indie around 20GB, and a 1TB hard drive should hold 20 to 30 games.

Is it necessary for the Xbox One X to have this?

For the single X, it will not work. The expansion card is exclusive to the Xbox 360 series.

Is this optional, in the sense that I can buy and plug in my own external drives to increase storage, or is this the only way to increase storage on the new Xbox?

I recently purchased an external hard drive, which functions perfectly, but it appears that games designed for the series X/S must be installed on internal storage. I saved the internal space for X/S games by putting all of my old games on an external drive.

Selected User Reviews For Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S 1TB Solid State Drive - NVMe Expansion SSD for Xbox Series X|S (STJR1000400)

Read this first if you own an Xbox series x/s: Anyone looking to buy an item for an Xbox series x/s should get a 1TB hard drive to play games on, not a 2TB, 3TB, or 4TB hard drive
5/5

It can only be used to store games; it cannot be used to play them. People who have given it one star have stated that they are unable to play games on it. This is due to the fact that they exceeded 1 tb.

On the Series X, it's pricey, but it works and has a 920 GB usable capacity
4/5

Like:br>The only (currently available) storage officially matched to the new Xbox Series X | S. It appears to work in tandem with the native architecture of the Series X - There are no discernible issues with speed, quality, or other aspects of the product. It comes in good packaging and is ready to use. br>br>Dislike:br>Despite being advertised as having 1 TB of storage capacity, when installed for the Xbox Series X, the actual available storage shows "919. 9 of 920 GB" storage (nothing is stored on it) 1. **
br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br Just keep in mind that this storage expansion card "only" adds 920 GB of actual storage capacity to your Xbox Series X (not a full TB).
2. Yes, the price is exorbitant; however, So, if you don't need the extra storage right now, wait for the price to drop (which will take a long time). Most people only play a few games at a time, so only install what you're (really) interested in. So, if that's the case, storage expansion should be postponed.
3. However, if you want a lot of games "ready to play" in all their glory and speed on your new console, this card is a good choice.

It works
4/5

I'm not sure what to say. It's a storage upgrade for the Xbox X or S series. It works. Just make sure you push it in far enough to make it click into place when you plug it in. Otherwise, the console will not recognize it. My only real gripe is that I wish there was a 2-terabyte version available. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> It's not clear why, but 80 gigabytes are missing. Because it's only an expansion, it should be closer to a full terabyte. I'm a little let down.

It will be well worth your time and effort
5/5

I bought a new Xbox One S. I was genuinely perplexed as to why I should spend nearly two-thirds the price of my console on a storage solution. After doing a lot of research on external SSDs, I came to a realization. While those external solutions were less expensive, they were nearly as expensive as the Seagate 1TB card, and I'd be missing out on the most important feature. I'm getting the same performance out of my external storage as I am from my internal SSD. Advantages: br>br> Storage that is future-proof and allows you to play in the best possible way Titles that are exclusive to a series br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. The storage capacity is only 920GB, not 1TB. I'm not sure why storage manufacturers are allowed to do this. br>br>However, I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it. Make a connection hot-to-trot interchangeable With so many NVME SSD options available, PS5 owners will have a difficult time upgrading their storage. It's a wrap for who's won the so-called "internal SSD race" as soon as Microsoft either has other storage manufacturers enter the fray, lowering the price of this card, or better yet, produces even larger solutions with the same available speeds as the internal SSD. Console wars is a term used to describe the competition between consoles.

It's a cinch to add 1TB of storage to your Xbox Series X or S at the same time as the internal memory
5/5

Installation is incredibly simple - Simply remove the cover protector and insert the card into the expansion slot. It took approximately 2 minutes to open and install the package - I've increased the storage on my Xbox Series S from 512GB to 1TB, giving me all the space I'll ever need. And, because it's the Series X|S's official expansion slot, Unlike connecting a less expensive USB 3. 0 drive, you can make it your primary storage device in the settings menu without sacrificing performance. Don't worry about the lack of a hard drive; trust me, you'll be fine. It was a cinch to use. My new console has exceeded my expectations, and it performs flawlessly. In a matter of seconds, you can have it up and running.

Setup Is Quick But Weird
4/5

From the time I bought my Xbox Series X until now, I've wanted this. 1 terabyte isn't nearly enough storage, and this extra terabyte doesn't even come close to satisfying my need for more. Because games are becoming increasingly large, I may need to add USB storage in the future. br>br>This device is extremely fast, with significantly shorter load times. However, the setup is strange; the instructions are in the form of a simple graphical sheet that appears to indicate that you simply plug it in, so I did what most people would do and turned off my unit before plugging this in. After turning it on, I had no trouble transferring some of my games and apps from the internal drive to this. However, when I tried to play a game or launch an app that I had transferred to the Seagate, I received an error message stating that it would not run. After doing some research online, I discovered that leaving the power on while plugging in the device was recommended, so I turned off the Xbox, removed the Seagate, turned it back on, crossed my fingers, and plugged in the Seagate. br>br>Everything was fine, and it hasn't stopped working since.

This is a must-have accessory for the Xbox Series S model
4/5

If you own an Xbox Series S and want more storage space for future games, this is a must-have. Some games are estimated to be between 20GB and 40GB in size, depending on the content. For Xbox 360 games, I've seen as little as 7GB now. I'm not sure why I didn't give it a five-star rating. The hard drive is way too expensive for what it is and can do. Almost anywhere sells a 1TB Solid State Drive for $100. Microsoft overcharges customers by $100 on purpose. Unless it was for a 2TB or higher SSD, I wouldn't pay $200 for one. There have been no lag issues. Super fast speeds from hard drive to expansion hard. Only time will tell how well it holds up.

In 3 hours, I was able to place an order and have it delivered! In my grief, I was up at 3 a
5/5

m. gaming and became frustrated that I needed to transfer and uninstall games to free up space on my Series S. So, around 3 a. m. , I gave in and ordered the expansion, and a few minutes later, around 7 a. m. , I received a message stating that my order had been delivered. I've never done anything like that, lol. Apart from that, I required the extra room. Games were transferred extremely quickly, sometimes in under a minute. I didn't want to pay that much, but considering how difficult it was to get my hands on the X, the amount of space you get on a Series S was well worth it. For the time being, I've given up on it. Thank you, Amazon, for delivering such a high-priced item so quickly.
