I did this to my OG XB1 last October. Totally worth the upgrade. It’s not a speed demon by any means but it is faster and smoother. The console runs quieter and generates less heat. These SATA SSDs are very affordable nowadays.

@DIYNorth Год назад

Its is definately worth it

I found that it is a good idea to transfer all the games to an external drive before thinkering with internal drives so that if the Xbox resets it doesn’t wipe out all your games. Once you reset the usual internet connection and user you plug in external and your good to go.

@DIYNorth 11 месяцев назад

That's a good plan.

After the cloning process is finished , you need to boot into a USB drive on PC with Parted Magic then resize 2 partitions eg: user content & I think system/update which is by default only around 12.6 GB , this partition needs to be between 13.89 to 16.85 . I used a offline cloning dock & then Parted Magic to resize the partitions , installed back into the Xbox One S booted straight into the menu , some might have to still use the OSU1 to complete the install .

@DIYNorth 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the input

@Narma-Engineering-Gh 6 месяцев назад

am sure your method will work for me

@farmerJ-zp9dj 6 месяцев назад

My method will work for Xbox One S & One X and will boot straight into the main menu with the OG boot up screen with all your existing data games, settings etc ( no need for OSU1 update ) , but original Xbox One you have to use the Xbox HDDmaster script version 9.0 if you want to copy all your games, saves, settings etc . I've tried Off line cloning the Xbox One OG drive multiple times with a error on the cloning process due to the Dev/sda partition on the OG HDD . Let us know how you go 🤞

@MO-_._- 10 месяцев назад

Reading the comments and your experience, do you need to do the cloning at all if you already had moved the games to an external in a previous effort to speed up my system? Can I just plug any brand new 2.5 in there like a 1T PNY or similar? Thanks for the vid

@DIYNorth 10 месяцев назад

No the cloning was a useless step for me.

Was wondering if you expanded the partition on the new drive to include the extra space on the SSD? Edit. Just noticed that you had to do the offline update, nevermind about my other question 😂

@my80chevettes Год назад

@@DIYNorth I'm doing something similar with a 2tb internal SSD and a 7200rpm 3tb external for my backwards compatible games. I'll be giving the system a thorough cleaning, with new Artic MX5 thermal paste and a custom skin for the outside.

Nice, just the SSD will make a world of difference for the XBox.

@haikal1662 Месяц назад

I want to ask whether a 3.5 HDD can be used to replace the Xbox One fat internal HDD?If it can't, what is the reason it can't, such as whether the HDD doesn't fit in the internal HDD bay/it's not detected by the machine/the connector doesn't fit?

@DIYNorth Месяц назад

I'm not sure if it would fit or not. It should work and the connectors should fits as well, I'm just not sure if the extra size will provide enough clearance to fit in the case or not.

@thediamondman2485 10 месяцев назад

Wait so if you do all the steps that are told, do you still keep the installed games on there when you transfer it to the new ssd?

@DIYNorth 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I had to re-download the games, but all the save state information was stored as it is linked to the XBox account. The disk clone didn't really do what I had hoped as I still had to do the offline system update.

@@Bradley5132 I would go with the SSD as long as the price wasn't crazy different. I think that it would be worth waiting for one to go on sale to get the SSD over the HDD. That said most new HDDs would be a lot better than what comes with the xbox.

@DIYNorth 7 дней назад

If there is downloading involved or if you have slow boot times or loading times it might help. Generally I'm thinking it wont be very impactful.

@sharptoothtrex4486 9 месяцев назад

I do this with a 2TB Solid State Drive as that option is because any Xbox One and Xbox One S/X deserves 2TB Solid State Drives as if I do this.

Will the ssd upgrade help resolve the crashing/freezing issue?

@DIYNorth Год назад

I would say a strong maybe. If you have a software issue the update will solve the problem most likely. If you have a hardware issue with your drive it will fix it as well. However if you have an issue such as overheating then it might not make a difference. That said you can clean it up during the ssd install.

@cheezyfriez12 11 месяцев назад

Are the boot times significantly faster? I bought one of these fat models used recently and I love everything but the boot times. I know it wont make a big difference for games since the original model of XBOX ONE uses sata 2 (3gbps) instead of sata 3 (6gbps) like the ps4 and the other models.

@DIYNorth 11 месяцев назад

It's faster, but also my xbox really wasn't running well before the swap. Some updating might have improved it a bit. Its noticeably faster though.

I'm not sure if I need to wait a few minutes after turning it off or if its in a sleep state and not fully off. It seemed a bit too fast. I'll try again later, but it is much faster than the stock drive. Game loading is also way faster, though I didn't time it. Forza used to take forever, and now its just a few seconds.

so do we need a pc to do this ? was hoping the xbox knew how to create its own partitions durring the formatstoon update

@DIYNorth Год назад

Without trying to clone the drive, you would need the offline system update file on a usb. It should then be able to sort out the new drive. You dont need to run the ssd in a computer first. But you likely need a way to save the update file to a usb.

If you weren’t able to do it properly with the ssd could you technically plug in the original hard drive and it would still work normaly?

@DIYNorth 10 месяцев назад

Like just reinstall the old hard drive back into the XBox like it used to be? If so then yes that shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you know every ones accounts and passwords before doing anything. My younger kids have no idea what their passwords are half the time and rely on their accounts auto filling the password forever. That was the only painful thing, people not knowing their own passwords.

Whats the minimum ssd size ?

Like what is the minimum size the Xbox can run off? I'm not sure but it can most likely run off a 250gb or even a 125gb, but I wouldn't use anything less than a 500gb. The original drive has two problems in my opinion, speed and capacity. I would at a minimum want to keep capacity the same when improving speed.

@chloefletcher9612 Год назад

I have read 500GB is the minimum and it won't boot with less. Apparently only 500GB, 1TB and 2TB are supported, not in between variants. Don't know if this is true but it's what I have read.
