    External drive Hub?


    Is there some kind of Hard drive hub? Something that can hold multiple drives that have their own connections? I own an Xbox one S and a custom gaming pc running Windows 10. I don't really want to have a hub on my desk explicitly for my Xbox, but if I could
    have a hub that I stick drives in that can connect to more than one system? Sold.

    Example:

    Bay 1: 2Tb HDD for Xbox one S

    Bay 2: 500Gb SSD for Xbox one S

    Bay 3: 4Tb for Windows 10 PC

    Bay 4: Empty.

    Etc.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    1. Plug external hard drive into Xbox One with good connection.

    2. Download games.

    3. Unplug external drive.

    4. Take external drive to Xbox One with bad connection.

    5. Plug external drive in.

    6. Play games.

    7. Say thank you.

    Note: External drive needs to be USB 3.0 and have 256GB of free space.

    External drive Hub?

    I can't think of a specialized hub that will share the hard drives between the Xbox and PC, but you can consider getting a
    powered USB 3.0 hub for each platform. This can help consolidate your external drives to one USB port and keep your setup relatively cleaner. Take note that the Xbox One will only detect

    up to two external drives     at a time.

    It's a bit of a stretch, but with the hubs, long USB cables and some creativity, you could arrange all of the external drives together into some kind of shelving unit.

    USB Hubs and Xbox One

    Works fine for me, non powered one with a Keyboard, Skylanders Portal and Powered External Drive connected.

    Make sure its a USB 3.0 hub and you'll be fine, also if you're NOT using powered external drives, id recommend a powered hub.

    How do I get more storage on my xbox one?

    Buy an external hard drive with the following:

    • 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 with a preformatted partition. For more information about partitioning an external hard drive, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
