    This is less expensive than the existing plug-in expandable 1 tb dongle. Is this only to store the hand or can you also play from it?

    The only expandable storage you can play from is using the storage expansion card. USB drives are only usable for storage.

    Thanks.
    Any reason to prefer it over any USB 3.1+ external SSDs? They're less expensive than this.

    Feels like aggressively misleading marketing to sell a "Game Drive for Xbox" that can't be used to play new xbox games.

    You can play games off the external drives, they just don’t get all the fast loading and stuff, but at least on my Xbox, I have a ton of games that are not updated for series x and those play just like normal off a usb ssd.

    It’s the fast start and quick swap and alll that that don’t work on a usb drive.

    Again, that's only xbox one games. Series X games cannot be loaded off of a HDD or anything but the interal storage or memory card.

    Correct.

    Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X Enhanced titles will run on this just fine.

    Some series X games will run fine off external storage, depending on the developer and game. I.E Sea of Thieves runs fine off my external HDD despite being "Series X Enhanced".
  • TheinsanegamerN - Thursday, October 21, 2021 - link

    That's a xbox one game with enhancements, not a series X game.

    No series X game will run on external drives, per microsoft themselves.

    This is completely false. You can play games via it, even newer series x titles run fine. Eventually a game will come out that requires use of the fast internal ssd, but currently none exist.

    Can you give an example of a game that is ground-up for the Series X? I know you can play "Series X Enhanced" versions of Xbox One X titles. But from what I've heard if it's a true Series X title, it won't install and run off a USB drive.
  • TheinsanegamerN - Thursday, October 21, 2021 - link

    Show me one series x native game that runs on external drives.

    170 for a 1tb gen 1, but it's 'gamer'

    Sadly it is only 1/3 gamer, as it only seems to have G and lacks the R and the B for true gamer RGB...

    It would only cost about $30 more to build your own with a 2TB drive. I did this with a Samsung 870 QVO and an Orico enclosure last year. Just make sure the enclosure has UASP support.
  • Jorgp2 - Monday, October 11, 2021 - link

    Those QVO drives can literally be slower than hard drives, they also can't handle lots of use.

    Neither of those problems are likely to have too much of an effect on a drive where installation speeds will be limited by your broadband and unlikely to saturate the SLC cache, and after which the vast majority of activity will be reads.
