Xbox One Elite 1 TB SSHD Bundle Now Available for Pre-Order

4.4
Do you want to get your hands on one of those spiffy newly announced Xbox One Elite bundles coming with the Elite controller and a one terabyte solid state hybrid drive? Now you can, as it’s finally available for pre-order.

You can find it at GameStop, Amazon or at Microsoft‘s own store. The price is the already announced $499.99, and it will ship on November 3rd.

Below you can see a couple of pictures, and a lovely 3D view, courtesy of GameStop.

Incidentally, since I’ve seen many get it wrong, the bundle includes a solid state hybrid drive, not a solid state drive. This means that only a small partition of the terabyte you get is a solid state cache. The rest uses a mechanical disk like your usual hard disk drive. While this still offers a nice gain in loading performance for your most used files (for instance the operating system), it’s not as relevant as the speed granted by a full fledged SSD.

That is, by the way, completely unsurprising, considering that a one terabyte SSD costs about $500 on its own, while a SSHD of the same size comes at a much more affordable eighty bucks.

Whom This is ok like I guess bit to much storage space if im honest, Ive got 250G 1-2years later still only on 227G


You don't understand, new games can take up to 50gb each. 500gb is nothing.


this is just nitpicking, but some games are well above 50gb. the master chief collect installed on my xbox is 70.8gb and as you said countless games in the 40-50 mark. also that "500gb" hdd in your xbox only has 365ish gb after everything is reserved for the os and shit.
