    External Hard Drive Question


    Hi I recently maxed out storage on my xbox on, and went to buy a External Hard Drive, The sales dude told me the Western Digital Elements would work but not sure if he was just trying to make a sale or not. So does any one know? its Western Digital, 1TB,
    3.0 USB.

    Thanks in Advance

    :)

    External hard drive question

    Hi,

    So the answer to that question Lies in the make of the hard drive. So Although most external hard drives are compatible with xbox's some are not, and some do funny things like look to reformat every time they are reattached to an xbox. Sounds like your son
    has the reformty one. I'd trust your son's experience on this matter as the way you usually find out if it compatible or not is one day disconnecting it and the loosing everything. That's a sad day. there is nothing Xbox can do about these hard drives as they
    are 3rd party and they have no control over the design and programming of the devices, most work fine but some have issue's.

    Yes it would be fine but in my personal experience I would recommend going bigger than 1TB

    Hi Giovanni. It fits all the requirements for being compatible with the xbox one, so I don't see any reason it shouldn't work if you want ahead a bought it.
