While SSDs bring significant loading time improvements, the premium is hard to justify for some. HDDs are a capable alternative, with average speeds and an accessible price.
HDD vs. SSD: What’s the difference?
When upgrading your Xbox One storage capacity, an external hard drive is the best choice. With the console’s internal hard drive built-in firmly, support for external USB 3.0 drives makes for an easy plug-and-play solution. However, you’ll need to choose between two drive types.
Hard disk drives (HDDs) are the “traditional” storage solution, commonly present in entry-level PCs, games consoles, and other budget devices. Data is stored on a spinning disk inside, with transfer speeds determined by its revolutions per minute (RPM). Solid-state drives (SSDs) are quickly gaining traction as a preferred alternative, boasting superior drive technology. With no moving parts, SSDs mean improved performance and faster boot times, although at a significantly higher price tag.
During past tests with Seagate’s official Xbox One SSD, loading times were roughly cut by 20 percent, with similar results in future revisions. The fast loading time isn’t game-changing, but those seconds soon accumulate over extended periods of play. Without moving parts, SDDs generally present fewer hardware issues and run quieter.
Despite superior internals, HDDs are still appealing to most Xbox One user. Their low price undercuts all SSDs, granting more storage for your cash. The drives also commonly offer the choice of higher capacities, hitting 4TB, 8TB, 16TB configurations.
Should I buy an HDD or SSD?
For most Xbox One owners, an HDD offers excellent value for money, upping your storage beyond the base configuration. You’ll miss the benefits of faster drives, but still get strong performance and more room for games. There are some great cheap external drives available and recommended for most.
However, if you demand the most from your console, an SDD offers an unbeaten blend of expansion and speed. You’ll experience reduced load times across all games, as long as you can justify its premium rate.
Which Xbox One hard drive is best?
If wanting to expand your Xbox One storage for cheap, there’s a growing range of Xbox-compatible HDDs available. Toshiba leads with its 1TB Canvio Basics drive, tripling your base storage for just $48. Alternatively, the 2TB WD Elements drive packs even more room for only $60.
Jumping over to SSDs means parting with more of your cash. Samsung drives start at $95 for a 500GB variant, while increased capacity usually costs more than $200. The price outweighs the benefits for many, with few bytes per dollar.

What are you hoping for from the Samsung Galaxy S10 next year? An improved camera? Even thinner display bezels? A fingerprint scanner built right into the screen? One of the upgrades tipped to be on the way is a boost to wireless charging speeds.
Reputable tipster Ice Universe has tweeted that “Samsung smartphone 15w charging will become history” – apparently referring to the wireless Quick Charge 2.0 technology used on the latest Samsung handsets. It’s a figure that other handset makers have improved massively on recently, with the Huawei P20 Pro(for example) charging at 40 watts.
The latest version of the Qualcomm tech that Samsung adapts for its own wireless charging purposes can now run at a maximum of 27w, so it’s possible that Samsung’s 2019 phones will hit this level or get somewhere close to it.
Smartphone specs appeal
Wireless charging speed is one of the few areas where Samsung is currently lagging behind the competition, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see the feature get a boost when the S10 and S10 Plus phones appear – which should be around the end of February.
With only a couple of months to go before the official launch, we’ve already heard plenty of rumor and speculation about what’s in store from Samsung. The new handsets are being tipped to bring with them an improved display with even thinner bezels, as well as a quad-lens rear camera on the Galaxy S10 Plus model.
Throw in the very latest in wireless charging technology and it’s difficult to see how Samsung could make the phones any better – at least until Samsung’s long-rumored folding phone hits the market, which we’re also expecting to be in 2019.

Our Verdict:
This is a strong phone from Samsung indeed, although a lack of upgrades to the camera and battery do slightly irk. However, the rebooted screen is very attractive, and really makes a big difference to this phone – Samsung has ticked most of the boxes we were hoping it would here.
FOR Great screen
Slick new UI
Powerful
AGAINST No camera upgrade
Battery same size

