External HD for Xbox series S

[Mastergunner]

My internal HD on my xbox series s is literally full with just two games on there! i've looked at external HD but apparently only seagate ones allow direct gameplay from external HD. Is that correct? any other gamers on here? anybody know? Thanks in advance

I've literally just boxed mine up at the weekend ready for the move (hopefully!)

I have 2 external drives, and pretty sure that both are seagates. One is 1tb and the other is 2tb.

I may be wrong, but as far as I was aware you can use pretty much any type of drive so long as its formatted through the xbox once it's connected up. I think the last one I purchased was from Currys, but used the reviews from Argos as they were more informative (and more of them!)

Check the reviews and so long as someone says about console gaming, then it will be fine.

you can use external hard drives but as far as i am aware it does slow it down. The add on memory is costly but does not slow the xbox down. much better. my Son has the add on memory. We did try the external usb and was slower that was seagate.

much appreciated - I'll do some more investigation

Ah, sorry I misread your initial post and assumed it was an xbox one s, not a series s!!

Yeah ideally you need the extra memory which is quite a bit more expensive. The newer games will also eat into any extra hard drives as well pretty quickly.

Slightly of topic but still gaming lol,
I'm pretty sure you have seen the new gta 6 trailer, omg I think that game is going to be so realistic looking and very immersive,
Just gutted its gonna be 2025
