    4TB hard drive for xbox 360 Western Digital Passport


    Greetings,

    It seems that when you place a 4TB USB external Western Digital Passport on an XBox 360 model - it seems to not be able to access the drive. It only states in the storage devices as - unformatted. I formatted the drive using exFAT and the partition was 128
    GB in size. I have tried other sizes but I was unable to have the Xbox 360 to see the partition.

    I also deleted all partitions and MBRs - basically a totally blank drive using windows 10's disk manager on the command line as an administrator. I ensured no EFI partitions were present and still the XBox 360 will only show 'unformatted' on the storage
    device screen.

    Question - what is the exFAT partition limitation for the XBox 360 and is there a way to have the xBox360 see the USB external drive to format it? Pitty there is no command line or tools on the xBox360.

    thanks,

    JD

    :)

    External Hard Drives on XBOX ONE: system update causing failure?

    I have been running a 4TB Western Digital Passport for a few years and not had any issues.

    Storage Alternatives for XBOX versus internal drive

    For myself I had gone with Western Digital for the same process as far as having external storage. I started with a 4TB Western Digital Passport and this past year had gotten A 8TB western Digital Passport all from Amazon and a great price. Even sent one
    to my Xbox best friend this past Xmas as he did not have the storage to play the games I had. Honestly the only thing that should use the INTERNAL drive would be the data profile to start the game or some of the crucial data it says it needs in order to play
    it. However all my games are always on a external drive in case the system does crash.

    What are the best xbox one compatible external hard drives for less than $100.00?

    You said under $100.00 but this is a steal at $116.00:

    Western Digital, 4TB External HD.

    I have the Seagate 4TB which is the same one Major Nelson was using when they came out but a friend who works in IT says Western Digital is the best make to go for.

    Xbox One doesn't recognize external HDD anymore.

    Await Damnation i have a seagate 2TB expansion hard drive, cost 90euro, got it from PC world and i havent had any trouble with it, a friend of mine uses a western digital my passport 2TB hard drive and he has no problems with it, i also have a 1TB version
    of the passport and i did have a few issues with it but after the last update its worked perfect with xbox aswell, i dont know about any other brands but i would recommend either seagate or western digital hard drives as they seem to work well with the xbox
