    External Hard Drive

    Hi there.

    Since your device meet the requirements for external storage (over 256 GB and USB 3.0), the console should walk you through formatting and setting up the drive once you connect it to the Xbox.

    Let me know how it went.

    Cheers! External Hard Drive :)

    Please hard reset your Xbox One. Then start it up again and re plug the External HDD in the back USB 3.0 port. If that doesn't work please check the format of the external HDD and check to see if the USB cable is 3.0. I heard many people say that Western
    Digital are still giving out 2.0 cables

    GTA 5 Kicking Me Out

    Is this game stored on your Internal Storage or External hard drive? If it's on your External Hard drive kindly move it to your Internal Storage then remove the hard drive. This is to check if it's due to the external hard drive.

    Which Xbox One Should I Get- 500gb or 1tb

    No, the 500gb is a joke. you will 100% need either an external hard drive or to buy the larger 1tb hard drive. External hard drives are just the cheaper option.

    Xbox series x keeps crashing video game apps

    May I know if an external hard drive is plugged into your console? If yes, have you kept the external hard drive unplugged when performing troubleshooting steps and check if the issue persists without external hard drive?

    Requires a hard drive.

    You have to have an external hard drive plug in. It does not have to be 360 just reformat it. External hard drives that plug in the USB are not recognized as a hard drive for the 360.
