  2. Reasons why I won't get the Xbox One or any Microsoft product from now on unless changes are made immediately.

    I agree 500GB isn't a lot of space and hopefully Microsoft will someday allow external HDD like the Wii U (i think?)

    @ ScreamingPyscho MS already have, they just have not confirmed IF you will require a proprietary USB 3.0 compliant external HDD or if you can use any brand of USB 3.0 compliant external HDD.

    does any external HD work with XB1?

    Any USB 3.0 external HDD with at least 256gb will work with the X1.

    Seagate hard drives are the only ones known to cause issues, but any other external hard drive should be fine. You can only use up to 2TB though.

    There are some games that require an MS hard drive to run, but outside of those games you can use any external hard drive to store games.
