    Battlefront load times

    Load times on the console are bad from its 5400rpm hardrive. Try using an external ssd, or 7200rpm it may help a bit. I moved to pc ultra and my load times are much much better than console woth my 7200rpm hybrid hardrive.

  3. Need help with external hard drive

    I am looking to get an external harddrive for the xbox1 but I have a few questions:

    1. What specs should I be looking for?
    2. If a game is saved on the external can I play it and will it runs as smooth as if it was saved on the Xbox's hardrive?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Although that is a very nice hard drive i would recommend getting a more basic western digital hard drive for cheap as they work just as good.

    store.westerndigital.com/.../My_Book


    I have this hard drive in 3 tb size and I have 40 games on it which are a mix of games like farcry 4 and arcade games and I currently am only at 16% used and have 2.5 tb still remaining for space. This hard drive will also significantly improve loading times.
    GTA loading time is almost half of what it was on regular harddrive with Xbox one. The very expensive one you showed will not offer much faster speeds so I advise a basic drive that will save you lots of money to buy more games with.

    Which Xbox One model would be best 4 me?

    Currently it would be hard to find an Xbox One with a hardrive with more than 500GB, that being said you should invest in either an external hardrive or a new hardrive with at least a 1TB.
