    Awesome, thanks for all your help! 
     
    I knew this would be the place to come for this kind of help

    I've seen those on Amazon, but I'm dubious because there's thirteen different models all listed with the same set of reviews and Q&As, so you don't really know how good the one you choose to buy actually is. If that makes sense?
     
    They're also like no-name brands so who knows what you're going to get.
     
    I'm not against having a card that would allow to RAID later down the line, so if that was a feature that could be handy, but as I say it's certainly not a priority right now. I just need to get this HDD into my case! haha

    There is no real reason to run your TV signal through your Xbox One, & I imagine that 99% of people that purchase a One won't run them through because it just won't really be worth it.

    Now Microsoft says that if you do that, you can more easily / quickly (via using your voice through Kinect) switch between TV & your One without having to press a single button. Plus, I think they have the added features of live updates to your fantasy football teams & stuff through being able to run two applications at once. However, that's only really likely to work in select countries with select applications. I mean, it might work for the NBA & NFL, but probably not NHL, or FIFA, or whatever, unless some new deals are made. 

    Their claim that it's an "all in one box" is in that you can hide everything else away & never have to see or use it, because you can do everything you would ever want directly through your Xbox One. However, again, there's issues there because you won't be able to do exactly whatever you want. If you cable or satellite provider offers some kind of VOD service, that ain't gonna work through your Xbox. Tivo probably won't work through it either, nor will any of your other special perks that your TV provider offers. 

    So, yeah, if you buy a One, you'd probably just be best off directly connecting it to the TV just as you would a normal games console. Yeah, you might lose out of some of these new stupid achievements for watching various TV stuff, & all that, but assuming you're not bothered about that, it should be no big deal.

    I personally think that the letter 'C' looks too much like an 'O' which isn't so much an issue for @LinusTech but for @SlickPC it looks more like "@SlickPO". 
     

     
    That'd definitely be my favourite so far.
