So I have just plugged a SanDisk into my Xbox and it just come up with "When formatting is done you'll be able to use the games and apps on SanDisk with any xbox console you plug it into. It will usable only with xbox consoles."
Does this mean that I will never be able to use the disk on my laptop ever again or not use the xbox game on my laptop ect which is what I expect I just don't want to risk making it xbox exclusive when I need it for my laptop.

agile sorrel
So what would I be looking for?

rapid agate

it depends on ur needs and u need to do ur own research. check out load times on xbox series consoles hdd vs ssd and expansion card

on those games hdd is fine. it takes like less than a minute to load in on rdr2. its only difference is basically the load times. maybe a bit boost in perf if the games had any fps bost etc
