I'm going to argos today (have a e10 voucher) and just wondering what external hard drive would be the best to buy for Xbox One?

Thanks for any help.

I've had the portable one connected to my xbox for a few months and it works perfectly, never had any problems with playing games from it and 2TB should be more than enough, I still have 1.6TB free space.

After installing the 2TB hard drive internally in my Xbox ONE. I had 1.7TB of space after the operating system etc. took it's chunk from it.

Have now installed 40 'FULL' games as well as their DLC's such as all the BF4 expansions etc. I still have 1.2TB of space free!

The 2TB is definitely more than enough space for anyone for the foreseeable future!

What did you do with the 500GB hard drive that you took out of the XB1?

Can it be reformatted and placed into the casing of the other drive you bought?

maybe when my warranty runs out I'll have to give that a go myself, or maybe just get Misky to do it for me

I haven't done anything with it at the moment tbh. It can be formatted and used on pc or for anything if you want but I just haven't bothered yet tbh.

Only thing slightly putting me off doing so is the fact that you can't factory reset your xbox one with the 2TB hard drive in it. As it won't boot after doing this, it will give error screens and also a **** attack to me! :P

It creates partitions based on a 500gb HDD is the reason why.

So after this happened, I had to put stock HDD back in xbox and it worked perfectly, then factory reset xbox, then re-format 2TB HDD on Linux again for use in the XB1, then swapped them over and restart downloading your games with the new hdd in it, or transfer them from an external like I did with most of mine.

Btw, reason it needs to be factory reset is after you put 2TB into Xbox, it will show up as 0% used but all your games and apps will still think they're installed.

I'm surprised voice commands aren't supports in Ireland as of yet. Any idea as to when this may be happening?

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/feature-availability

Oh anther thing is that now my xbox is turning on my tv which is pretty cool, it's just that it's turning it on to the old analogue tuner rather than hdmi1. Is there a way to make it turn onto hdmi from the start up?

Voice commands work in Ireland for a while now. I only posted this in a similar thread earlier.

Voice commands work if console set to Ireland for months now. Go to Settings>System switch region to Ireland and an option will pop up to the right of Ireland for you to choose what language to enable voice commands in, set to English (U.S) or English (U.K) and restart, and you'll now have Irish store and voice commands.

No it's not, my mistake.

I meant to post this portable hard drive which will work by just plugging in the USB.

So my xbone is giving me a little bit of grief, nothing massive though

So the problem is that when I insert a new disk it does not read the disk at all,
take it out put it back in same thing, take it out and put it again it works fine

So obviously not ideal however I have a feeling this is just going to lead to an eventually dead xbone

So just wondering what exactly is the situation with replacements, I presume I do it with Xbox rather than with gamestop? any suggestions or comments

Thanks

have you tried pressing the xbox button for 10 secs? flushing the ram

-Toppy-

Ah yeah loads of times I have done the hard reset, (am a member of the preview program so have had to do it a few times as a result )
There definitely is some form of tray loading issue going with my xbone

Quick question; Is your Xbox plugged in directly to the power source or do you have it connected to a Power Surge adaptor?

-Toppy-

Ya I saw Calex's post about it the other day, I can definitely switch it to be directly plugged into a socket, ya think it will make a difference?

It causes stability issues if it's plugged into an adaptor due to the Xbox 1 having it's own surge protection. Some issues with power regulation.

I for one noticed a big difference in the general response times in menu navigation etc..

Never know it's worth a try.

I just had this problem and they sent me a replacement/ refurbished model. Chat with them on support.

How long did it take ADarKKnight?
I dont really want to be without mine too long

ADarkKnight88

They sent me the replacement just under two weeks ago, came three days after I contacted them, and I just sent back mine there. They put a hold charge on your credit card until they recieve yours back.
If you dont want the hold charge you can send your broken one first and wait for the replacement, which means you'll be without it for a while.
It was a simple process in the end to be fair.

Lads, all the HDMI ports have died on my TV, I have tried for 2 days to sort the issue but have had no luck yet. There is a VGA connection on the TV also, can I use a HDMI to VGA for the Xbox One and where would be the best place to get one?
