Product Information

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. SSDs are typically much faster than HDDs, but that can mean they’ll typically be more expensive. SSDs typically also have smaller storage capacities overall, unless you choose to pay a princely sum for a larger capacity model. HDDs are much more space friendly, with some models offering up to 5TB or 8TB worth of space. They’re often cheaper, too, but perform slower on average than SSDs. Its USB-C port can be used on your devices as either a USB-A or USB-C connection and in our testing, we got the same speeds through either port so it shouldn't matter which you have free or available, or if you change the device it's used with during its lifetime. There's a small but clear LED indicator on one of the short ends which is always a help, but one small downside is that it does get a little warm when in use so it'll pay to keep that in mind when positioning it.

While 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, and there’s precious little in it between the Canvio Flex and Canvio Gaming when it comes to random read/write speeds. Plugged into the Xbox Series X, it’s very competitive with the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hard Drive, taking four seconds longer to load a saved game in Prey, but coming first by just under three seconds in Red Dead Redemption 2. You can also save a minute or so over slower drives when it comes to moving or copying installed games. Sure, it’s nowhere near as speedy as an SSD, but if you just want a drive for archiving Series S/X games and playing your old Xbox One favourites, this could be all you need. 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. 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.With a rating of 5,900 RPM, this massive external hard drive isn't branded in any special way, but it manages to stand out due to how large it is. Due to its size, this isn't a simple plug-and-play, as the drive needs its own power supply via an 18W adapter that's naturally included. Combining this with an expansion card that you can afford is most likely the best option in the long, as you get better performance for all of your games, not just mass storage. Naturally, price is going to be the limiting factor here. Diseño robusto: El diseño de la unidad es simple y funcional. Su construcción sólida y duradera es capaz de soportar el uso diario y el transporte ocasional sin problemas. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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.

Toshiba Canvio Flex 2TB: Best value HDD for Xbox Series consoles 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.Der Preis der Seagate Expansion 4TB ist zwar nicht wesentlich besser als bei Media Markt, aber dennoch angemessen für die gebotene Leistung und den verfügbaren Speicherplatz. Es ist wichtig zu bedenken, dass der Preis von externen Festplatten oft von verschiedenen Faktoren wie Nachfrage, Verfügbarkeit und Standort abhängig ist. Daher kann es vorkommen, dass der Preis bei Media Markt ähnlich ist. Dennoch finde ich den Preis für die gebotenen 4TB Speicherplatz immer noch akzeptabel. You’re on a budget: You might want to look elsewhere if you were hoping to spend less overall on an external SSD. How to choose the best external hard drive for your Xbox One What are the most important things to look for?
