Discussion
The disk works with the Xbox Series X. Initially, when I plugged it into the BlueAngel device, the console didn't detect it. I bought a USB adapter and removed the partitions from it. Then I plugged it back into the console and formatted it. Now it works properly.
Finally a ssd that works on xbox series x. tried 3 models with no results. the other brands just doesn't power-on at all. i was able to clone my boot partition from the original and defective ssd (sstg/ phison), recover it on the new ssd and the recovery showed up and i was able to reinstall the console's system again.
As can be seen in the images, the disc is not new, it is used, and the performance is good but not excellent. However, it is functional. It arrived quickly in 15 days to BogotΓ‘, Colombia.
It is necessary to connect to the computer, change the file system to MBR, and format to NTFS; after that, it will work on the Xbox Series S.
