    @Shield II - That is great to hear as I just purchased the 2TB version of that drive. Hopefully it'll arrive early next week. Is there a light on the front of the drive and if so is it overly bright?

    There's a light on the front of mine (not the same drive), but I just cut out a small piece of black electrical tape and covered it. As the drive is black, you can't even see it's there unless you pick it up and look for it.

    Picked this up few weeks ago and did some load speed testing which shows that it is faster. Not amazing level of faster but 5-10 seconds better for loading times on most games.

    Copy files from Mac to Xbox One external HDD ?

    Hi,

    Not sure what you wanted to do here, could you elaborate?

    As for external hard drives, you can't partition them for use as both external storage for games and for use with your Mac or PC. You can use an external hard drive on the Xbox One as a media drive, though.

    If you format an external hard drive for Xbox One games storage, the whole drive is formatted and the file system is changed.

    External hard drive for xbox one what to you use?

    I'm using a Touro Mobile Pro. The reason I bought it is because it's one of only a few 2.5" drives that are 7,200 RPM rather than 5,400. I wanted something portable and USB powered too.

    @Floorboss - An external should be faster in most cases. The Xbox One's internal hard drive is a 5,400 RPM laptop drive connected via a SATA-II interface. Also, the drive may be doing other things other than just loading games, for example, it may be recording
    Game DVR video at the same time.

    An external HDD is not bottlenecked by USB 3.0. The external drive is only being used to load game and app data. Also, you can buy faster drives than the one in the Xbox One. Any 7,200 RPM drive should be faster than the Xbox One's drive, but also large
    capacity 5,400 drives will be faster too due to higher areal density/bigger cache.

    @LOL AT UR SKILL - SATA-II has a maximum transfer rate of 300 MB/s, which is plenty for a mechanical hard drive, but would bottleneck an SSD unless it was an old, slow one. USB 3.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 625 MB/s.

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