Yes you will but as a reminder next gen delivery services will only be available to play on internal storage and the storage card
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the new expansion card has a separate place to plug in and next to that is a usb plugin that you can put your external hard drive just know that for series X/S not all games will be able to be played on external hard drive any games optimized for series X/S must use the normal storage or the expansion card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can use the 2TB external drive you have along with the 1TB seagate card to store games but if you want it to run the series x/s version of the game it needs to be on the internal memory or off the 1TB seagate card. I personally have an old 1TB external SSD I still use to store and play old games that aren’t enhanced for series x/s and have no issues. The 1TB seagate card has its own designated slot and doesn’t use the USB port as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes u can you'll be able to use many port it it's also just as fast as the box it self is
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you will be able to still use that hard drive. I am using the internal storage, I have the expansion card and an external hard drive. You will have the option to install games on whatever one you want. I change mine all the time. If I am downloading a game enhanced for the XorS, I will use internal storage first. All other games, I download to the external hard drive. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure if you'll be able to use both at the same time. But the card is superior in speed. What I've been doing is using my big USB drive to hold games, and transferring them either straight to the internal hard drive or this external card. The load times are ridiculous compared to a USB external drive and transferring doesn't take long at all. Use your USB drive for mass storage of games you don't want to download everytime you want to play them, and use this expensive small guy and your internal memory for games you actually play all the time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes because it does not use a USB port
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, but you should focus on using the external solely for Xbox one and earlier games and use ssd for series x/s games for better load times.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
