    you can only have upto 32GB external storage space. Even if you add 1 TB external storage drive, xbox will format it and use only 32 GB.

    Adding external hard drives

    I know that you can add up to two external hard drives to the Xbox One.

    But is there a limit on the capacity of the external drives?

    Like, can I add a 1 TB Hard drive?



    Thanks

    You can use any brand and either 2.5" or 3.5" hard drives and it must be USB3.0 and at least 256GB or more in size. You can use USB powered or AC powered.

    If it's not USB 3.0 it can't be used to store games and will only appear as a media storage device (music, pictures, video).

    if you play a lot of digital games, I would recommend the 8tb hard drive if you have the funds for it. They get discounted a lot to around $150 dollars. The brand is really depended on you. I use Seagate. No issues for me.
