    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

    :)

    Multiple USB flash drives on Xbox 360

    Hello everyone.


    Today i brought a external Hard drive and i pluged in the console.

    The external Hard drive is recognized by the console, however one of my USB flash drive stops working and it dosen´t show in the storage devices list.

    When i removed the external Hard drive the USB flash drive works again and it shows in the storage devices list.



    The console has:

    • a internal Hard drive
    • 2 USB flash drive
    • the external Hard drive


    My question is how USB devices does the Xbox 360 recognized at once ?

    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).

    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.

    Corrupted saved game

    Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Have you tried checking if the issue still persist while the external hard drive is unplugged? I've experienced the same thing and found out that it is my external hard drive that is causing the error though. I suggest to reformat your external hard drive.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
