Seagate 4TB Portable Hard Drive Hits $0.02 per GB, the Cheapest Way to Expand Xbox or PlayStation Storage Yet - Kotaku
"This Seagate external hard drive is compatible not just with PCs but also with your Xbox or PlayStation console. The Xbox Series X has an internal SSD with a capacity of only 1TB, while the Xbox Series S has even less with just 512GB. The PlayStation 5 base console is working with 1TB. And keep in mind that these numbers are the total capacity."
"Now there is a catch. While you can download and store your games onto the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, you can't actually play them from it. Current gen games require super fast load time with specific hardware that enables certain functionality like Xbox's Quick Resume feature. So when it comes time to want to play you game, you have to transfer the file from the drive to the console."
A 4TB Seagate portable external hard drive is available for $100 after a 20% discount from $125. The drive works with PCs as well as Xbox and PlayStation consoles, adding significant extra storage beyond console internal SSDs (Xbox Series X 1TB, Series S 512GB, PS5 1TB). Console system software reduces usable game storage. Large AAA games can reach 100–200+ GB and quickly fill internal space. Current-generation games cannot be run directly from the external HDD because they require faster internal storage and hardware features like Quick Resume. Transferring files from the drive is much faster than redownloading.
