Then you can use it for multiple purposes. http://www.newegg.com/Thermaltake-Hard-Drive-Enclosures/BrandSubCat/ID-1379-92 Just pop in one (or 2) regular internal HDs and your good to go. You can format it by attaching it to any computer and using Windows Disk Management http://www.pcworld.com/article/248980/how-to-partition-and-format-your-hard-drive-in-windows.html Upvote 0 Downvote

ubercake Splendid Oct 28, 2009 7,270 5 29,815 Jul 16, 2015 #5 Toshiba makes a 7200rpm USB 3.0 drive. I just bought the 5TB versions for my Xbox One last month. The performance is at least as good as the internal: http://www.microcenter.com/product/431813/Canvio_Desk_5TB_7,200_RPM_USB_30_Desktop_External_Hard_Drive_-_Black If you have a microcenter by you, it runs $130. It's a little louder than I like, but it works great. I actually could not believe it works as good as the internal, but it does. Now I can get all of the free games with gold without having to uninstall. The Xbox One takes care of the formatting when you attach it. Upvote 0 Downvote
