This is a high quality meme.
Good job xbox.

 

[adamsapple]

That's not an SSD expansion, it's a USB 3.2 HDD.

 

[LordCBH]

What the fuck is this shit lol

 

[Kilau]

You can’t play the game if it’s on that drive.

 

[feynoob]

What the fuck is this shit lol

They have this kind of meme going around. Last time it was a mini fridge XSX.

 

[Bernoulli]

What a scam not even a real SSD
They selling an HDD at M2 SSD price

 

[kraspkibble]

Seagate

 

[spons]

Don't buy these if you plan to play games off them. Get an SSD in an external case instead.

It’s not a scam. OP just didn’t realize it’s not an SSD when he made his post

It is a scam it's priced lile a gen4 2tb ssd for a hdd

 

[adamsapple]

FYI Seagate has been making "game drives" like this for years, this is just another one of those with Starfield branding.

You can use it to play all legacy games and as cold storage for native SX games, but yeah this is not one of those SSD expansion cards.

That's why this os so bad, selling an HDD at the price of an SSD

Already asked the mods to fix it.

 

[ReBurn]

I wish there was an 8 tb SSD for $240. I don't under what this product is for.

 

[sendit]

Keeping that 3.5 spindle drive alive. What is with Microsoft’s fascination with legacy performance?

For the guy who made Starfield 400 page essay

You're probably right

I don't get it either. Get a random SATA SSD and put it in a case. Cheaper and better performance.

 

[Mr Moose]

Why does it say 5TB on it? Seagate HDDs are shit.

Now SSD are cheaper to make and even easier to transport because of the bulk,
HDD are finished

 

[Topher]

A Seagate HDD?

 

[b0uncyfr0]

HDD...

 

[scydrex]

What the hell... who asked for this? Not even a 2.5 ssd? Lol. This is DOA right oh on top of that Seagate HDD? Even worse.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Where does it say in the links or the pictures it's a Seagate SSD?

 

[kraspkibble]

a HDD? what year is it? 2006?

 

[feynoob]

a HDD? what year is it? 2006?

What do you expect from bing owners. They are late to the news.

 

[Stuart360]

a HDD? what year is it? 2006?

Unless you are made of money, people still buy and use HDD's for storage. Not that i would pay this much for a HDD though lol.

 

[Thief1987]

a HDD? what year is it? 2006?

It's not an HDD, it's a Starfield HDD. Big difference

 

[Draxon Gamer]

What even is a Seagate?

When I think Seagate I think being trapped in a flooded room with the gate closed with no way out. I want to be alive.

So I don't buy their products to stay safe.

[skit_data]

So... doesn't the specs mean the game isn't even playable from the drive? Confusing choice to say the least

Some Series-enhanced games can be played off HDDs. I have no clue about Starfield though.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

At least it's 7200 RPM and not 5400 RPM...

 

[Ulysses 31]

At least it's 7200 RPM and not 5400 RPM...

They should've gone with the 10000 RPM VelociRaptors...

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Legitimate sale of an item someone may choose to voluntarily purchase = scam

 

[Murdoch]

Ironic product

 

[Frwrd]

What in the actual fuck… the box says 6TB yet OP only listed 4/8 TBs

The mini fridge is cool though lol

native Series X games can not be played from USB drives.
only Xbox One games that have an enhanced patch.

Any game that is gen9aware will work on external USBs too. These are games that are not native but have some feature unlocking enhanced BC patches.

Eg Mass Effect Legendary runs at 4K/60 or 1440p/120 FPS on Series X but it is piggybacking off the One X game so in the file info it shows as gen9aware and runs via external USBs.

There's a bunch of other games that do that like AC Origin, Odyssey and some more.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

poor bastard that buys this by mistake.

 

[adamsapple]

Y'all know this is just a standard USB storage and can be used on any device, including PCs and even PS5s right ?

Starfield finally on PS5

 

[ergem]

omg what is Phil doing.. it’s time to let him go

 

[SmokedMeat]

An HDD??

 

[Dr. Claus]

I bought both.

I am a sucker for this design.

 

[Gorgon]

What we need is a 2T SSD for the storage expansion port at decent prices. Why the fuck are they releasing a HHD. Jesus christ.
