I've been watching through a series of a guy fixing game consoles with electrical issues ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPPvwjMj29nAmcOq0Pn3zHkHxX35xfeGG&si=iZGmINLNDHUQbYEO) and WOW the Xbox Series X/S has some weird issues.

If the SATA connector is bad on the optical drive, updates will fail to install.
Not updates off discs, mind you. Ones downloaded from the internet

Before you continue to YouTube

In typical Microsoft fashion it doesn't tell you "couldn't update as the optical drive isn't responding" or "the optical drive has the wrong serial", it just makes it 60% through a system update and then fails with a generic error
