Hello
I'm planning on getting an external hard drive to use with my Xbox One, and was wondering if a better option would be to purchase the drive and the enclosure myself, to this end I have a few questions.
1) If I buy a WD Green drive, will it outperform (on average) 2.5" external drives?
2) Will i be able to power it with 2 usb3.0 ports? (if so, how?)
3) Does using a usb adapter in a sata3 port slow down the read/write speed of the drive?
Please Note:
It must be usb powered, so I'm mainly looking at the WD Green drives as they have lower power requirements.
A capacity of 2TB is a minimum.
I like WD products as they have always worked well so my preference is with them.
Any other thoughts/suggestions/advice is greatly welcomed
