Can't upgrade hard drive

Will Wolferine · Oct 26, 2019

I have an Xbox One X I attempted to swap the slow stock HDD from to an SSD and found too late the NAND of the console has the OS in the beta ring. The OSU1 is a mere 2 commits behind what I have installed but lord knows when that will become available at
xbox.com/xboxone/osu1 (10.0.18363.7194 downloadable right now vs 10.0.18363.7196 on my device), I'm guessing sometime in November. It is beyond me why there is no option for offline xbox system updates for consoles in anything but the public ring or any previous
xbox OS zips available. This is of course insanely idiotic . Wouldn't the users with consoles in the beta or alpha rings be most likely to have boot issues? Why aren't multiple OS versions available to download as OSU for offline restore? The only relevant
post I found is a comment on this forum regarding this very question, which hilariously stated, "Since self-repair is a violation of the terms of service, this cannot be discussed on the forums" and was summarily closed
last week. So essentially Microsoft's message is, "your console you paid hundreds of dollars for doesn't work, we won't fix it, you can't fix it yourself even though you own it and it's not under warranty, you can send it to us but we probably won't fix it
and will charge you half the price of OEM anyway. P.S. eat dirt peon."

As self-repair is a violation of the terms of service, this cannot be discussed on the forums.

You can't upgrade the inbuilt Hard Drive. You will have to wait for external USB support to expand.

Hello CTclothbagco, for maximum quality and stability it is always better to get an official product or replacement. £300 for a 120GB hard drive is very steep indeed. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives, I myself have seen hard drives (60gb or 120gb)
for around £30 - £40.

You could try registering your product and requesting a replacement (if you are out of warranty there will be a fee - but I am sure that it will be much MUCH cheaper than £300 for the HD)

Theres always the option to try Ebay or game shops that sell pre-owned items.

I hope this is helpful for you. My over all advice would be to steer away from unofficial products, they come with more problems then they are worth and they dont support everything on the console smoothly. Thank you.

I' am not completely sure about this but to be on the safe side i would not do that.

One because you could break your xbox.

Two because you may get banned because it could be counted as modifying your xbox.

Not exactly: you can only connect two USB storage devices to the Xbox 360 at time, regardless of how many USB ports your console has. You can format more flash drives or external HDDs for use on the console and swap them if you like, but only
two devices will be usable at a time.
