    Upgrading Hard Drive


    We bought an Xbox One S for Christmas and I underestimated how much space the games would take up. Is it possible to buy a larger hard drive and replace the one currently in the Xbox? I did this with our old PS3 and it was pretty easy. Thanks!

    :)

    [quote user="Smiling Cat"]You can also add as many 32GB flash drives as you want. [/quote]

    Not exactly: you can only connect two USB storage devices to the Xbox 360 at time, regardless of how many USB ports your console has. You can format more flash drives or external HDDs for use on the console and swap them if you like, but only
    two devices will be usable at a time.

    upgrading hard drive

    You can also add as many 32GB flash drives as you want. Depends on how many free USB ports you have. I have the 320GB drive and have like 24 games installed plus around 80GB in DLC for games I'm still actually playing. Still have to free up around 30GB a
    month on average since I rent two games a month and buy one plus the games for gold now.

    Upgrading Hard Drive

    Hi

    It is not possible to upgrade the internal hard drive on the console however you can add an external hard drive to the console to expand the storage please see the link below.

    http://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/console/manage-storage





    To use external storage with Xbox One games and apps, your hard drive must:

    • Hold 256 GB or more
    • Connect via USB 3.0

    Upgrading the Hard Drive

    Hello CTclothbagco, for maximum quality and stability it is always better to get an official product or replacement. £300 for a 120GB hard drive is very steep indeed. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives, I myself have seen hard drives (60gb or 120gb)
    for around £30 - £40.

    You could try registering your product and requesting a replacement (if you are out of warranty there will be a fee - but I am sure that it will be much MUCH cheaper than £300 for the HD)
    https://myservice.xbox.com

    Theres always the option to try Ebay or game shops that sell pre-owned items.

    I hope this is helpful for you. My over all advice would be to steer away from unofficial products, they come with more problems then they are worth and they dont support everything on the console smoothly. Thank you.

    Upgrade Hard Drive

    I' am not completely sure about this but to be on the safe side i would not do that.

    One because you could break your xbox.

    Two because you may get banned because it could be counted as modifying your xbox.
