My Xbox One S is a 500GB Hard Drive Is Out of Storage Space I Need Help Please.

Expand - Get external drive or remove some games. Welcome to 500GB.. I would get a 2TB external drive personally.

My Xbox One S is a 500GB Hard Drive Is Out of Storage Space I Need Help Please.

you can either delete content, or you can use an external USB hard drive to get additional storage. I personally have a 3TB external drive to avoid this issue.

The hard drive is only 1 TB. When the Xbox One S was first released it had a 2 TB hard drive. 1TB is not enough for hardcore gamers which is what this console seems to be intended for. The One X needs a 2 or 3TB hard drive. I understand the Xbox is trying
to keep the price down but the targeted consumer, hardcore gamers, are willing to pay extra for what we need. This will force the targeted consumer to use an external hard drive which to my understanding, and I may be wrong, will have a negative effect on
load times on the One X. If Xbox releases a One X at a later date with the necessary memory this will cause those of us that bought the console at release to feel betrayed. Different versions of the One X need to be released at launch like they did with the
One S giving us the choice of a 1 or 2TB console.

Hi,

Seagate 4TB Expansion Desktop Hard Drive STEB4000300

Has anyone used this? This one needs external power supply (from the wall). It is not the portable type.

Please let me know if it'll work well with xbox one s. Thanks.

I think you’re good with pretty much any of the Seagate external hard drive’s, powered or not. There was even a gentleman yesterday asking about using the max, which is a 16 TB hard drive. I would LOVE to see why he needs that many TB LOL

I'm going with the 4tb which is now on offer. Never used an external drive with power before.
