External HDD is great news, been holding off getting more digital games as space running low.

TV integration in the UK. External hard drives .... Pretty much everything I wanted is coming

 

[JoeBoi]

Sweet, ability to play videos from USB storage next please .

 

[BattFink]

Urgh... really dislike having external hard drives hanging off of a console..

I would much rather have a user replaceable internal hard drive

 

[Purdy]

Awesome news

Get a decent lengthed cable and have it coming from side of xbox to behind your stand or whatever and shouldn't be too bad

Major has been tweeting - according to GAF I've not seen it - that they have been testing a Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 which would be bloody fantastic for a console.

Edit - took link out incase competitor.

 

[antijoke]

4Tb would be pretty good, should last a while.

Well that didnt take long for someone to complain

Not quite that model but very similar. More like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-298-SE&groupid=1657&catid=1659&subcat=941 but the model was STBV4000100. OcUK price looks decent.

Does is have to be USB 3.0 to be larger than 256gb?
I have a 2tb usb 2.0 drive sitting doing nothing.

 

[cu3ed]

No chance would USB 2 be anywhere near fast enough.

That is a good price. My XB1 is at 60% use so don't need one yet, but will buy one when I run low on space. At that sort of price it's not worth the unilstall/reinstall of games.

Thought it had two USB ports on the back for just such a thing?

Nice update good to see there listening to what people want can never have too much space

I think 2Tb will be enough for me though i can't see me using anywhere near 4Tb lol

Guess overclockers heard the news also they have a 2Tb external HDD on this week only haha

Be careful, according to the below any external HDD will need its own power supply

I just bought a 3TB Seagate bad boy in preparation for this, i'm running pretty low on space so this will be good timing.
