Xbox One 4TB Hard Drive Released

4.5
The Xbox One, thankfully, allows for its internal on board storage to be augmented with external hard drives- I say thankfully because all games must be installed on it before they can be played, and games are massive in file size- when patches alone can be nearly 20GB, the total space taken up by a single game can often be 60, even 70GB.

With this new hard drive for the Xbox One, released by Seagate, lack of storage space will never be a problem for you again- not unless you flat out crazy in terms of the number of games that you buy. This hard drive has 4TB of space, which means that, given an average file size of 50GB per game, you can store 80 games on it. The official page for the hard drive advertises a capacity of 100 games, which is probably closer to the truth, honestly. In any case, it’s absurdly more than you will ever need.

Lol they need 4TB of memory bc games take like 25 GB each game

I'd like to pick it up but 4 TB seems like a bit much. I have an external that would be more than sufficient. It would be nice to be able to play any game I wanted without having to reinstall it though.

This looks great!

While i wouldn't of thought this was reasonable a few years ago, when you take into account the ever growing hard-drive space required from newer titles it's completely valid. I've pretty much boycotted Sony so i think i'll get something like this in the near future :)

Wasn't expecting MS to release a HDD any time soon, no doubt it will be more expensive than other HDD's on the market.

Wow a 4TB hard drive that's insane, Would you really need that much?

Craig 4TB??? Couldn't you just add an external drive to it anyways?


yes but this is Microsoft branded and supported. So pretty much no difference.

Damn, I bought the Elite edition for the 1TB SSHD, I might just find a compatible external, kinda wish they released this sooner.
