Xbox One X internal SSD upgrade possible? (cloning to 1tb ssd)

I was wondering if you can go larger then a 2TB SSD

No.

1.8Tb is a limit for internal HDD/SSD in XboX One system.

Can I simply put my internal HDD from my recently broken Xbox X into a brand new Xbox X without having to format or hack the HDD? Or is each internal HDD specifically locked to the hardware/console in which it was manufactured?

Btw, I'm not concerned about voiding my warranty on the new Xbox X by opening it.

@topaznutsack You can swap HDDs between consoles, as GUIDs are the same across all XB1X's.

FTC ruled April 11 it's illegal to enforce a consumer opening their electronics voids the OEM warranty, per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15USC50 & 16CFR700) [FTC]

FTC ruled "warranty void" stickers on electronics are illegal & unenforceable, and it's illegal for OEMs to state: "The use of [company name] parts is required to keep your . . . manufacturer’s warranties & any extended warranties intact."

So it would work? Also, the parts that broke in my Xbox One X is are the controller sync module and a small plastic pair of parts that connect the board to the thin front rf board (behind power button). Doris anyone know if/where I can get those parts?

DD doesn't work. The reason being is that it is a sector by sector clone. It will not resize the disk. If he clones a 500gb hard drive to a 1tb hard drive, his xbox will still think he has a 1tb hard drive because the partition doesn't get expanded.

You really don't want to utilize dd for a few reasons:

1. dd doesn't care what information is on a storage medium, as it copies bit by bit... because of this, attempting to transfer data from a non-out of the box console will likely take several days.

2. Windows natively has all the tools required to not only create partition images [dism /capture-image /?], apply captured images [dism /apply-image /?], but also allows one to maintain a backup copy of their partitions as WIMs.

Don't need Linux or Mac or virtual machines: look for Win32 Disk Imager (is free) on Windows, equivalent of dd.

Actually 'dd' is quite fast ... IFF you increase the blocksize on doing the copy. 'dd' also understands reading and writing partial blocks. (IFF == if and only if). Don't use default blocksize. 'dd' will to the read, wait for complete and then do the write and wait for complete. In general you will have to wait for hard drive rotation between each op to get the correct location under the head. If you do small reads/writes - that is a lot of waiting. Good number to use is the size of a cylinder.

ie;

dd if=xxxx of=yyyy bs=10M

// xxxx = source device, yyyy = destination device. 10M is 10 megabytes per read/write

It is correct that dd is a sector-sector copy. You can use ntfscone, (sorry - Linux method only). These can be piped together, ie

ntfsclone --save-image -o - xxxx | ntfsclone --restore-image --overwrite yyyy

// Again, xxxx is source device, yyyy = destination device - don't mess them up.

// command is powerful, and unforgiving.

In either cases partitions must be set up first.

After copying, you will need to use ntfsresize to expand the copied partition data to fill the actual partition size (it is possible to have a NTFS filesystem be smaller than the actual partition - legacy issues, filesystem size recorded in more than one location)

There is no difference.

Yes, the manual on IFIXIT is unfortunately full of errors, please note my comments, then the change should not be a problem

You'd have to use a M.2 to SATA converter board, but yes, it's possible.

Both M.2 PCIe SSDs and 2.5" SSDs will have roughly the same speeds [dependent on drive specs], as both will still be using a SATA 3 interface, of which limits speed to a max of ~550MB/s

M.2 PCIe SSDs can't just work over SATA. You need a SATA based M.2 SSD. The former won't work at all.

Incorrect sir. An adapter or pc wise a o is card with mount would be one in the same.

No, Josh is right. A NVME M.2 PCIE SSD will not work over Sata. It needs access to a PCIE lane directly to the processor, which Sata does not provide.

you need to clone the hdd to the sdd , Microsoft have a weird way from what i can understand because the hdd have 5 sector so you need a software that will clone each sector

Please use the XBOX HDD Master Tool from GBA TEMP, follow the instructions, update the XBOX about the recovery with the OSU file, then it will work again

links to GBA Temp don't seem to work. xboxonehdd-master-5.zip not found

I was able to upgrade my Xbox One X's HDD to a Samsung 870 QVO 1TB without using any cloning procedures. The OSU1 file was not needed either. I simply swapped HDD to SSD booted into recovery and the console immediately took over and began downloading the OS and whatever else was included in the file. Works great, games downloaded and ran without issue.
