    External Hardware Management


    I currently have a 1TB External unit that is plugged into my Xbox One and I have a lot of games and content on it at the moment with 392.4 GB free and it is currently set to have future content installed there by default. My problem, however, is that even
    though my Xbox One console can detect my external unit just fine, it is no longer using it for installations and won't allow me to manage the content that I currently have on it. If anyone else has had this issue, please let me know what I can do to fix it
    because this has been happening for a while now and I only have a few GB left on my internal drive.

    Also, I am part of the preview program, if that has anything to do with it.

    :)

    Xbox 360 Flash Drive Problem

    I am attempting to use 2 flash drives to replace my Xbox External HDD. I formatted both memory sticks and transferred all my content over from the external HDD. However, when I turn off the xbox, remove the Xbox External HDD and restart it, I can no longer
    see the 2 memory sticks in memory management. When I plug back in the Xbox External HDD, I can see the 2 memory sticks through memory management. Is it a requirement for me to have the External HDD plugged in to use the flash drives or am I just doing something
    wrong?

    Xbox One hard drive

    Hi Laxmoefoe,

    You are better off just starting a fresh and not bothering with the old Xbox you have had to have replaced. If you wanted though, you could invest in an external drive that you can save games to. Some links below for you to look at :)

    Hello CoyOsbon,

    Thanks for your post! The Xbox One supports external hard drives with a USB 3.0 Connection that are formatted to NTFS. For more info on external storage, check out: Manage
    Storage - Xbox One    .

    I hope this helps!
