The Xbox One hard drive tests include larger storage drives in the form of the 500GB Samsung EVO SSD, and a Seagate 1TB hybrid SSHD which have been tested by Brian Williams. But are they faster? Check out the Xbox One hard drive upgrade results after the jump.
Williams explains : “Since iFixit posted the first tear down, people have theorized that the Xbox One hard drive was upgradeable. It’s known doing so would void the warranty. I decided to take the chance and measure the performance gains of using Hybrid SSHD and SSD drives, comparing boot and game load times with each. I am still trying to find a way to partition the 1TB Hybrid SSHD to use the full capacity.”
