Is the power level enough? Which games are you finding difficult?
Destiny is expected to need around 40GB of storage space. The Xbox One comes with a 500GB HDD, but it's likely that only a fraction—perhaps 480GB or less—will be usable right out of the box, along with the operating system and other files. That leaves roughly 400GB to 450GB available. If you plan to play 10 games, that would still leave quite a bit unused. They might release an external drive, probably around 500GB, which seems quite small compared to what's needed. This situation really frustrates me, especially with the huge HDD sizes in consoles making me feel like it's all a waste of money.
I store games on my SSD for quick access and fast loading. With only a 256GB drive, I manage well since I keep just a few large AAA titles at once—more than enough for typical play. The games I don’t use right now go to a separate HDD, making it easy to install them whenever needed. Right now, the biggest storage demand is Wolfenstein, which takes around 45GB. This size likely comes from the game’s detailed texture mapping. While it’s impressive, 45GB feels quite large. It’s still a solid title.
