  • Xbox One released 10 years ago on November 22, 2013. In this video I replace the HDD with an SSD drive and compare load times on various games. Is it worth it to upgrade the Xbox One to an SSD?

    This was a really helpful video! I installed a similar drive and the difference is stunning overall. The way that it woke up my tired v1 XBOne is clear. Menus, in particular, and load times on open world games... it's a lot. Cleaning it up inside helps a lot too :)

    I'm considering doing this to my Xbox One. I don't really care much for the newest and biggest in videogames these days so I'll likely only be playing Halo and Hitman, but they take up almost all my space. Having a large enough internal drive that also makes the console and games load a little bit faster, even if it's only 10-15 seconds, is a good enough upgrade for me! And a reason to clean it's internals after 8 years of use.
    I wonder if there are more (simple)mods to do while I'm already thinking of opening it up...

    Did this to my Xbox One X. Upgraded to an internal SSD and wow. What a difference. That was two years ago and I bought the series X controller. I did own a series x but I sold it since I had a ps5 and the one x runs so well still. I watched this video to see if it was worth upgrading my girls OG Xbox one to an internal SSD for her. Might just get her to upgrade though.

    I use krynoaut grizzle thermal paste. It's a premium thermal paste, but a really good thermal paste for conductivity and longevity. The original xbox one has SATA Il. While the xbox one x\s has SATA lll. So you'll be able to fully utilize 600mb read and write speeds with SATA lll SSDs on the xbox one x/s. It would be interesting to get a xbox one s and put the same SATA lll SSD in it, and compare it to this xbox one to see if there is any real difference in load times between SATA ll vs SATA lll on these consoles.

    • @pathfindercast
      @pathfindercast  6 месяцев назад +2

    Noctua is my favorite thermal paste seems to be a few degrees lower and the best power supply is actually a 203w fat 360 power supply with one of them 5 dollar Xbox 360 to Xbox One AC Adapter thing will outlast everything and gives it a little extra power overhead also im pretty shure fat xb1 used SATA 2 which limits it to 300MB/s the one-s used sata 3 tho which could double it also external hdds can have a advantage because they do not have to load the operating system also.

      I usually can get the cpu pretty clean with isopropyl alcohol and q-tips. If it's really dried out I may use a tiny amount of de-solv-it on a q-tip. For applying new thermal paste, a little bit goes a long way, and I apply a dab about the size of a small grain of rice.

      I installed the drive directly into the Xbox one straight from the packaging. The Xbox will boot up with an error which is why the firmware has to be on a USB drive.

  • @bryanwages3518
    @bryanwages3518 6 месяцев назад

    Did u check to see if the ssd has dram. Then it will slow down as the drive fills up. Dramless drives are extremely slow for boot drives but is perfect for game storage drive

    • @pathfindercast
      @pathfindercast  6 месяцев назад +1

      Interesting point. I did not check if it has DRAM when I purchased, it but the drive I used was a Lexar NS100. I did a little research and the SSD controller is the 88NV1120 Artemis from Marvell, a DRAM cache is not available. Is that good?

    • @bryanwages3518
      @bryanwages3518 6 месяцев назад +1

      @pathfindercast yea you looking for a dram cache. Without the cache the ssd can slow down as slow as a hard drive. That's why they are not recommended for boot drives. They are perfect for game storage drives though. Linus tech tips has a video on why that are not good for boot drives and explains why they slow down. Basically cheap ssds won't have the cache. I'd buy a Samsung drive or a sk hynix drive. You should also fill the drive up and redo the speed test to see if it slows down.
