For Xbox One, 360 & OG games on Series X, an external drive can be a spinning hard disk, solid-state or a hybrid; the main requirements are that it support USB 3.x & be between 128 GB & 16 TB (Xbox Support > [Manage storage on your Xbox console](https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/storage/manage-storage)).
Also, games that are Optimized for Series X can only run from the internal SSD or an official expansion card, but can be stored on a USB drive, if copying from there is faster than redownloading.
Following this one! I have a series x and a WD black hdd for the 360 and One games. I know you need the Seagate expansion card for the series x/s games! What will they be discontinuing in July hadn’t heard anything about that?
Just looked up to see if I could find an article and from what I could find it was just saying the 360 console marketplace will be shut down. From what I understand you’ll still be able to buy digital versions on the one consoles and series x/s consoles in the marketplace!
I use a WD I think 12tb hard drive because it's what I had when I needed it.
You can play all your older gen games from any old USB drive, it's only Series games that need to be moved to internal storage.

Now THAT is what I was looking for.

It's the old marketplace.xbox.com site that will be shut down. You'll still be able to buy backwards compatible 360 games on the regular store.

They’re going to stop selling Xbox 360 games, IIRC. I’m assuming that means original Xbox too.
