Memory Expansion:

Room for play
The Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X | S delivers an additional 1TB of external memory while maintaining the same peak speed and performance of the console's internal SSD for a streamlined gaming experience. The 1TB of extra storage means you’ll have ample space to grow your games library. Easily plug in and play, or remove the card and take your games with you. If you’re looking to add extra storage to your console, this is the card that will enable you to achieve the same performance as the Xbox Velocity Architecture when playing games that have been Optimized for Xbox Ser

  • Of course 64 GB didn't work Microsoft says on their own website that expandable storage has to be at least 128 GB
  • @longstrike7795
    Also the reason why this took so long to work is because your Xbox is looking for a certain baud rate if your drive does not communicate the data fast enough your Xbox will assume that it has a weak connection to the storage device and I think you're right the drive itself is fast enough but the adapter itself cannot interpret the data efficiently
  • It's probably a good guess that it's the adapter but it's still early on so I'm sure in the future there will be functional models. Probably not on wish though.
  • @SKINNY_HUMAN
    I went into my local electronic store. Asked him about a 2tb ssd Seagate. He replied "$720"😳😳😳 thank you for your time sir. I'm going home now
  • @kenshiroson4893
    Very cool video, keep trying storage hacks. Frigging fascinating 👏
  • The error could be a red herring. Try messing with the cluster size when formatting. This has been an issue in other systems because they had a very specific cluster size. Sounds weird but it has helped in the past. Depending on your skill level, reflowing any soldered parts in the adapter is never a bad idea either.
  • @tatorsalad150
    you can still use the new ssd with the usb adapter and just plug it in the xbox usb port. It will work like an external drive for the older games but faster cause its ssd.
  • @Mark-mu4pj
    I got my 1tb expansion card for £150 from CEX store, kept my internal memory free (all on exp card) and also have an external SSD for games that aren't S/X compatible, MS must have locked out everything else except Seagate from the internal memory/system and the card, makes sense why your one didn't work, because the card has to sync to the XB, would have been a great option tho.
  • The adapter for psvita isn't for their proprietary memory card, it's called SD2VITA and its for modded vita's only, it actually goes into the game card slot and you can use it alongside a vita memory card My personal slim vita has a 128gb micro SD inside an SD2VITA adapter alongside a 32gb vita memory card
  • @jtcattanio
    Love your vids man, dor real i do. But maybe get an over head cam for stuff like this.. im hands on learning.. an that would help me alot idk about everyone else.. but i think it be worth it specially with projects like this.
  • @Mobuislorecast
    I still think they should have made at least to ports for the expansion card
  • One thing I reeeeally like about the ps5 is the super easy way to use a m.2 ssd for storage, just pop the cover off and put it in
  • @rsolsjo
    You just demonstrated exactly WHY I usually end up buying the official stuff anyway. 😂 "We only had to buy these five things, put them together in exactly the right order, format it, plug it in three times, still didn't really work, we got errors, could potentially be harmful.." Stop. Just stop. I'll pay the crazy high price, just give me an item that works that I can plug in immediately. 😂
  • I had the same weak connection with an actual sea gate 2Tb right out of the box unplugged it and plugged it back in and it’s worked fine since…
  • @snakes200
    Well it is looking like Western Digital is now going to start making storage expansions drives for the Series X and S. Which should force seagate to drop the price on their drives. Hope this is the case even though I already have a 2TB external expansions drive for my Series X.
  • @JCrypDoe
    I just use an external SSD and just move back and forth. Transfer super fast 2Gb per second. So 100 GB moved in 5 min
  • I bought a western digital 5tb external on eBay for 70 bucks and it works flawlessly
  • @pphaell
    From what I saw, Xbox needs a drive with PCIe Gen4 to work as intended. I saw on the beggining of the video that you are using a WD Blue PC SN520, and the PC SN520 is Gen3. In theory, if you look for the CH SN530 should work as the original Seagate card.
  • @AMCKEEL1
    Just spend 60 on 2 tb on Amazon for an external. Works perfectly. You may have to move a game here an there between ‘‘em but it literally take 5 minutes for or Valhalla.
