Don't mind the quotes, I am actually asking some general advice, I just saw these going through the General Chat thread here
So, I just got an Xbox One and noticed it has the Kodi app on it. 'Awesome' I thought, I could possibly replace my HTPC with this and some external drives. I love and us Kodi on my HTPC and was wetting myself seeing that it had come back to Xbox! <3
I then notice there are only three on the device. Well one I'd want to shove a 5TB on to extend storage for more games and apps than I'll ever need.. as I have a spare 5TB USB 3 usb powered drive. So that's great! I'll get that on there when I run out of space
In the mean time, I'm thinking.. now how am I going to get 4 large (2x3TB 2x8TB) drives out of my system and only use up one port of the Xbox One.. Ah, I'll have search for 'USB HUB' in the Xbox One forum.. here's what I find:
That really made my day! I'm still bloody crying with laughter now, me and my juvenile personality
Anyway.. of course I would need to buy enclosures for each drive to power them... which would take up 4 plug sockets, which I lack, though I do have 4 more 5TB USB 3, usb powered drives that I keep back ups of my ripped media on, and I have an Anker 7 port USB 3 powered hub!
So would it be an option to use those 4 drives for all my tv, movies and music with?
I could then use my internal drives as the main back ups and the external 5TB ones for that.
I then remembered I was talking about 4-Bay NAS drives on the networking forum.. and thought, I wonder if it's possible to have one, huge, external hard drive.
So is there an enclosure that can take 2x3TB seagates (I think thats the brand) and 2x8TB seagate iron wolfs?
Also, I presume the Xbox One would see all four as 'one 22TB drive' if said enclosure exists and does JBOD?
Lastly, since I've not owned an Xbox One S before, is there anything else I should consider, and/or need to know about it and it's capabilities as a media center?
I would really appreciate some advice
Cheers

Quick question peeps. Can i use a USB hub to connect multiple external HDDs to the rear usb port?
Yes, I have one for that very purpose. It's a powered USB hub, not sure how a passive unit would fair.
Should do, I have 3 hard disks plugged into it and they all run without a problem, a 2TB portable, a 5GB 3.5" external and a 512MB SSD.
2TB Games
5TB Porn
But what's the 512MB SSD for ?
Sometin 'specially durty
4K porn for when you need it in an instant
512mb of 4k porn, there's a joke there somewhere but for once I'll let someone else go there
About 2 mins [emoji23]
So no time for the plumber to be ringing the doorbell???
