Add SSD to Xbox One X more pleasant than expected!

As we all know, solid-state drives are the "life-saving medicine" of old computers and can significantly improve the user experience. So what about the improvement of home game consoles? Recently, GamersNexus tried to add an SSD to the Xbox One X, and the result was more pleasant than expected!

Microsoft's anti-cracking measures are very good, so the system cloning has never been successful. Therefore, GamersNexus chose to plug a SATA SSD through the USB3.0 interface of the host, and form a dual hard drive combination with the Seagate 2.5-inch 5400-rpm hard drive that comes with Xbox One X. (The speed of the mechanical hard disk is only 140MB / s)

GamersNexus tested a total of five games: "Assassin's Creed: Origins", "Destiny 2", "Final Fantasy 15", "Monster Hunter: The World", "Jedi Battle Royale"

In terms of game launch, all five games are accelerated by at least 2 seconds. The speed of Destiny 2 is extremely significant, which is 19 seconds higher than the original, which is about 34% faster. (Red is the combination of SSD + mechanical hard disk, blue is the single mechanical hard disk, the shorter the time, the better)

The increase in loading time is even more significant, with a speedup of more than 5 seconds. "Final Fantasy 15" is surprisingly shortened by 44 seconds, more than double the speed. "Assassin's Creed: Origin" has also been shortened by more than 10 seconds, and the speed has been increased by nearly 1/3. (Red is the combination of SSD + mechanical hard disk, blue is the single mechanical hard disk, the shorter the time, the better)


Only players can have such a huge experience improvement through USB 3.0 plug-in SSD. The potential of SSD in home game consoles has great mining value. It is hoped that the host manufacturers will open the official hard drive upgrade channel as soon as possible, which will also be a boon for the majority of players.
