This is true, when it comes to new computers, there’s a threshold below around $500 where you’re really not getting adequate value for your money.
If you’re okay with less overall storage, you can get a 256GB SSD for $40 USD here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RJS55D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zNAzEb8GN054S
I did it with this setup for around $75.

Hi again!
I'm sorry for bothering you since I don't know how these SSD is compatible with Linux. But I I only need to buy a budget SSD, doesn't need to be a high end one (not yet since I'm trying out Linux). :)
But I found this one, do you think this is better than the Kingston?

This is what I use.
Silicon Power 256GB SSD 3D NAND... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RJS55D?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf $37.99
Sabrent 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf $9.99
I posted about this almost a year ago now and a lot of people from here have bought this set up now. Enjoy!
If you're looking for a cheaper alternative that's worked great for me...here ya go. It's an 256GB SSD and an enclosure (it just clips right in, takes two seconds) it's $42.98 before any taxes for the combo.

yea cancel that its a HDD. this is the SSD i use. https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP256GBSS3A55S25/dp/B075RJS55D/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1529218664&sr=1-7&keywords=SSD
and this is the enclosure i use. https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Tool-free-Enclosure-Optimized-EC-UASP/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529218723&sr=1-1&keywords=ssd+enclosure
NO, SSD are different to a Hard Drive but there is a 512gb SSD for $90US ( + enclosure)Silicon Power 512GB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" 7mm (0.28") Internal Solid State Drive (SP512GBSS3A55S25) best fucking deal.
Edit: with the 256gb SSD version has gone down another $2.
And for OP there is
But why risk getting a drive not work b/c it doesn't meat the xb1 requirement. Some 240gb aren't recognized by the xb1. If only they'd drop those requirements and let us load in a $15US 50gb SSD. MS should start bundling PUBG with an SSD like that they'll start selling like hotcakes. Both PUBG and Fortnite two of the most populated games on xbox right now would use half of that drive with a few extra games.
This is perfect! Thank you so much!!
So you have this SSD and then this enclosure, right?
So theoretically if I wanted more space I could go with this 1TB SSD?
I bought this one recently. Its a little expensive, but its an official one made for xbox one by seagate, so decided to spend the extra money to get it as i had gift cards i needed to use anyway.
If you want one thats much cheaper that should work just as good, get this one:
I bought this SSD for just over $30 Silicon Power 256GB SSD 3D NAND... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RJS55D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
And then this case all for under $50 Sabrent 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Totally worth it in my opinion. Buildings and weapons are loaded in when I drop on all of the maps :)
Possibly this one...

Enclosure : https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Tool-free-Enclosure-Optimized-EC-UASP/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S
Together, they are pretty cheap. Just pop the SSD in the enclosure, plug in, and you’re good to go.

Not sure what conflicting answers you speak of.
Any modern/new SSD of 256GB or more will suffice. Whether that's an internal or external is up to you. An internal will need an adapter that transfers it's connection to USB 3.
Name brands MAY last longer than a cheap off brand, but the data in test results doesn't really support that. I use an external Samsung T5 but only because I got it for a birthday present. Most of my friends have Amazon specials that cost far less and so far have given the same results in PUBG.

Cheap Route $41 for SSD and Enclosure
256 SSD, $31.99, (search the amazon reviews of this product, people reference PUBG lol)
and Enclosure, $9
Here is the SSD I bought. $31. You also need to buy a $10 enclosure to plug it in via usb. It has made a massive difference. I would never, ever, ever even try to play this game with out it. Just think about it like upgrading your PC.
