    External Hard drive Problem


    Well I bought a Seagate backup Plus Slim 2TB Portable External Hard Drive for my xbox one last year, & it worked pretty well. Recently though, it suddenly stopped showing up on my ''games & apps,'' only the internal hard drive, which is full, thus can't
    download any more stuff. For some some reason, it still showed up in storage with downloaded contents, but when I check it to ''View contents,'' it doesn't show up in ''games and apps.'' So far, I try reformatted and setting up different usb ports but to no
    success. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem, rather then wasting another Benjamin on a hard drive.

    :)

    External hard drive problems

    do you have that box checked that says "turn off external devices on standby" or something like that? That might be the issue.

    External Hard drive Problem

    I too am having the same problem as Deathsctheful. I rebooted my console and tried two separate HDDs and two separate enclosures, AND DID A FULL RESET ON MY CONSOLE DELETING ALL MY INFORMATION COMPLETELY LIKE XBOX SUPPORT SAID TO DO TWO SEPARATE TIMES THAT
    I CALLED. And still my console will not recognize the hard drives. i have even connected them to my pc and formatted them there with no luck. if this is a known problem in the Xbox preview program like the last representative i spoke to said it was, i would
    like to withdraw from this program immediately

    Well my problem was resolved by support. In my case it was a faulty cord connected to my external hard drive, which if caused by internal wiring, may have been from a blackout. So would like to thank support for assisting me in this time of crisis, and my
    Benjamin can stay in my wallet, if for awhile longer.

    Memoria esterna non rilevata e il controller non risponde ai comandi [Translation - External memory is not detected and the controller does not respond to commands]

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that the issue is persistent on the External Hard Drive.

    Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a PC?

    Does the PC recognize the external hard drive?

    Does the external hard drive meet the specifications for the Xbox One?

    If the problem persists, I recommend to try a different external hard drive on the Xbox if possible. One thing we want to make sure, Are the ports on the Xbox One functioning?

    Let us know.

    Game pass downloads

    Do other games you own that aren't from game pass have the same problem? Do you have an external hard drive. If a game I install to my external hard drive is very laggy I will move it to my internal hard drive which usually fixes the problem.
