Though they may be few in number, my heart breaks for hardcore Series S owners who went with that option to save money. 512 GB may be fine for the "two sports games a year and a Call of Duty" types but anyone hoping to bulk up their library is likely going to need to buy one of these sooner or later unless they're comfortable deleting and redownloading things.
I'm going to be using my Series S soley for gamepass, so lots of deleting and downloading things but only once I'm done with them. I expect having 2-3 games installed to the internal at once will be possible and workable along with a few instant save/resume dumps.
But my question is this: will I be able to run all these og xbox/360/xb1 games I've yet to play directly from a cheap external USB SSD, like the Samsung T5 I currently use on my ps4 Pro? My Pro is getting retired when the ps5 comes and I'll buy a proper expansion to 1.8TB for this console as it'll be my main machine, so could I just use that T5 with the S to let me play old Halo, Gears, Forza Horizon and Fable stuff that might be on gamepass directly? I really hope so, it'd make the whole thing far less hassle and I imagine the read speeds of 500GB/s would be way better than I'm used to with current gen throttling.
