Great video! Used your vid for a HDD to SSD swap on my xbox one and gave her a cleaning with some fresh thermal paste. Just finishing with the update and I'm ready to start installing games!
Thanks! Just a heads up for others who tried, i tried to do what the microsoft page said, looked up OS Version and chose OSU2 as it instructed me, got error, went straight for OSU1, no problem! I will comment, it seems console startup isnt noticeably faster, but scrolling menus on home page is smoother so i call it a win!
Xb one turned on then off - thought I was going to have to upgrade consoles. Found this gem of a video - followed instructions to the T - worked like a charm. $75 for all items max.
Great tutorial but I had to hold the sync & eject button then push power button until I heard two beeps. Only then did my Xbox recognize the USB and started the update automatically. Still worked just like your video. Went with 2.5” SSD @2TB. Now moving my games from external to internal and transfer speeds went from 120-150Mbps to 450-600Mbps!
No, a 4tb hdd can also be used, but it will be necessary to pass more, i.e. the maximum partition of 2tb will have to be increased manually to 4tb, through applications on pc
Need to get myself that usb-sata cable. My xbox died and having tried and failed with the osu1 as is, i'll be doing a tear-down soon enough Good video - and thanks for clarifying the SSD min size too
Thanks for this man! Just did this --- and followed the instructions, worked great! And it clearly made a big performance. Went with a two terabyte WD SSD drive.
If someone gets the E101 error, just press the sync and eject buttom the same time before pressing the start button untl it beeps 2 (without usb in console) or 3 times (with usb in console).
I think this is probably one of the best instruction videos i have seen on internet - but i have one question - if you are replacing the drive, what about everything on the old drive, does that not need to be transferred to new drive ?
Thanks for the video. Really helpful. This is the best instructional video I have seen on UA-cam. You should train UA-camrs how to make these kind of videos.
So I did this using the hard drive linked here, and everything seemed to go just fine during the switchout, but when I fired it all back up and turned it on I get no video.. Anyone know what may be causing that? The device powers up and makes some chimes, but no video at all.. I am guessing maybe I knocked something loose inside?
Wow.... im looking days over a days over found a video like this, quickly, simple, and good explaining. I have a xbox one fat so, tell me why the first ssd wouldn't work?? And i just enter to the microsoft page and the page says me that for the fat versions, i need to install 2 osus wtf, you just installed osu1 and runs perfectly. I have in mind buying a new hard drive to my xbox.. good video greetings from chile.
Great great great tutorial. This work great for me, but I have a concern. I installed a 960 gig SSD from Kingston, but the Xbox is only seeing it as 365 gigs. Is the issue where you have to buy either a 500 gig SSD or 1tb SSD or 2 terabyte SSD still an issue?
Thanks for the kind words. There wasn’t much of a speed increase. I think loading screens go a little quicker, but it’s still about the same as it was before.
hey loved the video, by chance does your kinect work with this latest update? i had to do something similar and im getting an error stating "there was a problem with kinect" even when the kinect isnt attached. so im trying a reinstall of the os to see if that will help... but any suggestions as to why that could be happening?
Hi I have a og xbox one sometimes it shuts off during startup some times I can play for hours before it shuts off. Start up is slow in my opinion as is downloading games and nearly everything. I know it’s not overheating because I completely dissembled the console and applied new thermal paste to try to fix my issue it did not. Could this be a hard drive issue? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated
Excellent tutorial mate I had already cloned my drive to ssd but when I attempted to copy the partions back to a mechanical drive to sell the xbox it wouldn't recognise the drive in aomei strange I just used your partition tutorial & saved a headache lol thank you 👌
I have the same question. trying to update my SSD now. glad that I was correct in diagnosing the hard drive as the problem because now its lighting up the TV lol
I thought the Xbox hard drive had to be specially formatted as exFAT and assigned multiple partitions with unique names via a PowerShell script in order for it to work? Does booting with the OSU1 thumb drive bypass all that?
what's the purpose of connecting the drive to pc? can I just install it to the device without any formatting or copying? I'll reinstall everything once I restart my xbox, is that gonna work?
Hey, great video, just a quick question, i did buy a Xbox one Elite with 1TB Hybrid drive. I want to put a 2TB SSD in it. The console is used, but has nothing on it from me, so i want to whipe it clean completely. If i follow all steps you say in this video exactly, would that work for my Situation too? Or would this not work with a 2TB SSD in a Xbox One Elite? It would be great if you could help me out here.
I'm looking at opening my Xbox to clean and re paste . Looking at this I may change the drive to SSD for more storage . Can I ask if you noticed faster loading even using apps and starting up games
I don't have anything happening on tv and no second beep when trying to boot into troubleshooting. Ordered a new SSD today and hopefully I will be able to get some life into it again. Otherwise this thing is going to the dump
is this process applicable to hdd's? i might replace my old hdd since it might be too old bcoz i bought my xbox one console seperately and it might be damaged. I just want to know if i can do this procedure to hdd because i love the tutorial didn't get any buffs in my brain
To make sure the console works when I try it, I'm not going to fully reassemble it immediately or plug it in to my TV, instead using a USB capture card to my laptop screen with OBS in that case.
I'm shocked it works without any pc software that sets up XO partitions! All other tutorials are based on cloning original hdd or setting up the partitions with pc software. Does it wirks also on ONE S/X? as well Really, no software needed? Really partitions are setted up during usb installation? Bedt regards!
When formatting the drive on the computer do I need to use the usb 3 to sata adapter or can I connect it to the inside sata power and data cable on the pc and formate it that way without having to buy the cable?
Yeah I don’t see why not. You should be able to connect it as a SATA drive and format it. I probably would have done it that way if I wasn’t making a how to video. I actually considered doing it that way but thought it might add some confusion if folks had to enable the SATA ports on the motherboard or something.
what are some common things that would tell you the drive has failed ? Have a one x that turns on for 30-45 seconds and then powers off no input to the tv either someone said the drive needed replaced do you think that could possibly be it ?
Hey bro I have the same problem xb1 Whats the fastest speed and biggest capacity the Xbox can accept internally without rejecting it or failing to read Is there a certain connector type I need the ssd to be made in Thanks in advance
so long as its 500 plus. I just follows the above steps, and put in a 512 SSD I snagged out of a laptop with a bad motherboard. so long as its over 500 the system will allow you.
I have this xbox and am looking to fix it up. I've ordered a couple parts and doing this replacement is the main objective. However I am interested in replacing the CPU if possible. I read that this system uses an APU called jaguar, which to my understanding acts as a dual functioning chip (both CPU and graphics). Does anyone know the possibilities of replacing it with something a little bit newer? Right now I am just trying to do some research to get more insight on processing units in general, but if anyone has done this or could provide some links for any related info that would be great. Thanks!
This is just how a tutorial should be. No endless crap, just a quick tour through the proces!
AMEN!
Just swapped a failed hdd with an ssd using your easy to follow video. Now my daughter and I can continue playing monster hunter rise :) Thanks!
Excellent! Must be an Engineer who created this tutorial. Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you!

