I dont understand whats going on here. I have an external 2TB hooked up already playing older, larger games. Whats new?

I think (can't find official sources, just community discussion) that previously USB drives used for games could only support a max of a single 16TB partition per drive.

This article is now saying the console will support multiple partitions for drives larger than 16TB.

Ok, cool......i think? Im glad theyre doing something but i feel like this is a very niche issue.

Same, I've got a 10 tb external drive connected to my series x right now.

USB hard drives larger than 16 GB

Looks like it's just larger external drive support.

Yeah thats what I dont understand. Is it specifically USB sticks?
