Anybody running or tried running this thing as an external on their Xbox One? Results?

Yes, you can connect this to your Xbox One. In fact, I bought this particular drive just for my Xbox One. By the way, the Xbox Console will ask you if you want to make this as your default storage drive or not. In addition, you can move your files in the internal HDD to the external one or have copies of your games on both the external and internal drive.

I do exactly this. Works great. All games load about 10 seconds faster. Good Luck!

It didn't work for me but has worked for others. I think I was sent a faulty drive or power supply. Read my review of the drive on here.

So very helpful when you see a "no" response and another "yes" response with no elaboration. I just purchased this item today. I plugged it in to my Xbox One and nothing happened. I unplugged and replugged it in and still nothing happened. I turned the xbox off (soft off, not hard reboot) and still nothing. Then I followed the directions at the link below and the drive was detected and i'm moving stuff over there as we speak. http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/console-doesnt-detect-external-storage

Sorry I dont have an xbox,so I cant answer with certainty of experience, but if you can plug in a usb flash drive and the xbox will recognize it, this should work no problem. On A PC when you plug it in it does go through an installation routine, it required no user participation, but it didnt just work like it does when one plugs it in now that installed the drivers. So this means the Xbox has to have the ability to integrate new drivers. If it does not have this ability it probably only works with one that THEY make for it. I have an "Xbox 360" USB wifi adapter a friend gave me, I tried it on several PCs but it doesnt work with any of them and the drivers are so elusive I never found them. So they purposefully have that wifi adapter made so it will only work an xbox, and probably vice versa. They may have the same MO when it comes to external drives also. Sorry I couldnt provide a more certain answer. Troy

You need one of the internal Xbox 360 hard drives. Get the official Xbox branded drives from Microsoft themselves. The 3rd party HDDS are lower quality and can get your console banned. USB devices will NOT work, not even external USB hard drives.

Yes. I currently have the 650 controlling my Xbox One. Support is native, not just a workaround.

I have not personally tried a external hdd, I do know a xbox controller works, a keyboard and a mouse work, make sure the external hdd has its own power source as I tried using speakers and it fried my s3, and small usb flash drives also work,

I don't know if x boz can output game data. need to check with xbox and see if it has a USB port that allows it to save game data. if it does you wont need this large capacity. this can back up all the data on a 256gb hard drive. I have backed up about 120 Gb and it is stable and solid.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

It has worked without any problems for the PS3, XBOX 360 and XBOX one for me. It has been very transparent since I installed it as well.

Try hooking the USB cord to the Xbox into any USB port on the Xbox along with the hdmi cord. That was the only way I got mine to do it- now it plays no problem.

No. All I had to do was to turn off the Xbox 360 and unplug it. install the HD. I believe there are some other steps depending on how many hard drives you have, etc... I did not have to be online.

Yeah, I've figured out as long as I don't start up to the xbox everything is fine. If I start on another input and switch to the xbox it works no problem. No big deal really, just something I have to remember to do.

FWIW, I ordered this drive for use with the Xbox slim, and the Xbox states it does not meet the Xbox specs (that it may not perform to full specifications).

Plugged it in and it said it wasn't fast enough to run games... though it seems to run the one game (risk factions) I did put on it and stores my profile. Waiting to see if there are any other drawbacks.

Yes! That's how I run my my Xbox One, and there are several DSPs specific to gaming through a multichannel LPCM stream.
