XBOX one NAS storage support.

[alexhore]

Was just considering how I might go about sharing a USB drive with my two XBOX ones in separate rooms, bit of a pain!
If every XBOX user on all the NAS forums out there voted this feature up we might just convince them to support CIFS or something that can be implemented into FreeNAS.

Vote here peeps:

LOL, I had to remember that this was an OT thread. (Yes, I laughed at myself)

But specifically with respect to FreeNAS being used to share a USB drive regardless of XBox, I don't see that happening since it was phased out. However I understand your point of just trying to get some votes at your linked thread to support changing XBox to support saving your game data on an external device over the network.

Not going to happen.

The Xbox One API relies on local storage being "fast". Games can do stuff with local hard drives and would require separate "save data goes here" and "game data goes here" paths for this to work.

Thanks, I probably threw you starting "USB".

Mounting and using a share would be great.

They could quite easily assess the speed of the network as they assessed the speed of a USB device when formatting it on the 360 so that's not really an issue especially when some of us can max out our lan.
Fingers crossed they would consider updating their API, save paths and other limitation however unlikely this may be.
