    4K clips don't last upto hour with external drive connected to Xbox


    I have an external SSD connected to my Xbox One X and when I try to record 1 hour (4K HDR) of gameplay let's say of Gears 5 the clips stops recording randomly. They last from 30 seconds to 5 min approximately.

    I have this SSD specifically: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-500GB-Extreme-Portable-External/dp/B07S1PCSV5/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1Y3R9LZBPM6PS&dchild=1&keywords=sandisk+extreme+pro&qid=1590237899&sprefix=sandisk+extre%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-8

    If I select 1080p SDR as game clip resolution it records 1 hour of gameplay as expected.

    Does anyone know why this may be happening? Could be a problem that the SSD is only USB-powered?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Yes, the SSD came with USB 3.0. About compatibility with the Xbox, how can I check this?

    Hello there,

    I heard that you need USB 3.0 cable for the external drive it could fix the issue but i am not sure if a USB 3.0 works with your current SSD and you might also check your SSD compatibility with the Xbox.

    Have a good day!

    Need help

    Jackie,

    You really need an external hard drive. The minimum requirement for external storage is:

    -Must be a USB 3

    -must be larger the 256GB

    You can use a memory stick but the external hard drives will probably be cheaper for more storage and better performance. I've used memory sticks mostly to transfer for capture game clips for video. For basic info: an Xbox One console can use upto 3
    external storage device (HardDrives) upto 8TB each.

    Hope this helps
