1 External HD... 2 Xbox ones

Can it be done? Use 1 external hardrive with a USB splitter to 2 xbox ones?

External Hard Drive Question

I have an Xbox 1 and just got the 1S for Christmas. If I get an external HD for games/saved content will I be able to use it interchangeably between the 2 consols?

Which to buy, the 500gb or 1TB?

To echo blue. Minimum is 3.0 USB. 256GB external HD. And You can use up to 2 5TB external HD. So 10 TB

I wouldn't do it at the same time, no... if both are trying to read/write at the same time when it's not expecting it, it could lead to corruption.

That being said, I've never tried myself... it could be fine, but I personally wouldn't risk it.

I definitely wouldn't attempt that as drives are not designed to be used that way. Sounds to me as Theory as indicated a good way to corrupt the data.

what if you installed it one at a time then after installed on both, connect it to both and only install games using one xbox?

Use it as a share tool for the other xbox type deal
