  1. HDD in Xbox One X failed. Now what?


    So my hard drive in my Xbox failed when trying to play Cyberpunk 2077. Numerous game crashes and bugs later, my Xbox completely shuts down and is unable to start back up. Every time I try to start it, I hear the horrifying "click of death" of the hard drive failing. Apparently I can't do anything about that because I'm an Insider. I just have to send in the Xbox to be repaired, which I don't know how much it will cost or how long it will take to repair. So I'm SOL because I decided to assist Microsoft with their OS updates? Where do I go from here? My hard drive has been working without fail or slowdown for years, and I even upgraded with an external hard drive to store more games. Now that my hard drive is busted, what do I do?

    What if the Xbox One HDD fails?

    Hi there,

    Are you worried about losing your game saves?

    -

    If so, game saves are saved on the cloud. If the hard drive fails and you need to replace the console, you would just have to redownload items to the new console.

    -

    Or is there another concern you have?

    Not concerned about game saves at all. I'm aware of saving online. I'm more concerned about the few unfortunate people whose systems HDD fail just outside of their warranty. The warranty will be void so they can attempt to replace it themselves but most
    people wouldn't have the savvy to do this themselves forcing them to pay Microsoft or someone comfortable to do it. Of course a knowledgable friend can do this for free too. But my point/concern is for such a huge physical system that could have easily supported
    user replaceable HDD, they made the most likely component to fail (the HDD) not user-friendly to replace forcing those who experience a failure well before the HDD MTBF but after the warranty expires the potential inconvenience of having to pay for both parts
    and labor. Now I understand sometimes, ish just happens and the drives fail; more often than most other computing components. But given failure rates of HDD's by comparison, the drive should be user-swappable or at least, Microsoft should not charge for labor
    of drive replacements for a longer period than the standard 1 year warranty. I can understand charging for parts. The $80-$130 are both far more than what the 500GB 5400 RPM drive costs.
