    Xbox One will not recognize second external hard drive

    Hello All:

    I have an xbox one. I have been using two external hard drives with it. Recently the xbox stopped recognizing that the second hard drive was connected. I figured the hard drive quit working, so I purchase a new 4tb Seagate Xbox External Hard Drive to
    use. I plugged it in and the xbox did not recognize it either. I have done hard reboots, switch usb ports, switch cables, etc... and nothing that I do gets the xbox to recognize either the original second external hard drive that was working perfectly or
    the new second external hard drive. Even when I remove the first external hard drive, and hard reboot, the xbox will still not recognize the either the new external hard drive or the drive that had worked well in the past as a second external hard drive.
    I figure something is wrong with my xbox one. Please advise what I should do.

    Thank you!

    new update

    well after updating my xbox my external hard drive keeps telling me its ready every 5 secs its seems to not like the update after restarting xbox a few times with out hard drive plugged in the plugging it back in seems to do the trick so far .it kept hanging
    every time if would say external storage is ready if was fine before update .

    so far it seems to be working but they might want people to know to unplug external storage before running the new update

    June update preview

    You will have the update tonight for the new features including external hard drives,

    One tip, once the external hard drive is formatted for the XboxOne you will not be able to use the hard drive on a pc.

    InTranceWeTrust, you will be able to turn off notifications.

    I'm sure you will like the update very much.

    Xbox One Installation Stopped External Hard Drive

    I know there are a lot of posts but let me re-summarize.

    Hard drive was working with everything.

    Xbox updated.

    External Hard Drive allows Apps to install no issue, but games will not install or be moved to the External Hard Drive.

    Games that were on the external drive still work but are no longer able to update and as such error out when attempting to play.

    Given hardware did not change and is still in working order as evidenced by being read and installing Apps (small sized files compared to games), the only thing that changed was software (the update).

    Some users report certain external hard drive enclosures work still ($7.99 on Amazon) but previous ones stopped. This tells me there is a driver incompatibility or a soft block on certain external device enclosures.

    xbox one x

    You simply need to plug the external hard drive with the Xbox One games on it into the new console, then you can play games from the external hard drive, or transfer them from the external hard drive to the internal hard drive. You may need to update some
    or all of the games, which will require the internet. But you don't need to re-download the whole game.
