    External Hard Drive Problems


    Hi, I've been having a problem with my 2TB Seagate Portable Expansion Hard Drive. Every time I turn my console back on I have to unplug it and plug it back in for the hard drive to show up. Is anyone having the same problem or have any suggestions on fixing
    it? It's been the same since they first added external hard drive support but now it's really beginning to irritate me having to do it every time and it can't be doing any good to the USB ports.

    Thanks,

    :)

    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 Problems

    I can honestly say I have never had this issue and I have a Seagate 1TB HDD.

    In the settings there is an option to have your HDD remain on even when you shut the console down. I have this setting on as I prefer to store my games on the External HDD first.

    You should maybe give that option a try and see if it helps.

    What USB port are you using? I use one on the back of the console as ive heard the one on the side can be tempremental.

    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.
