Well, we now have an answer to how long it will take to move:

One of them comes from GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb who tested how long it takes to transfer files between various drives. In the video embedded above, Grubb moves Assassin's Creed Origins (which is a 49GB file) around his storage locations in different configurations. Here's what the tests found.

Moving Origins from an external SSD to an internal SSD took only 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

2:18 min (138 seconds) to move or copy 49 GB ain't that impressive for NVME-SSDs, that's just 355 MB/s.

An external HDD-Raid ain't that much slower:

I just saw the 4TB model cost a around the price of the xbox card. Thats pretty good. Or Are we missing something with the xbox card cuz 355MB/s seems kind of slow.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

You'll probably even get a 8 TB or 10 TB model for that price on Cyberday / Black Friday.

Disadvantage: It's huge compared to an external SSD or external 2.5'' HDD.

I just tested the copy time of Assassin's Creed: Origins (PC-Version, 71 GB) from my 28TB-HDD to my SATA-SSD: 03:36 minutes for the last 63 GB, ~4 minutes in total:

Not having Anno1503 on your drive renders your work incomplete

My PC retail games are in the Games folder, not in the Uplay folder.

I'm impressed on how small they are.

Somebody will make an adapter.

I currently have 8tb on my Xbox One X in addition to the 1tb that came with the system. One TB on XSX is unacceptable.

Well a 2tb SSD is $350, so that's wasn't feasible. Sounds to me someone needs to clean up their drive or you need to buy HHD server to store some of your games.
