Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

Xbox consoles will soon support external USB drives larger than 16TB. It's rolling out to some Xbox insiders today

[Puscifer]

Basically need this for COD

Who the fuck needs that kind of space, honestly.

 

[Celcius]

I'm guessing they have to do a "hack" to use multiple partitions and trick it into thinking there's multiple drives due to some constraint of the OS?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

This is a good thing. But I am sure someone is trying to post a funny Xbox meme joke that will get a lot of reactions.

 

[Clintizzle]

6000gb reserved for Yearly COD releases. A further 6000 GB for weekly COD update TEMP storage.

 

[Gaiff]

Maybe they should make games worthy of taking space to start.

COD + Flight Simulator will just about do it.

 

[Nonehxc]

Wat.

I just have the one TB SX comes with and I'm chockfull of great games and thousands of hours of fun: Harold Halibut, Starfield, Indiana Jones, STALKER 2, Mass Effect Legendary, etc etc etc to name 1/3rd of what I have installed right now.

What the fuck would I need sixteen fucking TB for?

 

[tusharngf]

I still remember xbox 360 days.. I have to delete some games to make room for new.

PC as it has superior backwards compatibility.

I have way more than 18 TB.

Are you running a local server or something?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

16tb is like every single series x game and a whole bunch of last gen

 

[Deerock71]

Like...10 Call of Dookies!

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Gotta love Phil's foresight. He's getting the storage ready for all the games coming.

 

[intbal]

I would greatly prefer it if they found a way to bring down the price of their external NVMe drives.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

A vital addition to the Lesbos ecosystem

 

[Quasicat]

I have 3TB of ssd storage and 8TB of an external hdd and both are mostly full. I wish I could pop in a normal ssd and upgrade it that way. It would be much more convenient.

nevermind.

Don't try to fool yourself, we all know how this place works by now.

 

[LordCBH]

And yet they still refuse to give us an expansion slot adapter so we can use our own m.2 drives for Series X games. Fucking absurd.

 

[ManaByte]

Who the fuck needs that kind of space, honestly.

I have 13TB right now attached to my Series X

 

[ReBurn]

Can I hook up a 4 bay enclosure with 64 TB? It would be kind of cool to download everything I ever bought just to see how much space it all takes.

Sounds like it, the topic title has been Draugoth 'ed, the actual article says they're allowing support LARGER THAN 16TB, not UPTO 16TB.

It will divide > 16TB into multiple partitions so you can still use all the space, it just shows up as multiple different devices connected to the console.

edit: I don't know if enclosures will work, the article doesn't go into that kind of minutiae.

Sounds like a science experiment is in order.

 

[PJX]

It's pointless if you can't play Xbox Series X/S games off any SSD drive. Garbage update that isn't needed.

 

[El Muerto]

How about letting us use an adapter with any m.2 instead of the overpriced memory cards.

 

[Ceadeus]

Who the fuck needs that kind of space, honestly.

You would be surprised, retrobeast

 

[PJX]

Imagine, it's 2025 and those shitty cards are still over $150.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Good time to take a look back at the 360's HD

 

[odhiex]

Is this for storage only? I thought that Series S/X games could only run on the internal SSD and/or the SSD expansion?

 

[StereoVsn]

Who the fuck needs that kind of space, honestly.

Besides, this is only for legacy games and cold storage. Makes 0 sense but I guess there are a few folks who want to keep their entire library local.

How much do you have?

Over $200 if you want 2TB. I don't care how much Microsoft tries to convince me they're pro consumer on anything, Vita Series X memory card prices show otherwise.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I"ve got all those years of XB360 gold games, would it take 16TB to store them all?

 

[DoubleClutch]

How much do you have?

Are you running a local server or something?

Locally, I have two 2TB NVMe installed in my desktop, and on my home server I have about 120TB spread across 10 drives. 16TB of that is dedicated to 24/7 surveillance cameras (I have 8 cameras going at 2K each).
