The original Xbox One isn't. The One S improved on that a fair bit, but I've no idea about the One X.

3.5" HDD in all 3 variants.
Although, you can buy a 500gb SSD now for £100, so the next generation of consoles should really only have SSDs in.
It's usually the blu-ray drive that makes the most noise, at least from my experience of the PS4.
Why does this piece of shit go asleep and turn off by itself when it's halfway through installing a fucking game? The downloads are already glacial enough without them stopping by themselves.
Out the window will be next.
Doesn't it carry on installing even when it's hibernating?
Unless my wifi coincidentally dropped for the whole time I was away from it then nope, though maybe it's something I need to turn on.
I could be wrong, but I thought the same as you a load of times when it turned itself off only to be pleasantly surprised to see the game had indeed installed when I turned it back on again.
Also seems to work when you queue games up remotely.
On PS4 there's a setting in Power or something to make it keep alive whilst downloading
You need it to be in something called "instant-on mode”, I believe. Which basically means it never properly shuts down, it's just in a sort of sleep mode. You will know if you don't have that mode activated because it will take it thirty seconds plus with the Xbox logo glowing to boot up every time you start it. If you have it activated it just wakes up pretty much straight away.
I remember I ended up turning it off on mine when I used to keep it in the bedroom because it would start making fucking whirring noises or the fans would fire up, shit like that, while it was downloading updates in the early hours of the morning, loud enough to wake me up. It was well annoying. Mine is a day-one brick of a thing though, so they might have improved since then on the new models.
Yeah, the XB1X is almost silent and that must be the mode I have it on.
This is still a pain in the bollocks. And games take so fucking long to download it’s ridiculous. 5.5 hours to get 91% of Forza 5 downloaded.
Anyway, my controller seems fucked. Up or down the menus makes it do two moves and if I go left it just goes back right itself. Reboots and re-pairs don’t help. Changed the batteries too. Anyone ever see or hear of this shit?
