Anyone got an external HD connected to their Xbox One? If so what type and how big? I was thinking of going with a 2TB but not sure if I should go powered or a WD passport type.

Thats the article I saw earlier. Just wondering if 7200 rpm will make that big of a difference. I can get a 2TB WD passport for 100 dollars. Not sure if I need 2TB LOL.

Hooked up my 1TB WD MyPassport to it and no problems at all, didn't install any games on it, just checking the media tools, works great.

Ya, another negative on the ONE, small HD... their releasing new versions with bigger drives this season.

should be getting 1TB Units soon, for $100 more,

I said Pfft, Get a USB3 External Enclosure and put a SSD or WD Black Drive in it.

USB3 is Faster than SATA-II.

I found a Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STBV4000100) for 130 USD on Amazon. Pretty tempting.....

the thing you have to look out for is what the max size is for the Controller.

Even USB3.0 has a Max Size Limit,


Sorta like how you cant buy a 4TB Drive and plop it into a 5 year old SATAII mainboard without a driver/bios update.

Eurogamer did a pretty extensive test with different kind of hard drive options connected via USB to the xBox one recently:

the "controller" on the Motherboard... the insides, it has to support up to or beyond a certain size and/or speed.

AH gotcha!
According to THIS ARTICLE MS used the one I mentioned for testing.


So I would assume 4TB would work.
