It does "improve" it., but you're talking Loading Times of maybe 25s instead of 35-40s when you initially begin.

I don't know about in regards to the Xbox One (X) but an SSD doesn't really improve the Loading / Streaming Performance in Sea of Thieves.
Ssd drive for xbox one install#
The Difference in an external Vs internal is minimal and if you manage your content to install on external SSD you don't void warranty or break stuff disassembling you Xbox one X. The Game loads and the speed is significantly better than HDD. I have a Sandisk Ultra II 980gb and Nekteck 2.5 inch case USB Type C 3.1. Plug that into the USB 3 port closest to your HDMI connections and you'll get the maximum SATA III speed of 5gb/s.

My recommendation is to get an SSD and an external enclosure at USB 3.1. If you upgraded to an SSD, which one did you use, and what was the rough cost? How difficult was the upgrade process and what is needed? What would I need to correctly set up the SSD before installation? I know I can google this, but seems like everything is either video or written for someone that might know what they need ahead of time. But I guess I am looking for suggestions, and hoping those suggestions come with specifics. I have even seen someone that used a Seagate Hybrid drive. I have googled and found some videos, and suggestions. But pricing is somewhat of an issue, as well as simple know how. I have been thinking about upgrading my drive in my Xbox One X to an SSD.
