    HDD External Drive - What Do You All Have?


    Im at 76% 14 Games and I had to delete my XBL Gold Games. 3 Games I need to install. Looking for a Good (but rationally priced) External Hard Drive and wondered what everyone eles uses with there XBOX WON ? is 3 TB too Much? Maybe i should go with just
    a 2 TB? Or even a 1 TB.

    :)

    Xbox One "Unlikely to support external storage at launch"

    Wonder if it's to do with the drm changes that mean content on the external drive is now less secure so this is on temporary hold or has taken a slight set back.

    Quite like the external hdd idea, internal drive change would be nice but for the 1 is 1000 that need to replace their hdd many more will love to stick a new hdd into the back rather than do anything complicated.

    Time to see some final hardware on all sides I think and actually het to grips with what we will be getting. HDD External Drive - What Do You All Have? :)

    Cool tip for extra storage for owners of both XB1 and PS4

    For any of you who have both consoles
    http://www.takuchat.com/expand-ps4-hdd-cheap/

    Basically what the article is doing is showing you a way to get a 2TB internal HDD for your PS4 while at the same time getting a 500GB external drive for your XB1 all for the low low price of $89 the only issue is you will be voiding the warranty of your external drive.

    Buy the 2TB external HDD here for $89 take it apart and use the enclosed HDD in your PS4 then take your stock PS4 HDD and enter it in the external enclosure and viola 2TB upgrade for PS4 and 500GB external for the XB1. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ILALU9G...olid=60WZMK1OKXVT&coliid=I3I5XWVQY4N3E0&psc=1

    Im thinking about jumping on this tomorrow once I feel like taking a look at what the steps are for replacing the internal PS4 HDD.

  4. HDD External Drive - What Do You All Have?

    I originally went for a 3TB from Seagate, but the thing was heavy as a brick and had its own power supply, so I returned it & went for a 1TB with just USB 3.0.

    I was up to 90% full prior to getting it, I would of been past full if I didn't sell a few discs like BF4.

    With the 1TB it gave me 926GB, I think, and I just back up all installs & downloads. I don't keep it connected.

    Copying/moving between hard drives is amazingly fast compared to install/download.

    I can relate to the other side of CollapseControl's setup. I have a 3TB Seagate hard drive always plugged into my Xbox since the update. Everything runs just as quick and smooth as before with the internal hard drive. I can also hear the Seagate power down
    when the Xbox does so its not constantly running.

    I am only at 40% full on the included drive. Will need to expand this Winter. Plan on getting a WD 2.0TB portable (powered through the USB). That will easily hold me over for many years (or the life of my console).

    I have a 500GB Samsung 840 EVO in an enclosure and an old 320GB WD Scorpio in another enclosure. All the games are installed on the EVO. As I really only use Xbox One for console exclusives, I have plenty of space.

    Eh... SSHDs aren't that advanced. They're a modest boost over HDDs alone but aren't in the same class as SSDs.

    The main reason I prefer an SSD to a HDD on my console is not performance, but the reduced risk of damage due to accidental jostling.

  12. I have a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 2TB. Reasonably priced, good performance and gets all its power over the USB port, no need for a brick.
