4tb hard drive not allowing me to play games?

i have a 4 tb ext. Hard drive from my xbox one, was told that this would be a simple plug n go with the new xbox one x? Unfortunately it wont let me play the games even though they show up as owned. Any thoughts or answers?

Using External Hard Drive ?

I plan on getting a Xbox One next month and I want to get a external drive to go with it . I plan on getting a 4TB external hard drive that has usb 3.0 . I would like to just buy all my games digitally and store them on the 4TB external hard drive . Will
a 4TB drive work ? Can you play games and apps off of the 4TB drive and will it be as fast as the built in drive ?

 

Hard Drive Upgrades

So I needed to expand my storage capabilities as I have officially run out of space on my external hard drives and my internal xbox one hard drive.

PLAN A: Purchase a 4TB hard drive and swap out the internal xbox one drive..... Plan A fails. It would appear the xbox does not support an internal 4TB hard drive. Please do correct me if im wrong!?

PLAN B: Use 4TB hard drive as an external drive instead.... Plan B fails. The xbox will not recognize that the hard drive is connected. In the mean time I can connect all 3 of my original external hard drives with no issues. So it also appears the the xbox
does not support a 4TB external drive either. Again please correct me if i am wrong!?

So what i want to know is this. Has anyone else had this problem? How did they get round it? What is the maximum size external/internal drive the xbox can handle?

 

did you go to settings and click on storage, the.ln click on the 4TB drive. Click show contents of drive. Are the games shown there? If they are shown just uninstall the game and reinstall it again .
