150GB are always "missing" in the internal storage. For example, if you have an Xbox console with 1TB, your available space is going to be ~850GB, if your console have 500GB the available space is going to be ~350GB

This happens because the system uses this ~150GB . Is called a reserved space.

I had the same issue.. did the same as said above and it instantly installed.. doesn't make any sense being I have almost a terabyte of free space on my external.. oh well.. lol..

Install internally!!! 🤣

This is the single best price of advice on this forum! Tried it and it worked first time!!

I never understood why they want so much money for hard drive space. My 250GB is maxed and 320GB is just not worth the money. 1 Terabyte laptop drives are cheaper than that. High cost and little space isn't really doing anything other than limiting my marketplace
spending. One would think the idea would have been to offer enough storage to accommodate marketplace spending.

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.
