Forgive my ignorance but you seem pretty knowledgable about these parts and I know nothing about computer hardware - I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2S6ZUQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HH0wCbY7KF72G and ran FH3 off it fine but now when running FH4 off it I'm getting "stability issues" with random crashes - switched to the internal and still having issues. Judging by the price difference I assume the HD I have now isn't good enough to run the new game without these issues but neither is my internal hard drive apparently....so if I get a better external HD I won't have these problems(I ask because the cheapest ones look to be 150$+) Seems kinda insane they built a game that's so advanced the consoles it was made for cant even run it properly.

This toshiba 1tb is cheap, fast (usb 3.0 transfer) and convenient. You don't need to mess with enclosures and it's a lot of space.

Edit: rpm's don't matter much when watching movies. The important thing is a good transfer speed. With USB 3.0 it transfers for me 80mb - 100mb per second when i'm transferring huge games, movies or large photo files. :)

I bought a 1TB Toshiba one off of Amazon. I've had it for two years now, and haven't had any problems. Games saved on there don't lag at all.

I have Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB Portable Hard Drive - Black (HDTB310XK3AA) with a y cable and it works perfect.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I just ordered this from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N2S6ZUQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There isn't one for power and one for data; the two are combined for this drive.

Yay thanks for the tech stuff contest :D

For me, I'd greatly appreciate a Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB Portable Hard Drive :D It has a very practical use for me. Recently, I've gotten back to studying and experimenting with game development. Since my focus is on 3D world, that means I also have to create a lot of 3D objects and even 2D textures and maps for my characters and items. The assets I create usually consume gigabytes worth of space on my current drive because there's so many of them! I've also used up my other 1TB external drive because I've been saving all my educational material and experiments there. Recently, I had to delete older training material from my old 1TB external drive just so I could save the new ones I'm learning. With a new extra 1TB drive, I wouldn't have to worry about deleting previous and current work and learning materials from my computer and external drive and I'll be able to focus more on quality instead of trying to compress everything into lower quality versions.

Thanks in advance :D

PM Sent. Will these work?

.mp3 - Toshiba Canvio Basics 1 TB portable HDD - Black for $49.99 (listed as their "#1 best seller" for that size).

.FLAC - Toshiba Canvio Basics 2 TB portable HDD - White for $72.99. (The black version is $8.00 more.)

Both drives are Prime eligible.

(I linked to smile .amazon.com and hopefully you will too! That way a portion of your purchase goes to your favorite charity. Personally, I donate to the ASPCA with every Amazon purchase I make.)

So, regarding this hard drive:

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-Drive/dp/B00N2S6ZUQ/

It's the only reasonably priced 1TB one that I can find. I see that it doesn't have its own AC power source, which is fine as my power strip by the TV is near full as it stands. However, I've seen that people have issues with HDDs such as these because the drive can't pull enough power from the Wii U. Does a Y-cable completely mitigate this issue, and if so is there any certain one that people recommend with it? Sorry about all the questions, just trying to get the best bang for my buck here. Everyone commenting has been very helpful. However, the wiki doesn't seem to be all-inclusive and the hard drives it links to are currently more expensive than I can justify.

I have used this drive for a while now without issues, it is only a 5400RPM drive but the performance gains from a 7200RPM drive is minimal. The main reason why I got this drive is that the matte plastic matches the plastic around the xbox disk drive and also the vents if you like making things match. A word of warning though you will need to reformat the drive through a PC (Windows / Mac / Linux) before it will work on the Xbox One, if you go with it just let me know what type of computer you have and I can give you some help in doing so it will only take 5mins and not cost a dime.

If you want cheep, Toshiba is the brand that I would say has a good blend of quality for the price.

Don't worry much about brands and such though, everyone will get a lemon now and then regardless of drive, but thats why we have warranties; also most of the drives are sourced from the same factories as the other guy.

Yes I meant to say BUT.
