  1. External HDD issue with Xbox series S


    My Xbox series S will no longer transfer games to my external HDD. I’ve noted that once the external HDD gets to about 3GB of data the transfer from internal storage will start to slow down the eventually the external HDD will disconnect from the Xbox. If I reset the Xbox (holding button down for 10 seconds) the Xbox will reboot and sometimes it will recognize the external HDD again but the transfer will not continue. I have tried various games all of which stop at about 3GB. I have managed to move Xbox 360 games across but again when it gets to about 3GB full it starts to play up. I have tried a new lead for external HDD. I have also tried downloading games from store directly to the external HDD but every time it stops around 3GB. The External HDD is a 2TB Seagate drive. The external HDD passes all tests on seagate tools program when plugged into windows. I have also used disk clean to wipe drive and format as NTFS prior to installing on Xbox again. Every time I get the same result. This has only started occurring since Xbox update late February 2024. Any help greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Is my version of callisto protocol next gen?

    Do you have the one s or the series s

    The one s is NOT series console

    Also it MUST BE installed on the internal or external storage card not.external hdds

    Next gen games cannot be installed on external hdds as they are just too slow

    With the current state of.calisto protocol.it's best not.to use Ray tracing unless you have a series x as even high end pcs have trouble with it

    Storage device, Series X/S

    external hdd's are not fast enough for the new series s/x optimised games and therefore have to run off the internal ssd or the new expansion cards, all xbox one games and 360 BC games can run off your external hdd.

    What do I do if my Xbox won’t let me have no more then 4. Games and I have a external storage but it keeps making me move all my games

    series s and x games can only run from the internal storage or official (rip off) expansion card. only xbox one and 360 bc games can run off the external hdd.
    So I cannot download GTA Xbox series s/x edition on my external hardware?

    I can't see the games on my Xbox one game console in Xbox series s.

    If you are referring to disk games stored on external hdd they don't apply

    Only digital games downloaded from Xbox live work on series s

    Slow Xbox one x (Not Series Console)

    Fyi series consoles are just xboxes series x or s

    Not xbox one series

    Just to reduce the confusion

    You gotta remember people mistake xbox one x for a series x when it comes to requirements for example flight simulator

    With xbox one games they don't have a listing for s or x they are all compatible

    Where series s or x just means digital or disk

    Disk games don't work with series s or one s digital edition

    Back to your problem.

    Are you using an external hdd ?

    Also when it slows down again is it because you are filling up your hdd?

    As space becomes less computers do slow down

    It would be better to get an external drive and put infrequent games on there so you don't too much things on your internal drive
