hey guys Lofton you may have caught our building the ultimate ps4 video where we may have gone just a little bit over the top over this time well I mean clearly we kept things completely rational and in no way overkill whatsoever we start out once we have something simple this is the Seagate game drive SSD now this will work on both the Xbox one Jets as well as the original Xbox one and the idea is pretty simple this is a USB based SSD unlike the ps4 which you can easily swap out the stock drive for an SSD with the Xbox the internal drive is pretty much what you get the real advantage with an SSD like this is going to be in performance so you still have the standard hard drives inside your Xbox one but not only are games going to load faster from this guy but it's also going to give you an additional 512 gigabytes of storage so one thing to know is that you don't actually have to use a game drive for the Xbox it supports any USB 3.0 tribe's at least 256 gigabytes but for 200 bucks the game drive is not a bad deal what if that's not enough that's where a sub comes in so this is only going to work on the original Xbox one but then it does it give you an additional two USB ports but also will let you install a full extra hard drive so inside what we're getting here is something that actually should match pretty well with the Xbox one and selling this guy should be as simple as just lining it up with the USB port on the side and so right as a box it doesn't really add a lot of bulk to the Xbox you're getting those an additional USB ports over here but the real star of the show is what you can actually put inside this guy pop up in the back here and you'll see our spot for a two and a half inch hard drive now in theory you could also put an SSD in here however since we already have an SSD because we've got to go in Max's storage on this guy so make sure we're getting the most out of the Xbox you have an additional two terabyte hard drive we just need to attach this bracket and the drive should just slide into place alright so as simple as that at least in theory we added an additional two terabytes of hard drive space to our Xbox that's clearly not enough so that's where the modular data bank comes in with this guy we can add an additional four terabytes of capacity to our Xbox so inside the box this is also fairly straightforward but it's going to require maybe just a little bit more work because unlike dropping a small hard drive on the side this guy codes right on hahahaha alright who's already looking goofy unlike the media hub this guy is actually going to live on top of the Xbox and that's because it supports full desktop three and a half inch hard drive wait wait hold on the coffee house the cecht is it like magnetic wow that's not magnetic so don't put your xbox upside down with the data Bank on but it is being held in by something whether it's like adhesives or magnet or something always do is just take off this top teeth so we can get at the three and a half inch drive same and selling this should be pretty straightforward all we do is line up with our drive bay fly it all the way back so it's fully seated and that should give us an additional 4 terabytes in capacity with our Xbox one I am already really proud of how ridiculous looks and we're not even done yet because next we have a intercooler now if you remember from the ps4 video we found that these really don't add a whole lot of value it marginally might cool your ps4 down just a touch so over the Xbox one does have a very different cooling solution essentially right below this grate here is a very large fan so in theory giving that more airflow could help or it could just be a complete waste of money supposedly this will give us a 30% drop in temperature which I find kind of hard to believe but at least it does have a couple of temperature sensors that will tell us not only what the air temperature is outside the Xbox but also inside so once the Xbox is cooled off after done gaming for example in theory the fan should shut off automatically so on the bottom we've got a fairly substantial looking fan but beyond that it pretty much should just drop right into place over the Xbox so the power of the cooler is as simple as just using the included micro USB cable to take up one of our USB ports on the back which is kind of taking up all of our USB ports but thankfully we have a bunch more up front now so to take the ridiculous one step farther we have the nichael charge base so what this is going to let us do is charge two Xbox one controllers on top of this monstrosity the only difference between this and normal controller is this comes with a separate backplate so one things pop it on you'll see is the context of the batteries on the back which means that once we drop it onto the dock it should automatically charge there we go that's a proper Xbox one set up right here what am i doing put the ultimate xbox one over the top we have the xim4 this little adapter is going to allow you to use a mouse and keyboard on a console specifically the Xbox one and here we have the xim itself which kind of looks like a glorified USB hub so front we have a couple of USB ports as well as one more on the back and micro USB so with this in theory we will be upper running with our Xbox one with a mouse and keyboard or we could have just got a PC so after about an hour of fiddling with this to try to get it all to work we now have a mouse and keyboard support for Xbox one this is not the most elegant solution what you have to do is you have to run an original Xbox one controller into this guy a mouse and keyboard into it and then it goes out via USB and it also just disconnected why does it really just break so once we get everything up and running it works pretty well so the way the xim4 works is that you actually pair it with your phone and you can sync over different profiles right now playing the original titanfall but there are profiles for most games for ps3 ps4 Xbox 360 Xbox one and something I appreciate about this is there's really not a lot of latency now sure you can notice maybe a touch of you're really paying attention but as far as I'm concerned it feels like I'm just playing on a PC well it's just worth all the extra complexity and hassle I'm not so sold I think that it's a useful thing if you're trying to build the ultimate Xbox one it totally works but it's a lot of extra hassle and honestly if you're just doing this by a PC so take away from the ultimate Xbox setup first of all this is obviously overkill you shouldn't do this to your Xbox it's dumb but there are some interesting bits and pieces in here so to start with the enttec x1 cooler it's sort of interesting it works well but it's not useful the Xbox one is so over built with cooling that this is really not going to make a significant difference as far as getting a charge station for the Xbox it's not really that useful I mean it is nice to be able to drop an Xbox controller on but there are other options that are not mounted on top of the controller that make it look super ridiculous the hard drive situation is a little bit more complicated always supports a maximum of two additional drives on top of what's inside so right now we have the four terabyte drive connected and we could get the SSD or we can get the two terabyte drive all in together it's only going to see two of the three at any given time now unless you really need all seven terabytes at once it's not only a big issue and honestly I do really appreciate how easy it is to expand your storage with the Xbox whether you want lots of space with a normal hard drive or a really fast as a speed so what do you guys think about this totally not overkill Xbox one set up let me know in the comments below but if you guys want links to any of this stuff they will be in the description anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
