7200rpm External HDD?

Anyone out their in Xbox land know any external hard drives that are 7200rpm?

I've looked at a few brands Seagate, Western Digital etc but they don't seem to want to tell us the rpm of the drives.

:)

 

External hard drive for xbox one what to you use?

A 7200rpm external HD is faster than the 5400rpm internal drive but the 7200rpm external drive is bottlenecked by USB 3.0, as data transfer speeds are faster through SATA ... I think.

 

External hard drive for xbox one what to you use?

I'm pretty sure that a 7200rpm External HD spins faster than your internal ONE drive.

 

Here is a little start on your search. You will notice that most are anything but portable. I'll add that 5400rpm seems to be working
great for me (2TB WD Passport Ultra).

 

You can get a faster SSD and use it.

 

I don't believe you will find 7200 RPM self-contained external drives.

It's easy enough to build your own. Buy a 7200 RPM drive and stick it in an enclosure. I put an older 320GB 7200 RPM drive into an enclosure. Console sees it just fine. Not using it for any games as I have a 500GB SSD in another enclosure.

 

Yes i purchased this one

www.amazon.com/.../ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

its USB3.0 and 7200RPM for a good price.

 

I'd take a quality brand's 5400 drive over a no-name 7200 any day of the week.

 

@dynamic

If that was directed at my link, you would be highly incorrect

 

HGST is still one of the few remaining drive makers (Seagate bought them, but manufacturing hasn't been integrated yet), so if they're making a 7200RPM Touro, it's legit.

Still... a decent SSD stomps all over it.

 

@Ice

actually Western Digital purchased them and they decided to stay seperate (kinda like alienware and dell)

HGST are legit. and yes an SSD would be faster then a 7200 RPM drive but also alot more pricy just to shave a few seconds off load times. For the xbox buying an SSD would be wasted money and overkill

 

I didn't want to make another topic about the same question, so I thought I'd just ask here.

I have never really used anything external except for a flash drive, so I need some help.

I want to purchase the largest amount of storage I can up front so I don't have to worry about it later. I am a collector/gamer so I will have many games. I have over 150for my 360, and I want to be prepared with storage for a large X1 collection as well.
Especially since u have to install all the games.

What is the largest external u can connect to the xbox1(I think it's 8tb).

And if it is 8tb all I could find on amazon were cloude storages.

 

8 terrabytes ×2 you can have 2 seperate drives.If you fill both of them you need to seriously considering getting a life.

 

Hey man, u can't buy games w/I a job. I work 50-70 hours a week. And I do have a gf. I also graduated highschool with several scholarships. It's called a hobby.

I just wanted a suggestion on what external I should get, not a rude comment.

and if u were not trying to be rude or smart, I apologies.

 

Here's what I've bought and am running as of today:
