Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Upgraded my Xbone with a 5TB external HDD

Kirin_gaming on 13 March 2015

I have a 1TB SSD on both my PS4 and XB1 from my old RAID 0.But it isn't a good value at all xD

That one is perfect nice find!

Do you notice that games load faster? I saw someone do a test, can't remember if it was the higher speed or not, but seemed like games loaded 30% faster.

Also, great buy. I am at 70% full on my launch 500GB and think it's going to be time soon.

But as games keep getting bigger, Ryse is 37GB on my system, and Star Citizen is like 100GB, and the way you buy, you might need another one in a few years. :p



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Hopefully that lasts you, Seagate HDDs have the highest failure rate.  I really wish PS4 would get external HDD support already.

Awesome, you should be set for a good long while!

I currently have a 2TB external. The thing is so tiny, just sits there next to the XB1 and you can barely see it looking from the front. Hoping it lasts for a while, but with game sizes these days you never really know x_x

Hard drives? As in magnetic tracks and heads? People still voluntarily use that primitive 19th century junk?

The 500GB hard drives are simply too small. Getting a 3tb for my PS4 & XBO real soon. Your 5TB should last you a looong time.

Samsung sold their harddrive business to Seagate. They wanted to concentrate on SSD's instead.

Sorry, what were we talking about? I saw your avatar and I seem to have forgotten...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I got a 4TB one, wish I bought the one that didn't have to plug into the wall. Already 10.4% full, full list of Xbox One games in my sig that are using up that space


The ones that need an outlet are better. They have another power source other than USB so the transfer rates are better and the load times should be faster i imagine.
