Image tease shows external hard drive support on Xbox One

4.5
An Xbox developer has posted a very interesting image to Reddit showing us external drive support on Microsoft’s new console. This major feature is still missing from the Xbox One, but the company seems to be working on it.

Microsoft keeps churning out updates for the Xbox One but many features are still missing from the new console, including support for an external hard drive. The company said this would land on the console in a future update but gave no timetable at the time of the announcement.

Now thanks to XboxOneDev over on Reddit we get a glimpse of what the feature looks like. This seems to be on an internal development machine and it’s very likely this isn’t a final build, andl no ETA was disclosed for the update that would add this.

However, we can’t help but think this and other features might show up in an update closely following E3, where Microsoft is expected to unveil future games and plans destined for the Xbox One.

Are you excited about external drive support or is the console’s 500GB more than enough for you?

This is really an important, with all the games you have to download to play, if you have a decent sized game library you will have to delete a game and then install a different one just to play it. It seems like such a simple feature that its crazy that hasn't been implemented yet. I wonder if they will do some restrictions on what type of external drives you can use like if 2.0 USB's will be allowed or if it will only be 3.0.

They should of had this in the first place

They should've had this supported since the beginning. The memory is going pretty fast, my PS4 is almost out of memory. All these installing games, and downloading these huge updates is really taking the memory.

If it's an xbox one dev, there is a solid chance that is a dev kit. A dev kit would surely support external drives, this really doesn't tease the update at all.
