Non-Proprietary Storage Solution > Other (Xbox unveils new storage sizes)

[MeachTheMonster]

You talking like Trump after he suggested people inject poisonous chemicals to kill COVID. Let me guess you was just processing the information out loud like he was.

Compare hooking an SSD up to injecting bleach brehs

Again it’s just a possible workaround. People use all types of different 3rd party accessories/devices with their consoles.

you're missing the point that he's talking about an adapter that would let the Xbox use an 'off the shelf' M.2 drive

you plug in the adapter, plug in the M.2 drive, and your done. no need to remove the side plates (and I believe someone on here said they slightly broke the plates doing this), and use a screwdriver

This isn't true

First the dude who did it said he used the same memory as what's used in the Xbox. And the adapter only supports gen 3 speeds while the Xbox is supposed to be using gen 4 speeds.

So basically they don't know if this solution works with any ssd and even if it does, you're creating a bottleneck that could affect the performance of games. Not to mention possibly bricking your system.

It isn't even worthy of being cited. The conversation is about actual stuff the end user can use and you talking about some guy that took a drive from another Xbox Series console and attached it to an external adapter while at the same time trying to talk up the complexity of popping off a face plate and using a screwdriver.

The Microsoft solution is already at a disadvantage because it's expensive in comparison. Every advantage it has doesn't compare to the price disadvantage.

it’s just an option breh. Calm down

It’s great that you have an opinion

I still like the Xbox solution better. Especially because it's hot swappable. The PlayStation solution is much cheaper especially around 1TB.

The cloud will offset any performance bottlenecks. No Quavo.

I like a Bentley better than my Honda. I'm still driving a Honda. If the prices were equal I wouldn't be.

are you stupid? that's BEEN one of the biggest reasons why cloud gaming isnt practical right now. that and unreliable streaming options.

you're delusional if you're gonna pretend this is the first time that's ever been mentioned. you and meach are bred from the same idiot cloth

I never heard of Sony stans worrying about this when remote play was dangled like it was a real thing as for datacaps in streaming games then how come I do it now problem with fukkin T-Mobile. No, I don't have magenta+. I got a 1.75tb limit on my data and I cut the cord so to speak 5yrs ago, 2 tvs running data 24/7 pretty much, bunch of cellphones, tablets, smart TVs, lights/etc and never once had a data issue.

I get it, some people only have cricket wireless at home, v what about them????

Tell them to get a PS5 then because y'all only get 2 games a year anyway

Spoiler

that doesnt mean it's a good thing to do you stupid bytch nor does everyone have access to unlimited data plans and/or the money to pay for them. Even with a gig connection, you'd be burning thru data streaming games in America.
you niccas is dumb. ppl all over the world dont even have internet capable of doing that

I hear you, I also heard the streets here are paved with gold
Internet Speeds By Country 2021

Countries with faster internet than us...

United Arab Emirates
South Korea
Qatar
Norway
Kuwait (the place we bombed into the stone age you'd think)
China
Saudi Arabia
Cyprus
Bulgaria
Switzerland

I guess not all over the world except you was saying? But again, we're not the minimum And Xbox streaming uses 3gb an hour.

An Xbox ain’t as open or modular as a PC. Especially one ur building urself. Meaning doing certain things with the Xbox that isn’t officially supported and something goes wrong u can potentially void ur warranty. It hasn’t been extensively tested to the point it’s a viable solution. It’s basically a “use at your own risk” solution. If u call Microsoft up right now and explain that ur doing this. You know what they will say. Lol.

You brought in a bubblegum,rubber band, and toothpick solution into this thread to defend Xbox’s honor. Turns up Snoh Aalegra’s “ugh those feels again”.

Sony stans

PCs are designed to work with off the shelf components. This is a proprietary game console not specifically designed to work with off the shelf components that the manufacturer doesn't specify. They used to sell "cooling fans" that "worked" with an Xbox 360 and come to find out they caused the console to overheat. They used to sell Switch docks that worked with the Nintendo Switch, come to find out they burned out the console.

Just because something is possible to do doesn't make it a good idea to do. So if Microsoft doesn't suggest it's an acceptable idea to plug up some adapter to your console and use it in a way they didn't account for in their design and never intended then no that's not a disingenuous argument in the least.

Sony designed the PS5 to take internal drives and they give you guidelines and say have at it staying inside those. Do you know the power draw of that adapter and it's effects on that port and the system? What about the draw of a drive not designed to work with an Xbox coupled with that adapter?

No you're just running your mouth on an argument you clearly lost a while ago because it's all you got and even now you won't admit you're wrong but you never do anyway so it's to be expected.

Sony didn't design nothing, it's storage bruh

This isn't true

First the dude who did it said he used the same memory as what's used in the Xbox. And the adapter only supports gen 3 speeds while the Xbox is supposed to be using gen 4 speeds.

So basically they don't know if this solution works with any ssd and even if it does, you're creating a bottleneck that could affect the performance of games. Not to mention possibly bricking your system.

Anybody sitting around fronting like if the Xbox would have also taken off the shelf NVME drives and they wanted to expand the storage with the options at $399.99 for 2TBs on an external card and $339.99 for 2TBs on the NVME drive is a damn lie that they gonna buy that $399.99 card over the drive. Hell you could get that drive and a game to go with it and that's even buying a $10 heat sink too.

It is what it is. They both came out and there was a level of price equality and the Xbox's solution was better. Now that the Sony solution is on average close to $50 cheaper for the same storage it's the better value. The price is highly likely to continue to fall while the Xbox solution's price isn't likely to budge.

I think people are also missing the fact that the series x is using gen 3 cards which are like 250 for 2tb

If microsoft had went with non-propriety solution their SSD expansions would have been 100+ dollars cheaper than Sonys that require gen 4

The price for the Xbox solution will also fall. And there will be more players once the Seagate deal expires.
