Any external hard drive will work as long as it is a 3.0 USB and has 256 GB or more storage

TTG_DolphinsFan wrote Has anyone bought or are using an external hard drive on their Xbox One? If so what brand and size. Any better or worse for Xbox One. I'm looking at buying the Western Digital 4 TB drive. What are you opinions?

Thanks

I just bought one. the one i bought is 1 tb western digital. I already had one but its a usb 2.0 and it was 500. The one i bought is 3.0. The old lasting me for over 5 years already and still working!

I went with the Western Digital My Book 3TB. I decided to go with a powered drive instead of a portable one because I work at Best Buy and I had a customer come in with his son. He bought the powered one (WD My Book 3tb) and his son got the portable version (WD Passport 2tb) They did an installation test with the same game and the father's installation was done and the son's was at 90%. They told me they tried this with 3 different games and the conclusions were the same. Every time the father's was done, the son still had 10% to go. So comparing WD's portable vs. powered hard drives, the powered ones have a slight advantage (about 10% faster) and for anyone who has installed Battlefield 4 or the Master Chief Collection, knows that 10% makes a pretty significant difference. All in all it takes up another outlet but I'd suggest going with a powered one. Here's a link to the one I went with.
