Can I use the same external drive on more than one xbox?

You can but to access the game on the drive means the second xbox must have your profile on it

Seems to me that it is a problem with either the drive itself or the cable connecting the drive to the console.

If you have another external drive handy, try using the cable from your xbox external drive and see if it can connect to a computer or laptop. If it can, then its more than likely a problem with your external drive.

Alternatively, you could test your external drive on another xbox one console.

Hi there!

Your Xbox One X's has three USB 3.0 ports (that includes the front). So it should be okay to use the front port for external devices.

You can surely use 14TB of external. But please note that when connecting external drives via USB 3.0, do not connect any single drive larger than 16 TB, and no more than three external drives total at the same time. External storage larger than that will not work.

Hi there Frank!

Thanks for the reply. The requirements for an external storage drive:

• It uses a USB 3.0 connection. If you’re using a USB hub, the hub must also be USB 3.0 or later.
• It has 256 GB or larger storage capacity.
• It has a partition. Typically, drives come wit a preformatted partition. For more information about partitioning an external hard drive, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• No more than three storage devices are connected to the console at the same time.

The best troubleshooting resource is the one provided by XBF Chris :
Troubleshoot external storage detection on Xbox One.

If the problem persists, try checking out the support forum for the manufacturer of the external drive for more assistance. Another step you can try is using a different USB cable for the external hard drive.

Hope this helps.
