Microsoft has pushed out an Xbox update today, allowing you to connect any size hard drive to your Xbox. Don’t get too excited yet; that comes with a caveat. You won’t be playing Call of Duty Black Ops 6 off your cheaper external hard drive.
The purpose of this update is to allow users to store more games locally and not have to download them each time they want to play them. If it’s a title you don’t play very often, you don’t have to worry about the precious space it consumes on Xbox’s more expensive and limited high-speed storage. What this will do for you is allow you to copy games you don’t play as often to the external hard drive. Doing this allows you to copy them back to your high speed Xbox storage when you’re ready to play.
The new update makes a maximum of one 16TB partition at a time. So if you have a 20TB hard drive, for example, you’d see two drives, one at 16TB and one at 4TB. The update doesn’t specify if the user can define the size of each partition. If you have a slower internet connection or don’t have the time to wait for a download, this new update will make things much more efficient
