"Luckily, their are external options. The Seagate Game Drive for Xbox comes with a crazy 5TB of storage to put all of your file size worries to bed. It normally goes for $150, but right now it's 13% off which brings the price down to just $130. You'll save a good $20 (which just so happens to be exactly enough to hop into Hollow Knight: Silksong)."
"Ok so here's the catch. This is an HDD, not an SSD. Hard disk drives are notably slower than solid state drives. So much so that the Seagate game drive is incapable of playing Xbox Series X|S games directly from it. You'll have to move the game file from the HDD to your Xbox's internal storage in order to play it-sort of the digital version of taking your game disc off the shelf and popping it into the console."
"Transferring the files can be much faster than redownloading from Microsoft's servers otherwise would be, especially if you live in an area with unreliable bandwidth. The good news is that if you're still playing a bunch of Xbox One, Xbox 360, or original Xbox titles, they can be loaded and played directly from the drive. The drive is also compatible with Xbox One and Xbox 360 directly if tho9se consoles still get regular action in your place."
Xbox Series X includes a 1TB internal SSD while Series S includes about 512GB, with system software reducing usable space. Triple-digit game file sizes make juggling multiple titles difficult without frequent deletions and redownloads. A 5TB Seagate Game Drive for Xbox offers large external storage and is currently discounted to $130 from $150. The Seagate unit is an HDD, which cannot host playable Xbox Series X|S game installs and requires transferring games to internal SSD for play. Transferring over USB can be faster than re-downloading, especially with poor internet. Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles can be played directly from the drive. The HDD is portable for moving games between consoles.
