    Buying a new external seagate hardrive for my Xbox one s


    Hi so im going to buy a new 8TB external hardrive for my xbox one s.

    im wondering if i can give my old one iv been using which i know is compatible with my xbox one s to my friend which is 1TB.

    If i wiped it would they be able to download games onto it and play them on there like i have been doing? Or since it was formatted on my xbox would she not be able to use it.

    also would my xbox get the full 8TB or so from the new seagate external hardrive made for xbox systems or would i only get access to like half?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Thanks!

    I just accidentally wiped it by pressing format anyways and am currently downloading the games I had on there back onto it because I’m a dummy.

    Thankfully I had small games on the external drive .

    If you wipe it clean of all your games etc, it should still work on another Xbox One as it`s already been formatted. If it did need doing, they would get an on screen message telling them so and a choice of what the HDD will be used to save.

    And you should be able to use all 8TB of your new HDD. I think the maximum total capacity of external memory you can have is 16TB with multiple external HDDs connected, with a maximum of 8TB per HDD.

    What´s the maximum capacity of external 2,5" harddrive for - Microsoft Community

    Hope you're doing great today despite this JDOGDUHMNICE

    Sorry to hear that, Are you able to test the drive with another console to see if it can be read there?

    If not, what happens when you connect the drive to the PC? (Open the disk management app and check if the drive appears there)

    If the PC recognize it but the consoles not
    Probably something happened to the file system and now is corrupted
    In those cases the best option is format the drive :c

    **just to let you know, the games are attached to your Microsoft account if you purchased them digitally, not to the drive itself
