Part 1. Comparison among XBOX ONE, XBOX ONE S and XBOX ONE X

XBOX ONE, XBOX ONE S and XBOX ONE X are video game consoles introduced by Microsoft. Each one can get users enjoy all games on the platform and all accessories. However, differences exist in hardware configurations and functions of each XBOX ONE edition.

XBOX ONE edition comparison

Functions	XBOX ONE	XBOX ONE S	XBOX ONE X
Compatible with all games and accessories	√	√	√
Support for XBOX Liver servers	√	√	√
Experience 4K Blu-ray and 4K video streaming	√	√
6 teraflops of graphical processing power	√
Stream and record clips in 4K resolution at 60FPS	√
See every frame with 326 GB/sec memory bandwidth	√
Relish 40% more power than any other console	√

From the above table, we can see that the first console XBOX ONE only supports video game playing while XBOX ONE S and XBOX ONE X support 4K Blu-ray and 4K records. XBOX ONE X even processes quicker than the former two editions, over about 40% in speed. Certainly, users can get a better gaming experience.

However, the disk shipped in XBOX ONE X is merely a Seagate 2.5-inch hard disk (model ST1000LM035), with absolutely 5400rpm. Even the 140MB/s peak transfer rate listed in the disk’s data sheet is still bottlenecking the gamer that are accessed frequently. If you plan to uplift the accessing speed, adding an SSD to your XBOX ONE is a good choice.

Game Nexus researchers have ever played XBOX ONE games with the internal HDD and with the external SSD. The test shows the following data:

XBOX ONE x SSD vs HDD results:

Games	Accessing time of HDD	Accessing time of SSD
Assassin’s Creed Origins	35.1 seconds	23.8 seconds
Denisty 2	24.1 seconds	17.7 seconds
Final Fantasy XV	67.5 seconds	23.3 seconds
Monster Hunter	25.6 seconds	16.9 seconds

It is easy to find that the accessing time has been shortened when the XBOX is connected to the external SSD. Especially, Final Fantasy XV clearly has the most to gain from an SSD, with the accessing time reduction of 65%. These results say the necessity of upgrading XBOX ONE with SSD.

We recommend you upgrade your XBOX ONE with an external SSD because Microsoft has decided that upgrading the internal hard disk on your XBOX ONE will ultimately void your warranty. Meanwhile, connecting SSD as the external SSD is very simple. You can save all games in the external SSD to get a better game accessing performance in XBOX ONE.
