I did a recent poll, and it seems there was not much of a benefit vs price on a SSD. A hybrid might be a bit better, but the general agreement was a good 7200 rpm HDD was the way to go.

I was planning on getting one with an external power supply, to save wear and tear on my Xbox One, but ones with external power are getting few every day. Might not be that big of deal.

The upside is games will load faster off an external vs the internal drive.

PS No, you can not partion it and use it in other things.  If it's partitioned you could use it for music and movies, but not for storing games.

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"
