    HDD space


    I was wondering if Xbox was going to allow for additional hard drives to be used on the system. I don't know why it is limited to 320 GB. With the relatively new feature of an Xbox live Gold account getting two games each month that they would have done
    something to allow for additional hard drives to be used. Games take up space, space is limited. I know things can be deleted but I don't want the hassle of re-downloading content that I have deleted to save space.

    :)

    Fyi, my AW console had ~780 GB free when I first got it iirc.

    Oh definitely, depending on the size of the game. Also depending on how much DLC has been purchased for a game. Just saying based on the current figures, if he's at 50% with his first 6 games, those games are really only taking up about 30%.

    Hey there sg1maniac!

    Currently allowing additional hard drives to be used on the same system is not a supported feature. However, you can use a Xbox 360 Flash Drive as well as removing unwanted content to free up space.

    We need to be aware of the size of games though. Master Chief Collection itself comprises 60GB worth of storage space. Also depending on some of the other games out there you could be looking at somewhere between 20 - 40GB worth of space taken up. 6 games
    could theoretically take up 50% of the space available.

    Thanks Yapper. USB 3.0.

    If you delete games they will always be available for redownload if you choose.

    Sorry made an error in that post. A total of 69GB is lost in translation, not 71GB. Too late to edit now.

    A 1TB hard drive is around 931GB when formatted, so you can subtract 71GB straight away. This 69GB wasn't actually lost, in fact, it was never there in the first place. Computer systems and consoles see 1TB in its exact binary form of 1024 Gigabytes, but
    manufactures use the decimal calculation when sizing these devices, which means when the system looks at them they appear to have lost space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte

    So, in actual fact, about 127GB is being used by the console. What is also a fact is that the OS or OS's of the Xbox One are not over 100GB. A fresh install of Windows 8.1 is a little over 20GB and it is highly unlikely the system OS is larger than that,
    even with three of them, of which one is a hypervisor, linking the other two OS's together.

    Same thing with the console, some of the Hard drive space is already gone the rest is taken up by the three OS's running on the One. The larger the Hard drive the more space that seems to disappear into a void.

    This is the best I can explain it whist at work.
