    Hi folks,

    I have most of my stuff on an external drive attached to my one but I have a second drive that I want to copy everything over to.
    there is a second one coming into the house so I want to have the second drive set up for this too and don't want to have to install everything again if I can get away with it.
    Anyone ever done this?

    Tip

    That should work no problem like.

    Just plug both HDD's into any XB1, and copy (not move) each game from current HDD to new HDD.

    Correct this is a supported scenario. BTW XBox One loading times are faster via USB 3 since the internal connection (SATA-2) has slower bandwidth, So always use the external drive as the default and get as large (2TB) one as possible. the games will only play if either you use the same profile on each box (that purchased the games) or you have the physical disc.
