Edit: My bad please move to support forum if needed Thanks.

But I have this hard drive that I recently have taken out of my PC, but instead of selling was wondering if there was a way i can convert it to work with my xbox one? It needs a SATA to USB im guessing, but just wondering if the xbox one will register it.

Really sorry I didn't specify it is a 3.5" hdd im guessing the xbox one will use a 2.5".

I would have done that if it was a 2.5"

3.5 you you will have to get adaptor to usb to be able to use it then you will have to format the drive once plugged in to the USB port on the side of console

i offer hdd upgrades for xbox one

I would pal, but I live in the UK, as well as having this spare HDD lying around.

So the SATA> USB solution would work then?

Im guessing it will definitely need usb 3.0 connection, would this be ok?

with a 3.5 hdd you will need 12v power supply so doubt this will work

You can but you will need an enclosure for it.

Skip to the 1 minute mark.