im pretty sure the startup sequence is stored on the built in, not removable flash memory, and that's why its a bit slow coz its also a bit old now
Perfect guide, thanks to you I was able to solve the problem on my Xbox 🙏
Glad it helped, and thanks for the Super!
Subbed for the concise no bs tutorial presentation alone.
Thanks brother. Appreciate you
@@thefiXfiles I just upgraded my old Xbox one to a 1tb SSD following this guide and it couldn’t have gone smoother.
Me too. Good video
Honestly thank you. I literally have gutted my xbox and been beating my head over the table for 9 hrs until I stumbled on to your tutorial
Glad it helped!
Xb one turned on then off - thought I was going to have to upgrade consoles. Found this gem of a video - followed instructions to the T - worked like a charm. $75 for all items max.
Thanks for this Tutorial Dude! Smoothest Guide I've watched to date! Everything on Point! & worked like a charm! Total Legend!
Great tutorial! I just upgraded to the same 1TB Crucial SSD on my 1st gen Xbox One and everything went great. Thank you again!
Just wow. This is the one and only tutorial anybody should watch. I'll be using this tutorial to fix my Xbox One X sometime in the future.
Glad it helped!
Great tutorial but I had to hold the sync & eject button then push power button until I heard two beeps. Only then did my Xbox recognize the USB and started the update automatically. Still worked just like your video. Went with 2.5” SSD @2TB. Now moving my games from external to internal and transfer speeds went from 120-150Mbps to 450-600Mbps!
My Xbox isn’t recognizing my usb drive either. Holding down the sync and eject buttons isn’t fixing the problem. Any ideas?
@@joshuannamdi5242 Keep trying, took me like 6-7 attempts to get the beeps then all of a sudden started working
@@dustylyle1133 the issue was my USB drive. I used second USB drive and the Xbox recognized that one.
Fantastic guide. My old Xbox lives another day. Thank you
Glad the internal can be upgraded. A 2tb is the max to be used as another video stated.
No, a 4tb hdd can also be used, but it will be necessary to pass more, i.e. the maximum partition of 2tb will have to be increased manually to 4tb, through applications on pc
Do I need the USB to SATA adapter or can I just Connect the SSD to my Internal SATA?
Great Video, did the replacement just now and it worked like a charm. Thank you!
It is faster?
Is the hard drive being bad the thing that won't let a console update finish
What a GREAT tutorial! Right to the point and no bs!
Need to get myself that usb-sata cable. My xbox died and having tried and failed with the osu1 as is, i'll be doing a tear-down soon enough
Good video - and thanks for clarifying the SSD min size too
Got my xbox working. I purchased the same 1tb ssd you used. Big thanks.
Glad I could help. Enjoy!
Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to successfully replace my failed HDD.
Sweet! Glad you got it working.
Thanks for this man! Just did this --- and followed the instructions, worked great! And it clearly made a big performance. Went with a two terabyte WD SSD drive.
Wow great video saved me a ton of time and headache. Very clear to follow and execute.
If someone gets the E101 error, just press the sync and eject buttom the same time before pressing the start button untl it beeps 2 (without usb in console) or 3 times (with usb in console).
Thank you, the surprise battlefront gameplay is awesome. I fuggin love that game.
Same here!
I owe you a beer or your beverage of choice! Thank you kindly sir, you saved my xbox.

