And besides still wondering why my external hard drive does not work when connected to my usb hub , are you sure there are 3 usb ports on the back i thought there was only 2?

i am currently using a seagate 2tb drive formatted to NTFS and i am still getting this message of it needing to be 256G or more and USB 3.0. the drive is 2 tb, last i checked that is larger than 256G and the connection is USB 3.0. any suggestion to help
me get it working? also last i checked USB connectors that are 3.0 usually have a blue piece. please correct me if i am wrong in assuming this means its 3.0.

Pretty sure it was the update. I have two 5tb hard drives and my xbox one x and both xbox one s don't recognize the hard drives now.

What do you mean a max of 16gb per hard drive , I thought there was no max ?

And you can have up to 2 external hard drives plugged in at the same time?

Apologies. There is a maximum, but I made a tiny little typo that radically changed the meaning of my sentence. It's supposed to say the maximum is 16TB, not GB. Oops. Sorry for the confusion. The minimum is still 256GB though, on a USB 3.0 drive.

And yes, up to two drives plugged in at the same time, meaning the absolute maximum storage is 2 times 16TB external hard drives plus the internal HDD's 500GB, so 32.5TB.
