One thing to keep an eye out for when buying the SATA-USB adapters is to find one that supports UASP. That probably explains why the cheap offbrand adapter was slower than the Sabrent adapter. UASP is an optional part of the USB 3 standard and Microsoft never officially stated whether any Xbox console supported UASP but it would help explain the improved speeds with the Sabrent adapter.

@@SIPEROTH I don't have super deep or precise knowledge of this so hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the matter can step in and better explain or correct me, but as I understand it, load times aren't exclusively made up of just pulling assets from storage. The assets are probably coming in very fast but it's going to bottlenecked elsewhere. I imagine in part this will come from the fact that games won't have been designed to take advantage of the hardware accelerated nature of the Velocity Architecture meaning that while IO operations themselves are likely hardware accelerated, the fact the game's code is unaware of it means it won't be running all the non-asset-loading stuff in parallel. So you're seeing some advantage of the raw speed of the new NVMe but as we can't see explicitly what's happening under the covers during a load screen, the actual speed of the "loading assets from storage" part is being masked by other things. On top of that games that are aware of VA that can fully take advantage of it will have been designed with it in mind. Yeah, they'll obviously get some natural advantage from the faster raw IO, but they'll also be able to benefit from the hardware accelerated decompression (meaning a) the CPU doesn't have to get involved and b) they can effectively load data much more quickly the raw IO speed of the NVMe would indicate). Also because they'll be pulling assets in so fast, there's less of a need to load everything up front - they can rely on that crazy speed to load things on the fly.

I think I might have the clue for the disparities in performance. When writing a huge amount of data into the SSD (170 GB Call of Duty) the limitations of the "value oriented" 870 QVO appear. While it has DRAM, unlike other cheap SATA SSD's, it has only so much fast SLC cache (apparently 78 GB) and when that is exhausted the writing speed dramatically drops, even below USB max speed. That's because the main storage is kicking in, and it's of the slow QLC type (4 bits per cell). Instead, the Samsung pm961 NVME makes use of the older, less dense, but faster TLC NAND memory (3 bits per cell). When writing smaller amounts of data, or when reading, this problem is less apparent. In fact, I speculate the reason for faster loading times with the SATA SSD might be the interface: NVME is a faster but different protocol, whereas the conversion between SATA and USB protocols is more straightforward as far as I know. Needless to say, when loading a game the sequential speed is capped by the USB 3.1, and not the SSD's be them SATA or NVME.

This affirms my contention. Based on my experience with working with video files that often easily exceed 250GB the ability to edit and read that data the difference isn't massive between a SATA SSD and internal NVMe. The CPU is the biggest difference, followed by the flash/memory controller and the type of memory used. A drive with a higher sustained read rate will provide a better experience with larger file sizes than one with a slightly faster max read/write.

@Kevin Smith True, but "no noticeable difference" only applies to backcomp games since internal SSD and expansion card work just like normal NVMe SSD if games is not using any advanced features. Why there isn't huge difference? You should watch Linus' video on SSD speeds to understand why there isn't a big difference.

You could play Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox one games using a USB hard drive on the series x. You can’t play games meant for series x or s using a USB hard drive though. If you guys don’t want to pay $220 for a expansion card, I suggest you guys buy a USB hard drive since you guys could just transfer games you don’t play as much to your USB and when you want to play it you could just transfer it back to your SSD.

The QVO is an QLC drive, and probably ran out of cache and slowed down on the writes, making it take 50% longer to transfer. The Sata and NVME drive can both exceed the speed of the USB ports on the Xbox Series X. This is why you see virtually identical reads but slower writes on the sata drive. Get a MLC sata SSD and do the test again. One that can do full drive writes at full speed. 860 pro or the like.

Very interesting, especially the load time tests. Debunks a lot of marketing ******** which has accumulated around PCIe SSDs (especially gen 4) and confirms what has always been known in the real computing world. The sequential read/write speed marketing arms race is irrelevant to most normal use. In the vast majority of real-use cases use many small read/write transactions, not sequential reads. (Although SSDs performance can vary significantly in this respect, it is not related to their headline sequential speeds.) In real-world read/write intensive scenarios the performance gain from a HDD (say '~220MB/s' peak sequential speed) to a SATA SSD (at '~520MB/s') is often huge, but stepping up further to a PCIe gen3 SSD (around '2,000-3,500MB/s') is usually barely noticeable. And as for the claimed '7,500MB/s' of some PCIe gen4 SSDs..... unless it's performing sequential reads/writes, even benchmark tests will struggle to show a performance gain. [But the marketing department must have some big numbers to dazzle the muggles & sell more crap.]

SATA SSD will do. Even QLC without DRAM, but ONLY AS LONG as you KEEP the games on that external SATA SSD. Why? 1) DRAM means lower writing speeds, so you will have to wait longer for stuff to install. 2) QLC wears down faster (and with the sizes of games it might happen much faster). Sum total: "cheap" big SATA SSD will do excellent as storage for many games you want to keep most of the time.
