    Which external hard drive can use?


    Dear Support Team,

    what external hard drives you can use?
    What recommendation are available from
    Microsoft?

    Can I use a 2.5 inch disk?
    Or it must be a 3.5 inch with external power supply?

    Bye



    :)

    External Hard Drive. Which one?

    Hey Lei Fang, glad to see you got your Xbox One, welcome to the Next Generation. Major Nelson uses the Seagate Expansion 5TB. I found this to be satisfactory myself, as I am using the same one. Just 3 TB.

    External Hard Drive. Which one?

    [quote user="xXxRubiconxXx"]Im thinking about getting the Buffalo drivestation ddr because the speeds are comparable to that of ssds[/quote]It's not. All the advertising that says things like that forgets why SSDs rule the roost - random access times. Doing
    multiple things on an SSD or reading data from lots of different locations are a SSD's forte. You will not see the benefits of an SSD on an SSHD or any other caching system. May as well just get a HDD.

    xbox 1 storage

    You are using transfer, which is to move the contents of your internal hard drive to the external hard drive instead of copying, you do not need to manually delete the contents of the internal hard drive (because they are already on the external hard drive).

    Xbox one external hard drive games audio crash

    Hello Vash,

    Thank you for keeping us updated. There are some instances in which games on an external hard drive do not receive updates. We recommend moving around some of the games on the internal and external hard drives. Since your internal hard drive is full, you
    can move some of them to the external hard drive. Once the internal hard drive has some extra space, we suggest moving some of the games from the external hard drive to the internal. Check to see if those games require any updates. Be sure to let us know the
    results!

    Want and Need bigger HDD...bigger than 320

    Hey, as far as I'm aware 320 GB is the largest HDD currently in production, however you can purchase an external hard drive and connect it via USB which can be formatted and used for space. External hard drives are available with more than 1 TB of space,
    which should be more than sufficient. Hope this helps.

    Formatting Hard Drive

    The Format Hard Drive function is also there so that you can format external USB 3.0 HDD's with the appropriate Xbox partition for saving games etc. By default, a new external HDD would come with a FAT or NTFS partition which cannot be used for installing
    Xbox games. A NTFS partitioned external hard drive can be used however for extended Game DVR clips.
