    bad idea...add more space on the outside...and wont be as fast installing/reading from it as the internal. They need a way to upgrade the internal..send it in for a 2 terabyte upgrade or something.

  2. It is USB 3 though right? I think it will be easily fast enough, probably faster then reading directly from a BR anyway. Not only that but you've get less heat inside the console as well.

    It will be faster from a external, from what I recall, USB 3.0 will do 5Gbits per second, and the hard drive in the Xbox will do 3Gbits.

    Even going with a 1tb hard drive will only delay the inevitable, adding external support is the best way to go since they are planning on making games for 10 years.

    [quote user="U Go 6 FT BeLOW"]bad idea...[/quote]As opposed to no expansion and no way to back up the drive (PS4)?
    The drive is a bigger factor there
    than the interface. I can transfer at over 100MB/sec using an SSD attached via USB 3.0. 2.5" HDDs are slower than that. There won't be a problem.
    No, they
    don't. They will upgrade the size as the cost and complexity of 2.5" drives comes down. The first 2.5" HDD with a 9.5mm height isn't even shipping yet. The rest are taller (12.5mm or thicker). More platters means more to go wrong.

  5. first off LOL@using an SSD...ya sure what are you going to have a $150 250gig ssd thats half the size of the OE drive? or are you going to go crazy and get a $500 terabyte that costs as much as the console with half that size already built in? SSD external
    isnt even logical here so lets not bring those speeds up...most people will be attaching sata II/III drives mainly NON ssd's and will see a significant hit in their transfer/read speeds.

    second...why bring up what ps4 has..its no justification in this matter...we already know external should be supported but it shouldnt be whats needed to expand storage space, just carry storage on the go or backup...upgradeable internal hdd's is and always
    will be whats needed with these.

  6. Yes yes and yes, I think with the PS4 you can change the internal HDD? As much As I love both consoles I think MS has it right with this, it's super convenient for those that already have a few spares.

    So you can't play a game until you install the game?

    If you have slow internet, disconnect your X1 from it. Install the game from the disc then re-hook up the internet. The X1 will try and download patches/updates as it installs if it is connected to the internet. It took about 3 hours before I could play
    Forza 5 on my girlfriends 1.5Mbs connection (6Gb patch.) and about a full day before the game was completely installed. On my connection is was maybe 20 minutes before I could play the game.

    One of the questions I took from the Ambassador chat was from a mother that was trying to get D.R.3 playing for her kids. When we figured out she was trying to install with a 3G cell phone using it as a hotspot (.324Mbs download.), it became obvious it would
    take a couple days.

    Peace, J.R.

    The size of the drive doesn't matter that much. MS has said external drive support is coming. Once it's here just add an external drive to the console.
