Reddit reviews ADATA SD600 3D NAND 256GB USB3.1 Ultra-Speed External Solid State Drive Read up to 440 MB/s Black (ASD600-256GU31-CBK)

I mean, I'm not trying to be insensitive to people's financial statuses but it was $60. If someone can afford an Xbox One, plus Destiny and all the expansion costs I don't think the SSD is going to be the make or break factor.

I mentioned to another poster that I don't want to recommend a specific one since I'm not really super savvy about the latest SSD tech, but:

1. the big brands should be good (Samsung, Western Digital, etc.) and 2) if you don't mind small capacity and a little risk, you can do something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRT23D5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   (that's what I got)
   
   I usually would make sure the SSD has a fair amount of reviews and more than a 4* rating. Personally at $40, I was willing to take a risk that this was a crappy SSD, since it's mostly for Destiny anyway.

Game changer

I bought this, which is working pretty well. Only complaint is it takes my phone (Pixel 3) at least 30 seconds to mount it after plugging it in.

The cheaper ones won't work for storing games, due to size you need at least 240gigs though xbox recommends 250gigs. Also an important factor to look at is the speed of the SSD. This is the first SSD I bought https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-USB3-1-Ultra-Speed-External-ASD600-256GU31-CBK/dp/B06XRT23D5/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525956409&sr=8-4&keywords=adata+ssd&dpID=61MyDdMj4uL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Problem it this one is it only went up to 440mbs for speed. Which I found still wasn't fast enough 100 percent of the time. I'd say maybe half of my games I still landed with playdough buildings. So I would highly suggest an SSD that is 550mbs for speed. That's the second one I bought and haven't had any trouble with rendering since.

Yeah, here is the one I got on Amazon.

You can get a $40 external 256gb ssd and just pick and choose what to transfer onto it. Can hold 2-3 games at a time in my experience.
This is what i bought:

I picked up one of these little guys just for Destiny to give the SSDs a shot and now I'm going to upgrade to a bigger one:

Here is the best external SSD from a reputable company (ADATA) for a good price that I've found after browsing Amazon for a few minutes. 256 GB is more than enough to hold D2 with all expansions and it's only $62. You won't even need to buy an enclosure for it like some of the other recommendations for internal SSDs, just plug, transfer, and play!

If I buy an external ssd like this one https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-USB3-1-Ultra-Speed-External-ASD600-256GU31-CBK/dp/B06XRT23D5/ref=mp_s_a_1_10/141-8678199-2727339?ie=UTF8&qid=1550080637&sr=1-10&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65 it would be ok ? and i saw there will be reduction for two player ships tomorrow because it is valentin’s day. Is it true ? I really thank you for your answers 😀

I googled that and got this

USBs are not designed to run operating systems, so flaky results are frequent. An external SSD, however, performs flawlessly. I use one connected to my Lenovo X230, and am very pleased with how well my Linux Mint works on it. This is the particular model I have been using for over six months now, without any problems whatsoever, including wifi:
