Yes it does I have 2 64gb USB drives won't work either. You need 128gb and need the correct ssd to run new optimization to s or x series.

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

Very cool video, keep trying storage hacks. Frigging fascinating 👏

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.

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. 😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

that expandable storage does work. i have a sn530 1tb. and it only worked with that. o yeah, and you have to convert it to MRB before installing it on series S/X with no issue what so ever. i think maybe the problem could be the format or the storage size.

Do you have the links?

@XboxReady The SSD you are using is the PC sn530, its PCIe Gen3x4. The SSD in the xbox is the CH sn530, its PCIe Gen4x4 and it has a security layer, the reason you are getting the poor connection message is that the console cannot use the PCIe Gen4x4 protocol to communicate and has to revert to the slower gen 3 pci speeds which cannot support the DirectStorage APIs for Xbox Series X|S consoles.

sounds complicated but all I do is hook up an old 1 tera drive that was faulty and starting to fail on my computer to a usb hard drive docking station and boom more space.

That 512 seagate always goes on sale at Newegg for $120

I think it could be software based that the Seagate is hard coded into the OS hardware expansion slot. would need to rip the hidden files off the Seagate expansion card & clone over to a new m.2 drive with same requirements as the Seagate card to create a m.2 clone.

If you have storage issues this might help: i bought a 2tb card (ik expensive as hell but worth it) i put ONLY series x/s games on it and i have external sea gates for my xbox one and 360 games, so i have 3tb just for x/s games and i have 9 tb for everything else, and if i run outta internal storage (which will be hard cause i have like every game on game pass, plus more installed and still have storage) ill just put my most played x/s games internally stored and move my games when i wanna play which dont take long. I have two new 4 tb seagate external hard drives only for xbox one / extra x/s games and an old white seagate for all my old games for anyone wondering, it works well i dont have problems with storage anymore and i play alotta games, and yes every usb slot is being used lol Edit: i know theres bigger external xbox drives out there but i just got the two 4 tb drives cause it was just convenient for me at the time
