I've have not had much chance to use my replacement 1tb but have taken it to my offshore work place, installed the Xbox experience and have noticed significant boot up times on quick start compared to my 500gb console in June. Still find disabling network faster to install games from disc. Tempted with the elite with a trade in of £220 value but wondering if it's worth the £180 from me, as I could buy an external ssd for that price.
