External Hard drive Question and Help.

Currently using a wall powered 8TB Xbox Game Hub drive which has a 7200rpm Barracuda drive inside.

If i was to switch to a usb powered 4tb 5400rpm drive how much of a difference in load times will i see? I know the 7200 loads quocket but wondering how much the difference would be.

Thanks

USB External Drive and Internal Drive Question

Hello guys and gals I have a question

I am about to get a new 1TB USB 3.0 external Hard drive and my question is

After I setup my usb external hard drive does the xbox one still use the internal drive ?

I am a little OCD about the life span of hard drives and thought by plugging in an external drive it will not use the internal drive as much if all my data is on the external .

what I would like to know is does the xbox one still use the internal drive just for the OS / Firmware and nothing else if I have a external hooked up and am I correct to think that by keeping all my games and content on an external drive it will help keep
the ware and tare down on the internal drive ?

thanks I know this may sound crazy and I prob have nothing to worry about . just something that I think about

thanks for any input.

 

The 7200 RPM drive should be a little bit faster when reading randomly from the disk, while 5400 may be a little slower compared. It could be up to 33% slower if the drives have the same density and platter count. (8TB may have 5 or 6 platters while the 4TB
may have 3 or 4).

 

more faster 7200rpm than 5400rpm

 

Hello!

Best case scenario you might see a 20% increase in speed going from a 5400 to 7200rpm drive (or vice versa). This would also be assuming that both drives are traditional hard drives and hybrid solid state hard drives. Likely this number is going to be less
than this though for something like loading games on the Xbox. I would guess you're likely going to notice very little difference.
