have been given an Xbox One as a Gift as my friend has upgrade their console to the to the Series S. This is so that I can play standard titles like Minecraft to Fortnight. Of course, I will be able to play all the older title’s fro when I had my xbox 360 so a huge upgrade from what I’m use too.
I was able to research the specification of the xbox one and I’m amazed (ref vid) how it better for certain areas than the series S. This is however with a SSD installed.
Now, I have watched a few videos on how to do this
Change the Hard drive over, download the boot drive from the xbox website onto an USB and then ‘repair install’ which should let you have a new xbox one with a lot faster x5 read and write speeds. 500mb over the 100mb average. (I’m unsure if the xbox knows it has an ssd over the hdd so long term this might effect the sdd if the xbox thinks it’s a hdd and where it writes too etc but presently I’m not to worried).
My questions are
Is 500gb enough for a few games or do you need the whole 1tb?
The SSD with 500gb is going for £39.00 over the 1gb version at £90 ish. I Honestly do not mind uninstalling games worst case as the free Xbox one is to get me gaming. So the loading speed of almost over a minute per load screen on some title’s saved is the reason I wish to upgrade. However as I’m so out of the how big games are I Honestly do not know how much space is needed today.
Again, I’ll probably be installing last gen games as I have decade worth of games to catch up on.
New thermal paste?
Is it worth while I’m there to renew the thermal past of the console? It’s been 5 years of use so I assume the paste must be hard now.
Thank you for the help.
