External storage XBOX ONE X

Greetings. I have an external hard drive of 1 TB USB3.0 that I want to use as external storage of my xbox one x.
The console recognizes it correctly for multimedia, but when trying to use it for games there is a problem: When starting the format, the disc disappears from the list of devices as if it were disconnected and asks again for the format.

Each time the format begins, the same thing happens.

What can I do or should I do?

Response:

Hi there,

if the disc is recognized as Multi media this could be caused by a wrong usb cable, did the cable come with the external storage device or is it a different cable? If for example a USB 2.0 cable is used the external storage drive won't be recognized
properly.

Also be sure to check if the console is fully updated and also try a different usb port on the console.

and to be sure please try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:

Hello, i use the xbox one x with no external storage devices

This article explains the difference between using a regular external hard drive versus the custom external storage for the Series S/X- https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/09...xbox-series-s-custom-storage-solution-primer/

An external hard drive used on the One will work for the Series S/X, but won't have the exact same performance as the one created for the Series S/X.

Hi,

Yes you can use it. You can use any external storage that the Xbox One supported on the Series X and S. However, external storage can only be used to play Xbox One games and BC Xbox 360 and original Xbox games.

Series X and S titles need to be run either from the internal SSD or the optional expansion card.

Ok did you put it in an internal memory or storage card or external usb drive

If external that would be why

You can only put it in an internal memory or storage card

Now I'd you are saying you have a Xbox one S

That isn't a series s

Series consoles.are different and are not considered Xbox one nor is it part of the name

Also any games.that are meant for the series consoles has to be on storage card or.internal memory

Xbox one games works regardless of Xbox one s or og or one x

And you can use any storage

But for Xbox series consoles there is only s or x not one s/x

And only games on optimized nvme or the Xbox nvme storage card will download the series version

If you put it on external it would only download the Xbox one as you arent running thr optimized nvme
