Xbox One Hard Drive Support Coming Soon, Teases Microsoft

i personally hope/wish they give the ability to play music from a hd and use in game... (this would help twitch streamers as well) if/when i go hd u bet its 1tb+ so they better let the cat out of the bag what they will support and i sure hope its not a locked exclusive that sells directly from microsoft as a add on for big dollars.

updated post : due to recent release of info... it is in bold..(did not want to start new thread)

 

Old devices (phones and cameras) used to have maximum size memory cards you can use, is it the same with HD's? I mean will there be spec involved?

 

500 gb is plenty for me since I only install games. I uninstall them as soon as I'm done.

This is good news but it should have been like this years ago.

 

i haven't decided yet, i have a few 2TB drives that i'm not using, but they were for my file server and only 5400RPM, think i'll just hold off until i get closer to filling up my X1(still only at 32% or something like that), but really i'm still even sure
how i want to do it, just a really big drive and leave it, or several big drives in a RAID, or just have several smaller drives and divide the games by genres... so many choices...

 

Hopefully I'll be able to use a 2.5" external drive that requires no additional power, in which case, I'll get a 1TB drive.

 

@ Zero,

Now that you bring up all of those options, I'm wondering if we'll be able to partition the drive?

Games in 1 partition, HD movies in another. Music in another.

 

1 TB is 1K in GB, right? So, a 2 TB drive is 4x the size of the current HDD in the Xbox One, right? In fact, it's probably larger since the system won't be taking up a portion of that space. I currently have 11 games on my brother's XB1 HDD right now and
still have about 25% left. That's a lot of space for games! My mind is spinning just thinking about it...

How much do 2 TB HDDs cost nowadays?

 

I'm going with 4TB. The reason is if there's a limited amount of time to download the free games as part of gold then I don't want to lose any by needing to uninstall to make room for other games. I think that's how it works for the 360, not sure on the
X1. Either way, they drives aren't that expensive.

 

GG,

They're about $100-$150 for a 2 TB

 

good question @bird125, i wonder how/if it sees multiple partitions, or i wonder if they can be routed through a USB hub? i hope E3 will answer these questions.

 

Well, they may not answer until you ask.

 

I just realized that my brother already has 1 or 2 TB external HDD that he doesn't even use any more. I wonder if I could get it from him as a hand-me-down - that way I won't have to spend $100+ on a new one...

 

what about network HD's mine is networked. And if they are allowed will this lead to to a new media setup?
