So most people know that you need a 250gb + external drive for the Xbox One to allow you to install games on it.
I always thought this was frustrating because ssd normally go 60, 120, 240. And I found 256 were a lot more expensive per gb.
Any way, last night, spurred on by vague claims of success in various Reddit posts, I tried it last night.
Steps I took to make it work were….
"Cleaning" the disk with diskpart.
Initialising it with MBR (as opposed to GPT).
Created one simple volume but didn't format it.
After that, I put it in the Xbox and it detected it and have the usual options of using it for media or formatting it for game storage and I formatted it and it worked.
I don't know if it matters but I'm using a Sandisk Extreme. Shows up as 223gb in Windows.
The only test I ran in terms of performance was Rise of the Tomb Raider where I got 100 seconds, 85 seconds and 50 seconds going from "desktop" to game play from the 500gb stock internal, a 2TB Portable Seagate and then the SSD.
Also, I was using this enclosure
I didn't, why is this?
