    Xbox one pre downloading games

    Hi Ive pre ordered and downloaded black ops 3 to my external hardrive, if I take my console and external hardrive round my friends will it work without corrupting the file ? As the external hardrive will be unplugged from my house to his. I did this last
    year and I had to re download the game at midnight which wasn't fun

    So just to be sure.

    I can use any external hardrive with the Xbox One. As in if I went and got like a 2TB external hardrive I can use that for my digital game downloads.

    Hi DemonHunter1978

    USB powered external drives are what most people go with due to the portability. Generally, they are much smaller in size and you get can still get lots of storage. They are also cheaper.

    Mains powered External drives are normally much larger in size, however they offer many features not present with your traditional external drive, such as:

    A faster transfer rate

    USB 2.0 and 3.0

    Continuous backup

    Encryption along with password protection

    IMO, I would go with a USB powered external drive as it is cheaper, smaller and easier.

    Remember that when deciding on a new external drive, Make sure that it uses USB 3.0 as the Xbox One has 3 USB 3.0 ports

    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.
