    External HDD Locked to XB1?


    I just hooked a 1TB external HDD to my Xbox One to see how it works out. My Xbox One's HDD is only half full so there is no need yet to use the External. I tried hooking my External HDD to my PC and it won't show up in My Computer. Is it locked to the Xbox
    one and not able to be used by any other device? This is a big problem if so because I've not seen anything say this at all. The Xbox 360 external storage allowed you to format it from your PC. Hopefully there is a solution to this.

    :)

    External HDD

    Yes External HDD support is available. The External HDD must be at least 256GB in size and use USB 3.0. Keep in mind that the External HDD will have to be formatted for use with the Xbox One console.

    The Xbox One will format it to its own needs, meaning you won't be able to use it with a PC until you reformat it from there, which you should be able to do.

    I got the 3TB version and this is what I Replying to all the Hard Drive question here as this needs to be fixed Please

    I got a WD MyBook and I like it, but it doesn't shut down like it does with a computer

    I say Xbox needs to make the Xbox One power off USB when you turn the One off

    Please fix this issue Xbox

    Instant On features haven't worked in over a year, can anyone help me get it working again???

    Plus my over 100 XBLA games that I can't play anymore on xb1, and I have 72 games on my xb1 between internal and external HDD. Before anyone suggests it....these features stopped working long before I got an external hdd, lol.

    Gamestop emplorer mention that you have to be gold at all times on xbox one, I bet it's not true.

    The XB1 will fully support up to 3TB of external HDD, though. There's no need for a removable internal drive.
