Microsoft long ago presented to the world what is currently the most powerful console on the market. Not so long ago that we have it on the shelves, some shelves, and is that its production does not seem to meet the demand. Be that as it may, we are without a doubt first and foremost a milestone in the history of video games, although it does not seem to be getting all the noise that the Redmond company would like.
However, these types of consoles always have a positive side and more than one negative side. Today we are going to talk about how easy it is to lose warranty rights on the Xbox One X, they don't even allow you to change the hard drive of the game console, a decision that has left many users totally baffled.
This is how Microsoft wants to justify this controversial decision:
Microsoft reserves the right not to accept in the Warranty Service, or consider out of warranty, those devices that have been: Opened, modified or voluntarily altered, as well as if their serial number is altered or removed.
What have they done for it? Place a hardware tamper detection seal right where the HHD is located. This means that we will have to use the 500 GB SATA II hard drive model Samsung Spinpoint M8 ST500LM012 With 8 MB of cache, meanwhile, the alternative that Microsoft offers us is to use external hard drives but… will we thus achieve the same performance rates as with the original hard drive? Of course not. It is a movement the less controversial that in a console of this caliber they limit us to 500 GB or choose to leave us literally without guarantee, when we could easily replace this hard drive with a higher capacity one without too much cost.
