External Storage Support

Shuboxx · Jul 10, 2015

While I am aware that the current ceiling for external drives is 2TB, I was wondering if the Xbox team would be considering raising that to 3TB now that WD has announced their next line of products..

This doesn't affect me directly, but just thought I'd put it out there for future reference in case others were thinking the same thing..

Yes, the PlayStation 4 Supports External Storage, but There’s a Catch

Well now I am wondering if the X1 will let us use it to put game son it, probably not

It was probably a given, but we now know that while the PlayStation 4 supports external storage (like the PlayStation 3 before it), we won’t be able to use that storage to play downloaded games. Thank Sony games honcho Shuhei Yoshida — one of those rare corporate divisional presidents who spends a pile of time fielding questions on Twitter, pretty much daily – for confirming as much last week.

Xbox One "Unlikely to support external storage at launch"

"The future plan is definitely to support external storage," says Major Nelson

Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb said on his latest podcast: "The Xbox One will ship with a 500GB hard drive, all of them have that. The future plan is definitely to support external storage, much like we do on the Xbox 360. My understanding is that feature will not be there at launch because the team's working on some other things, but it's definitely on the list, I don't know when it'll come in though."

Xbox One head of product planning Albert Penello said in May that the console will have a non-removable 500GB hard drive. External storage solutions will be used through the console's USB 3.0 port.Click to expand...

Hi Shuboxx,

not sure about the ceiling you mentioned - there are a number of larger drives - I was just looking at an 8TB Seagate they have just been talking about in the news recently.

The Xbox currently supports a maximum of 16TB of storage via one socket. (The minimum is 256GB, on a USB 3.0 drive). I have been told the max storage is 2 drives at 16TB plus the internal HDD's 500GB, so 32.5TB. This might change in the future with console
updates!

Currently you cannot upgrade the Hard Drive or use external storage support.

External Storage will be available "soon". Hopefully in the next couple of months.

Hi Jimbo,

its pretty unlikely, or even impossible to implement external storage within the next update.

As much as I read about it, its planned to implement external storage devices in the future.

Here you can read a bit about it

Hey there TauntingLynx551!

The Xbox 360 console only supports up to 32GB of external storage. You can refer to our
Xbox 360 External Storage support page for more information.

Hope this helps!