Basic functions of a smartphone should include the ability to make and receive phone calls, use messaging services, and have access to high speed internet via cellular networks. Apple’s latest iOS update has broken those key features for many users.
Last week Apple released iOS 12.1.2 for the iPhone, but had some trouble along the way. Just days after releasing the initial build, a second build was pushed out to replace the first, changing only the build number, not incrementing the well recognized version number.
The main fixes of iOS 12.1.2 are intended to solve problems associated with eSIM support on the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. Ironically, the update is also supposed to resolve issues with cellular connectivity for residents of Turkey. However, users across the world have been reporting issues with cellular data following the update.
iPhone owners located in Europe, Asia, and South America have all taken to Twitter to tell Apple their phones are no longer able to use LTE data. In North America, United States residents have been heavily affected.
Many users have reported that they are unable to make phone calls and some have been unable to send or receive text messages. A select few iPhone users have also had problems with WiFi connectivity as well running iOS 12.1.2.
Quite frankly, the roll out of this latest rendition of iOS to iPhone owners has been a bit of a mess. Apple Support has not yet publicly acknowledged the problems that prevent iPhones from being used as actual phones.
For those affected by issues with calling, messaging, and cellular data use of any kind, rest assured that iOS 12.1.3 is not far away. Even though another revision is likely more focused on avoiding further iPhone bans internationally than fixing user issues, Apple will hopefully toss in some patches as well.
If you have not upgraded to iOS 12.1.2 yet, it would be best to sit this one out until Apple decides to acknowledge or at least fix the problems.

Razer has revealed the Razer Turret for Xbox One, a wireless keyboard and mouse combo that is specifically designed for Microsoft’s latest console.
Built for “reliable gaming on the couch,” the Razer Turret offers a 2.4 GHz wireless connection via a single dongle and promises a battery life of up to 40 hours on a single charge.
Utilizing Xbox Dynamic Lighting and Razer Chroma technology, owners of the Razer Turret will gain access to 16.8-million color options and lighting effects for their new hardware.
Certain games, including X-Morph Defense and Warhammer Vermintide 2, will offer in-game support that will use the keyboard and mouse’s lighting to provide more immersive experiences.
The Razer Turret will also work with Windows 10 PCs, but as it is designed for Xbox One, it does feature a dedicated Xbox key that will instantly bring up the Xbox One Dashboard.
The Razer Turret is available for pre-order now through the Microsoft Storeand will ship by March 31, 2019, in North America for $249.99 USD. A worldwide release will follow in Q1 2019.
The keyboard and mouse were both teased during Microsoft’s X018 event in Mexico City last month, alongside the first 14 games that would support this new feature, including Epic Games’ Fortnite.

The most impressive Samsung Galaxy S10 model of the year 2019 was leaked today with a few unique details. The Samsung Galaxy “Beyond X” it’ll be called, and it’ll feature (above all else) the latest in mobile data technology. This will be Samsung’s first 5G-capable smartphone, and it’ll look and feel a whole lot like the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S10 family.
Comments made by Ice Universe this morning confirmed some details we’ve reported before: The Samsung Galaxy S10 unit with codename “Beyond X” will be the first to feature 5G connectivity and will be released after the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S10 family. Just as soon as 5G networks are ready to roll in the year 2019 – in South Korea and the USA.

Galaxy S10 5G details

This new device will be released with at least one feature not included on the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S10 family – a pair of ToF sensors. ToF is Time of Flight, and a ToF sensor estimates the distance between the device and the subject matter at which it’s pointed. With a ToF sensor around back and up front, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will be very, very good at taking in-focus photos at the drop of a hat – very speedy.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 “Beyond X” will have a 6.7-inch display. That places it right on the largest side of the bunch of smartphones in the Galaxy S10 family. They are as follows – to the best of our ability to estimate, of course. All details below are unofficial and based on anonymous tips, estimations, and approximations based on precedent.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Features:
• S10 Lite: 5.8-inch display, flat, 1 cam front, 2 cams back, $700 USD
• S10: 6.1-inch display, curved, 1 cam front, 3 cams back, $999 USD
• S10 Plus: 6.4-inch display, curved, 2 cam front, 3 cams back, $1300 USD
• S10 5G (Beyond X): 6.7-inch display, curved, 2 cam front, 3 cams back, $1500 USD
These prices are based on rumors of price points from the UK matched with prices of Galaxy S smartphones from years past. As insane as the idea of a $1500 smartphone seems, take a peek at the most expensive version of the Galaxy Note 9 and you’ll see the obviousness of the truth. (Somewhere in the area of $1,300 for the 512GB version at its height).

Galaxy S10 Release Date!

We’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S10 to be revealed at an event held by Samsung on the 20th of February, 2019. This is just a few days before the show floor opens at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. We’re expecting that the Samsung Galaxy S10’s first three versions – S10, S10 Lite, and S10 Plus, will be released on March 8th, 2019. Have a peek at the timeline below for additional information on this ever-expanding Galaxy S10 story.
