Running out of storage space on your Original Xbox One and constantly having to uninstall games? Console Wizard can upgrade the console's internal hard drive to provide more space for your games and applications.
Our professional Xbox One hard drive and storage upgrade starts from £109.99, with different internal hard drive capacities available to select when ordering. We can install an internal HDD up to 2TB in the Original Xbox One.
The console is professionally dismantled, the existing internal hard drive removed and the larger replacement drive correctly prepared with the Xbox system software before the console is reassembled and tested.
Xbox One Hard Drive Upgrade
The Original Xbox One was supplied with internal hard drive storage that can quickly become full as more games, downloadable content and applications are installed.
Modern games can require a substantial amount of storage space, meaning a smaller internal drive may require you to repeatedly uninstall older games before installing new ones.
Upgrading the internal Xbox One hard drive provides additional storage directly inside the console and allows more games and applications to remain installed at the same time.
Xbox One Storage Upgrade
If your existing Xbox One hard drive is working correctly but you simply need more storage space, an internal HDD upgrade can increase the amount of space available for installed games and applications.
This service is intended primarily as a storage capacity upgrade rather than a repair for a failed hard drive.
Once the larger internal drive has been installed and correctly prepared, the Xbox operating system is installed and the console is tested before being returned.
Xbox One 2TB Hard Drive Upgrade
Console Wizard can upgrade the Original Xbox One with an internal hard drive up to 2TB, providing substantially more internal storage than an original 500GB console.
A 2TB internal drive can be particularly useful if you have a large digital game library and regularly find yourself deleting installed games to make room for new ones.
The available hard drive capacity can be selected from the product options when ordering this service.
Why Upgrade the Xbox One Internal Hard Drive?
Increasing the internal storage capacity can make managing a larger Xbox game library more convenient.
An Xbox One hard drive upgrade may be useful if:
• Your Xbox One internal storage is nearly full
• You regularly delete games to free storage space
• You have a growing digital Xbox game library
• You want more games installed at the same time
• You want a larger internal drive rather than relying entirely on external storage
• You want to upgrade a 500GB Xbox One to a larger internal HDD
The upgrade increases storage capacity while keeping the replacement drive installed internally within the console.
What Does the Xbox One Hard Drive Upgrade Include?
Our Original Xbox One hard drive upgrade starts from £109.99 and includes:
• Professional Xbox One dismantling
• Existing internal hard drive removal
• Larger replacement internal HDD
• Replacement drive preparation
• Required Xbox system partition setup
• Xbox system software installation
• Professional console reassembly
• Startup and storage testing
• 3-month repair warranty
The final price depends on the internal hard drive capacity selected when ordering.
Xbox One 500GB Hard Drive Upgrade
If your Original Xbox One was supplied with a 500GB internal hard drive, increasing the storage capacity can provide considerably more room for installed games and applications.
Moving to a larger internal HDD reduces the need to continually uninstall games simply to create enough space for another installation.
For customers wanting the maximum internal HDD capacity offered with this service, a 2TB internal hard drive upgrade is available.
Xbox One HDD Upgrade vs SSD Upgrade
Console Wizard offers separate HDD and SSD upgrade services for the Original Xbox One.
This page is intended for customers whose priority is a larger traditional internal hard drive and increased storage capacity.
Our separate Xbox One SSD Upgrade is intended for customers who specifically want solid-state storage with no moving mechanical parts and improved storage performance.
• Need more internal storage at a lower cost = HDD upgrade
• Want solid-state storage and improved storage performance = SSD upgrade
If your priority is SSD performance rather than simply increasing HDD storage capacity, please select our dedicated Xbox One SSD Upgrade service.
Xbox One Hard Drive Upgrade vs Hard Drive Repair
This storage upgrade should also be kept separate from our Xbox One hard drive fault repair service.
If your existing Xbox One works normally and you simply need more space for games, this hard drive upgrade service is the appropriate option.
If your Xbox One is not booting, freezing, displaying hard drive errors or has a confirmed failing internal drive, please select our dedicated Xbox One hard drive repair and replacement service instead.
• Working Xbox One but not enough storage = hard drive upgrade
• Failed or failing internal hard drive = hard drive repair/replacement
This keeps storage upgrades and fault repairs clearly separated.
Will My Existing Xbox One Games Be Transferred?
Games installed on the existing internal hard drive will normally need to be downloaded and installed again after the new internal drive has been fitted.
Games purchased digitally remain associated with the appropriate Microsoft account and can normally be downloaded again after signing back into that account.
Supported game-save information stored through Xbox cloud services can normally synchronise again when the relevant account and game are used, subject to Microsoft's services and the data previously having been synchronised.
Console Wizard cannot guarantee preservation or transfer of data stored on the original internal hard drive.
Is an External Xbox Drive an Alternative?
Compatible external storage is another way of increasing the amount of space available to an Xbox One without replacing the internal hard drive.
An internal upgrade may be preferable for customers who want the additional storage installed permanently inside the console rather than having an additional external drive and cable connected to the Xbox.
The best option depends on whether your priority is convenience, storage capacity, performance or keeping the additional storage internal to the console.
Original Xbox One Hard Drive Upgrade
This upgrade service is specifically for the Original Xbox One console.
The Xbox One S and Xbox One X use their own dedicated storage upgrade services. If you own one of those models, please select the appropriate hard drive or SSD upgrade for your console.
