Anyone have any recommendations external storage wise? I'm looking for a good ex hard drive, not cheap garbage, but not gonna break the bank.

I have the Samsung T3 SSD. I love it and it's extremely easy to set up. Effectively, plug and play.

I'm running low on space also an was thinking about getting an external hard drive. Does it just plug into one of the usb ports on the x1? I never used one before so not sure how it works.

Yessir. You plug it in and I believe I had to click the A button three times. Took all of 60 seconds.

Then, you go to the Storage within settings and move the games over to the new SSD. That didn't take long either.

Instructions are here:

I believe it's the third point and includes a video.

You have been very helpful.
This is the one I'm thinking about buying what do you think.

For pure space, that is a good option. However, if you want additional speed, I would recommend that you look elsewhere.

I read that the older version of this HDD performs identically to the XB HDD (I believe the older version was a 5400rpm drive and I can't tell what this drive is).

My friend has the Touro S HDD, which is a 7200rpm drive. It is much quicker than the standard XB HDD.

You dont have to pay the 90$, can use others that dont have Xbox on the case.

This 1 here is cheaper

Ive got a Samsung and a WD in use although one of them is only 1TB so looking at replacing it with a 2TB.

EvilSoul1321 · September 7, 2017 8:34PM

Yeah I couldn't find out what the RPM of it was either. The other one that i was looking at maybe getting is 7200rpm. Its also about the same price

CosmicStriker · September 7, 2017 8:44PM

i've got the 1tb and ok with the size of the game.
i've got 5 battlefield games installed on it, 3 borderlands games
and ESO and Fallout, and i still have 200gb free.

This is a pretty comprehensive list. For me, I wanted speed plus storage. If you are going to add a drive and don't want to spend for an SSD, I would recommend a 7200rpm drive. You will receive benefit from it.

FireteamRED · September 7, 2017 9:08PM

Got 2TB 7400rpm and a 250gb SSD myself. I move the games I play currently to the SSD and let the ride sit in the bigger 2TB external.

Defiance1982 · September 8, 2017 4:09AM

I use these 2. My main played games go on the SSHD. I load Battlefield 1 first everytime and I have to sit there and wait for the other 29 players lol.

Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Hard Drive (ST2000DX002)

Then they are installed in this case

The Seagate Game Drives are only 5200 RPM. I sold my 4 TB Game Drive because of that.
