Thx Zap any clue on best price to quality picks for a 2 to 4 TB

For external drives, there's not much point in SSD, the price will be ridiculous and the transfer methods will ensure that you can't really take advantage of the biggest plus for SSD; the speed.
Go for a regular HDD, WD, Hitachi and Samsung are all solid, I have the most experience with WD though, I have never had one fail on me, I even have two Greenpower 1TB discs that I bought in 2009 and they're still fine (internal though).

That fucking sucks!  Was really looking forward to filing it with non gaming content!

Agreed!  But better you know now than after you got one and it reformatted and wipe out your pc backup!

it's probably for security reasons.  Not sure if you remember but the original Xbox was completely hacked and people would buy one with a replaced hard drive with ALL the games on it on the black market. 

But, in a pinch you could wipe the games, cause Microsoft has guaranteed you will always be allowed to download them again.

Sounds like you will have to get two devices.

Man it's a freaking pain in the ass to get the actual transfer rate of SataIII to USB 3 actual transfer rate... So if got the consensus correctly a 7200rpm HDD is the way to go... SSHD is useless for gaming cause the NAND is too small and SSD is overkill cause USB3 is the bottleneck???

Now I got to pick a good case... Any feedback on the XBox one media hub from collective mind???

For SSD you can go always with Samsung EVO.

I have an internal SSD for games and another for system/OS, works like a charm since you get to utilize the transfer rates more efficiently (my download speeds are also faster and more stable, my old drive would chug down the DL speed when writing a lot of information to disc from severs.
For external; I would go with HDD for sure, SSD seems wasted for this purpose, in my opinion anyway.

you are talking about your PC right??? Cause I'm talking about my XBO :p

I really wish I could find a good review on,that collective mind add on and especially the actual USB3 transfer rate.

Well, to be USB 3.0 it has to fall in this defination:  USB 3.0 adds the new transfer mode SuperSpeed (SS) that can transfer data at up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is more than ten times faster than the USB 2.0 standard.

As far as the actually Xbox One transfer, it's still faster than the internal Hard Drive that comes with the system.  Most people report games load about 30% faster give or take - which on something like Ryse would be quite notible. 

Major Nelson said he is using a Segate 4T drive. 

A hybrid drive on something like the Xboxone isn't going to do a hell of a lot tho, it's going to try to shuffle the most used item into that tiny SSD space which on most Hybrids is about 8gb, not nearly enough to get a complete game onto. Hybrid drives do wonders for PCs because the OS will put the most accessed program files into the SSD area and off the magnetic old school drive, but yeah, this isn't going to be enough to hold a complete X1 game even if the X1 could manage it well.

As for drives, if you get a Seagate one it seems that as of late their quality has gone to shit, only thing I would advise from my experiences as of late is "anything but Seagate"