Thanks for the kind words. I try to respect people’s time so they can get stuff fixed and get back to life.
This was an awesome tutorial video. Keep up the good content
Fair play literally One of the best how to do. Thank you , ALSO tks as i was going to use a 250G ssd
Do you know the max storage capacity for the xbox one?
I heard 2 TB SSD or HDD
Great guide- however, I do not have a startup animation anymore. Is there any way to get it working without yanking it back out?
👏👏👏👏👏 Well done. I thought my One was done. Had a 1TB I just pulled from my Dell laptop worked perfectly. Thx
You really did an outstanding job on this video. Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
I put a 960G SSD but the Xbox only recognizes 365G. Do you know what it could be
04:48 Its not "Create part prime" but "Create part prim" that worked for me.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
hey sorry , my xbox one s is with black screen , can i replace the hard disk with the one frome an xbox one ( the old version)
So I did this using the hard drive linked here, and everything seemed to go just fine during the switchout, but when I fired it all back up and turned it on I get no video.. Anyone know what may be causing that? The device powers up and makes some chimes, but no video at all.. I am guessing maybe I knocked something loose inside?
Thank u so much! Fab video. Followed to a T and now have two xboxs in my room for couch playing with remote play
Nice! Glad it helped you get it working👌
@thefiXfiles yer really good vid. Have a xbox one x on main TV and xbox one on remote play via laptop.
Just curious. Is it necessary to cmd the new hard drive? Other than the prime input it looked as if you just did an ntfs format.
Thank you. Was able to revive and keep using the Xbox. Much appreciated.
Great to hear!
Great tutorial it worked for a 2tb
Thanks a million
Wow.... im looking days over a days over found a video like this, quickly, simple, and good explaining.
I have a xbox one fat so, tell me why the first ssd wouldn't work??
And i just enter to the microsoft page and the page says me that for the fat versions, i need to install 2 osus wtf, you just installed osu1 and runs perfectly.

Same for me.. did you got a solution ?
Do we really need to configure or not cab we just plug it in
can you clone the disk on windows? why the usb pendrive update?
The best video ever thank you so much for sharing ❤
Or use Disk managment, it's a GUI version of diskpart. Right click on your start button and select it. It might be called "DIsk manager" in English.
Thanks a million, worked like a charm!!
quality video bud. did the xbox load faster with the ssd?
Thanks for the kind words. There wasn’t much of a speed increase. I think loading screens go a little quicker, but it’s still about the same as it was before.
How much avail space you had after the upgrade?
hey loved the video, by chance does your kinect work with this latest update? i had to do something similar and im getting an error stating "there was a problem with kinect" even when the kinect isnt attached. so im trying a reinstall of the os to see if that will help... but any suggestions as to why that could be happening?
yo i did this the last time Like 4 years ago, does this still work?
Idk if my tool set is different but t9 feels very sloppy, mine is definitely a t10 on those top screws

The best freaking tutorial, amazing bro, you the freaking goat, be careful or I'll kiss you if I see you on the streets
You have to format the hard drive before installing into Xbox?

I thought the Xbox hard drive had to be specially formatted as exFAT and assigned multiple partitions with unique names via a PowerShell script in order for it to work?
Does booting with the OSU1 thumb drive bypass all that?
Uses command prompt for disk partition. Okay, he knows his way around a PC. Then uses Internet Explorer........... lol. Great tutorial.

Yeah you can use a MacBook. The commands will be different, and I don’t know them. It’s definitely possible though

2TB is the max limit
I managed to rip my ribbon cable since I didn't separate the top and front panels :( Upvote to warn other to not make same mistake!
I currently play Thief simulator on Xbox one and I was hoping to try this to get load times a little faster but I'm not sure now.
Yeah it was about the same. Loading screens were a little faster after but nothing crazy.
thanks
