xBox One: 500GB enough or is it better to get 1TB?

Same here... 500gb filled up quickly. However, when I added a 2tb drive, games on it load far faster than on the internal drive.

So, I'd say that it might be worthwhile to just get the 500gb, and then follow on with an external drive shortly thereafter.

I opened up my 500 GB and made the move to an SSD--I load into games before anyone else, even with the SATAII limitation.

Running one of these on mine for the last couple years.

Tinkering is fun! If my reading is correct the new S unit implements a SATAIII controller, I have yet to confirm myself however if that were the case adding an SSD would be killer.

Could you post here if you ever find a vid or instructions on swapping out the internal drive to an SSD?
Thanks.

Thanks.

It's a pretty straight-forward process; I need to summarize the guidance I sourced--I'll make that happen
