Do you also know this moment? You are totally hyped about a new game. You just want to play it,
press download and then that. Your Xbox's memory is
full again. No! But wait, what if I told you that you
can just plug this little card into your Xbox and you'll have up to
1 terabyte more storage space? This is the smartest solution
to expand your storage. There are of course other
possibilities, but more on that later. The WD Black 50 C is my favorite
because there is an extension slot on the back of every Xbox Series S or X where you can easily insert the card
. It offers you 512 gigabytes or
1 terabyte of additional storage, comparable to the Xbox's internal storage
.
This means you can launch and enjoy your Xbox Series X or S
games directly from the card without
having to move them to the internal SSD first, as it is integrated directly into the Xbox
Velocity Architecture. This means it can process huge amounts of data
quickly,
virtually eliminating loading time on the console. And that brings me to the absolute
pros of the WD Black 50 C. It is seamlessly integrated into the Xbox Velocity Architecture
and is therefore just as fast as the internal storage. You can plug in or unplug at any time,
even while the device is in use.
You can store and play games
optimized for Xbox Series X or S on this storage
expansion. Quick Resume, which allows you to seamlessly switch
between games without having to restart them,
is also supported. But as I said before,
there are other possibilities. Of course, I once again
got incredible support for this. Wait, wait, wait. Hi Laura! So Andy, I have already explained the
best option for memory expansion .
Now you can get out there. What are the alternatives anyway? There are two ways you
can expand your storage. Either with an external SSD or an external HDD,
such as the WD P10.
The advantage of an HDD is that it is available in very large capacities
for little money. The disadvantage, however, is
that they are a bit slower. They are therefore suitable
for saving and storing games so that you do not have to constantly reinstall them
, because this can
simply take time depending on your internet connection. But you can. You mentioned the Velocity
Architecture, but you can't start it from there
. And you have to keep two things in mind. An external hard drive that you
may already have at home will be formatted by the Xbox when it is plugged in
. This means that it can only be used on the Xbox
. Two more things. If you want to run games from this external storage
, such as Xbox Classic Games, then SSD storage is
of course faster than HDD storage.
So that's actually
all you have to consider. What should I choose now? SSD or HDD? It depends on your budget
and your patience with copying. The external HDD drive offers large
capacities at affordable prices, but copying processes from the hard drives take
significantly longer than with SSD drives. And you, Laura, just said it. The best option is the storage
expansions like the WD Black 50 C. There is one last way
to increase the storage of your Xbox Series X or S, but honestly,
I absolutely advise against it. Replacing the internal SSD. Unfortunately, you have to disassemble your entire
Xbox to do this. This is extremely complicated
and of course you will lose all
warranty claims on your console.
So absolutely abort! So to summarize again:
The most convenient solution for more memory is
the memory expansion card. They are ready to use and just as fast as the internal storage of
your Xbox Series X or S. External SSD or HDD
drives are a good choice if you have a particularly
large game collection that you don't want to download every time you play
. They offer high storage capacities
at an affordable price. But games optimized for Xbox
Series X and S cannot be launched from there. Alright folks, we've reached the end of the video
and I think Andy and I are still fighting
over who gets what. But you can write in the comments
what you would choose. Of course, we would
also be happy about a like or even a subscription and we look forward
to seeing you in the next video and say goodbye!
