I just purchased an external HD for my Xbox One. Generally, i only play Madden, but i do purchase games here and there to fiddle with.

My plan was to move all games not in use to the external HD and leave the current Madden on the console.

I was excited, about getting it set up, and in all the hubub i moved all game including madden over. The game seemed to play fine for the 5 minutes i had to mess around.

Are there any disadvantages I need to be made aware of if i just keep it as is? Will i suffer performance loss playing Madden from the external?

Keep it the way it is because you may actually see a minor improvement in load times and such with the games residing on the external. The USB 3.0 has a faster transfer rate than the internal HDD does (SATA II).

well, right on then, i'll give it a shot. i kept seeing the light flicker on the external every time something on the field was happening, made me wonder if the rate of data transfer was being hindered.

thanks.

did you have to format the drive before putting connecting it to the XBONE? Or did you just connect it and the XBONE formatted it?? I have my old 500gb ps4 HD in a USB 3.0 enclosure that Im thinking of using for the XBONE..
