    External hard drive won't capture game clips? [FALL UPDATE]


    I updated my Xbox One S recently for the Fall update, and it said that you can now capture game clips directly onto an external hard drive. That's a great idea... if it would actually work.

    I'm not sure if it's my hard drive or my Xbox playing up - I can store music/apps/etc. on my drive (a Seagate Expansion Portable hard drive, 2TB, USB 3.0), but every time I try to set it up to record game captures, it says that it's too slow because it needs
    to be USB 3.0 and also needs to be formatted for NTFS. I've checked my hard drive's setting/formatting - it is set up for NTFS - and it is definitely USB 3.0, as I have the box right here and the Seagate website telling me so.

    If anyone could tell me what to do, that would be greatly appreciated. I don't have enough money to go out and buy a brand new hard drive specifically for capturing game clips (I had to buy this one because my previous 1TB Samsung hard drive was stolen),
    and I won't have enough in general until December (Christmas follows my birthday pretty closely). Hopefully, I'll be able to resolve this problem without having to buy a new hard drive or an extra USB 3.0 connector as a go-between for the Xbox and my hard
    drive.

    :)

    Game Capture to External Drive DOESN'T WORK??

    Hi all,

    So this 'Fall Update' is supposed to allow us to record gameplay straight to an external hard drive, providing it's formatted NTFS and at least USB 3.0. I'm using a drive that is both of these things and it is just not working at all. It recognises that
    a drive has been plugged in, but when I try to set it as a capture location, it'll either tell me the drive isn't fast enough (it is...), or that it needs to be formatted in NTFS (it is...).

    Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

    Thanks

    Laggy game clips

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Chandler, you're taking these clip captures inside your Xbox HARD drive or on some external HARD drive if you have any external HARD drive so try setting it up as media and redirecting the captures to it.

    Unable to Record Xbox One

    How are you, Stephen?

    When you connect the external hard drive to your console does a screen appear asking you to format the drive to record captures? And have you also set your preferences to use the hard drive?

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, and then select Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share.

    Select Capture location, and then choose a destination for your game clips and screenshots.

    To start a recording>

    Start your game. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Capture & share > Start recording. Depending on your game clip resolution and available storage space, clips can last up to 10 minutes (capturing to internal storage) or 1 hour (capturing to external storage).

    To end the clip, open the guide and press the X button . You'll get a message when your clip is saved.

    How do I record 16 minutes of blackout gameplay through theater mode?

    You could set up an external hard drive specifically or captures.

    1. Plug a USB 3.0 (or faster) drive into your console.
    2. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    3. Go to System > Settings > System >
      Storage.
    4. Go to your external drive and select Set as capture location.
    5. Your game clips and screenshots will be recorded to your external drive. To revert, set your internal drive as your capture location.

    Cant record from now on xbox one x anymore

    Unfortunately you can't use an external drive for both games and captures. You either need to add another hard drive formatted to ntfs or reformat your existing drive but that will mean you can't store games on it (so move any games before doing this).
    Full details here:

    Could you move games stored on your internal drive to the external drive if you have the space spare on the external drive? Details on how to do this here:
