Hey guys, I currently am enjoying my shiny new Xbox Series X. I have my old 3,5" 4TB HDD hooked up for all the back compat games. But this thing is loud, it actually is louder than the Xbox Series X. So sooner or later I want to replace this HDD for a faster and quieter external SSD.
Any recommendations what to get? Are there even SSD’s this large?
Large and cheap. Not much benefit in going expensive. If you want fast, you can geht the Seagate expansion card.
I bought a WD My Passport Go Portable 500 GB SSD for 45€
If you need more space, got with the cheapest 2TB 2.5’ SATA SSD and just get an enclosure. Maybe get 2
Hey thanks for answering. I live in the US right now. Is SATA cheaper than the portable Samsung SSD’s? And what do you mean by enclosure? (Sorry english is not my native language)
Both have rubbish warranty terms when you factor in the “whichever expires first” clause, TBW or Years. At least the years expiring first won’t factor into how long the drives could last, while the TBW does.
In the US on Amazon the QVO is generally $70 cheaper for 15% savings. I could have picked up the higher end EVO for $70 more, but opted to put the money towards something else.
Sandisk Ultra 4TB: 600 TBW or limited 5-year manufacturer warranty
Samsung QVO 4TB: 1,440 TBW or limited 3-year manufacturer warranty
Samsung EVO 4TB: 2,400 TBW or limited 5-year manufacturer warranty
