External drives for capturing gameplay on Xbox One
The Xbox offers a great console-based gaming experience and has been a popular gaming medium for years now. However, one hindrance that many gamers face is the inability to show off their gameplay to their friends or simply store a great game scene that one simply cannot repeat. Recording gameplay is something that every gamer has felt the need for but access to limited storage often prevents gamers from saving great moments. However, there are ways now to store all your hard work in a recorded format. In fact, you can just use external flash drives or the hard drives to do so. Here are some of the best external drives that will let you store recorded gameplay.

The SanDisk SDCZ430-032G-I35 Ultra Fit offers 32GB of storage with support for USB 3.1 standards. The company claims that in optimum conditions, the said flash drive can transfer data at a 130MBps transfer speed. This means that, in theory, it should allow users to transfer a full-length movie 15 times faster than the regular 2.0 USB flash drives. The flash drive comes with the SanDisk secure access software, which helps protect the privacy of the users. Additionally, if you choose to create a private folder, know that the added 128-bit AES encryption software ensures the safety of critically important files. The drive also comes with access to RescuePro Deluxe Data Recovery software that makes it easier to recover any accidentally deleted files.
