The Xbox ROG ALLY X sounds really good.
Just not $1000 good.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Does anybody else have issues playing DVDs on their XSX ? I've googled and it seems to be sporadic out there. Blu-ray and 4K discs play fine, but some DVDs have an odd pulsing pattern in the image. I first noticed it trying to play a Star Trek TOS disc, one of the original orange case ones. Then I tried another DVD I had out, Jackie Chan's First Strike, and it played fine, so I wonder if it's something about converting from the NTSC framerate vs the film framerate?
I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the disc player app and giving the system a hard restart but no change.
Anybody else run into this?

I just experienced something similar last week. I couldn't get the brand new 12 Monkeys UHD to play on my Xbox One X. First disc that I can recall doing that.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Can someone please tell me if this is an SSD drive that I can play X/S optimized games on if I move from another SSD or internal storage? Thanks in advance.

You mean besides me already telling you that you can't?
You could keep games on it externally and transfer the data to an internal card when you need it, but there's no need for an expensive SSD for that.
How hard is it to do this to check?

Did you read what I've now typed three times? It's not the brand that is important, it's internal vs external.
There is no external drive that works to play current-gen games off of for either XSX or PS5.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
so, why is the seagate formatted as internal and can play X/S optimized? i'm sorry if i'm confused and don't mean to be a pain, but i don't see the difference between the Seagate SSD that plays optimized games and the Lexar SSD that will not.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
i really am sorry Deck and do appreciate this help. i just am trying to understand why one works and not the other if they are both SSD and external from the X/S itself.

That’s all from the Seagate external SSD. Fully playable.

Do you have a memory expansion card plugged into the back of your XSX? Because those are made by Seagate. Did you just rename it Seagate SSD?
This is what I see when I check storage device on my XSX

You can buy a 2 TB Seagate SSD card and toss out the 1 TB one. It costs $279.99. I would just transfer data to and from an external HDD instead though.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
You'd have to transfer everything from the card to an external HD (either SSD or HD), then swap the external card with a 2TB one, then transfer it back. Not really worth it. Just move some content to and from an external 4GB HDD as needed.
And yeah, that was pretty frustrating there.
Thanks for acknowledging.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
i bought the 4TB SSD and will transfer the 1TB SSD to the 5TB drive, then 5TB to 4TB SSD and then return the 5TB drive. thanks Deck for all the advice and staying with me through the frustration and headache caused by all this. You truly have a patient demeanor, and I am sure your bedside manner is as equally as great.

I keep coming to this thread hoping it has real Xbox X news and isn't just another gd tutorial for someone who fails to use Google or YT like the rest of us.
