hello,recently i bought a xbox one and a 1tb external hard drive, i have a couple cuestions

1.-It,s better to install all of my videogames in my external hard drive leaving the internal intact?

2:- its anny difference between external and internal? i mean that the external its going to live more or have more life spectance than the internal ?

3.- how long did your hard drives last or whats the life expectancy ?

I thinks is better to install all in the external but i dont know it that gonna last me .

1.-It,s better to install all of my videogames in my external hard drive leaving the internal intact?
Depends. Some external hard drives load and run games faster than the internal proprietary HDD. Most don't though. Myself, I have a large external I install all my games on and run from there, leaving the internal for just apps and updates. It's just easier that way for me. I haven't had any problems.
​2:- its anny difference between external and internal? i mean that the external its going to live more or have more life spectance than the internal ?
Not really any difference there, no. An external might last longer, but if you are asking if the Microsoft internal will crap out sooner than a third party drive, I'm guessing no. The Xbox One seems to be very well built. Like I said earlier, it depends on the drive whether or not it can load and run games faster. But you won't see much of a difference.
​3.- how long did your hard drives last or whats the life expectancy ?
My 500GB HDD filled up fairly quickly. Most games are about 35-50 GB of space. Even more with some. So do the math. That will get you about 20 games. And that isn't accounting for updates and the OS. So probably much less than 20. Life expectancy? I've had my Xbox One since launch (about 2 and a half years) and it has shown no signs of fatigue.

You think if i used cointinuosly and all day the external hard drive its gonna die more sooner than later?
Not really. They are designed to be on at all times. But even if they require an external power source and your Xbox is on at all times... it won't be in use constantly. Only while you are downloading, uploading and running the game will it be in use.​

 

Usually it's better to install to the external drive,it gut's down onload times a bit.

As for how long it will last,no one can really answer that but it should last a few years I would think.

Depends on what hard drive it is & the quality of it.

Having it on all day shouldn't be an issue.

 

The life of a hard drive lasts for a very long time.

If you mean how long it'll last until it gets full of games is another question.

The original Xbox One, not the Elite version, has a 5400 RPM 500GB hard drive. If your 1tb drive runs anywhere higher than 5400 RPM then definitely install your games to it. This will improve loading times by a small, but significant amount.
