Minimum drive size for and external drive on an Xbox one X

The youtube video was made in 2017 and the change just happened within the past few months. The video on the support site just hasn't been updated yet either.

So, why does the video in the below link say 256GB min?

It's recently been changed to 128 gb which is why a lot of website still list 256. https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/console/manage-storage

Hello 4rkstyl3,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. In order forr an external storage drive to save games and apps from Xbox One, it must meet the following requirements:

• It uses a USB 3.0 connection. If you’re using a USB hub, the hub must also be USB 3.0 or later.
  
• It has 128 GB or larger storage capacity.
• It has a partition. Typically, drives come with a preformatted partition. For more information about partitioning an external hard drive, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  
• No more than three storage devices are connected to the console at the same time.

Hope this helps!

Personally I don't see the point of getting a SSD drive, the improvement you get in load times isn't much better than just getting a good quality 7200rpm drive.

I think you'd be better off getting a big 2TB 7200rpm drive, it will load faster than the standard HDD in the Xbox One, and you should never run out of space (unlike the small SSD)

Just my opinion.
