External HDD on Xbox one -> Xbox One X

hopesfall2own · Mar 11, 2018

If I have formatted an external hard drive for the Xbox One, will it work on an Xbox One X? If it does work with the X, will it have to be reformatted and wipe the existing data?

How to merge internal HDD and external HDD to separate external HDD

I am picking up my Xbox One X on Tuesday and am trying to get organised for shifting all my data over.

I have an empty 4TB external HDD and I want to merge the data on my Xbox One internal HDD and the 2TB external HDD that is attached to it onto this new external HDD. Then I can just attach the new external HDD to the Xbox One X and I'm good to go.

Problem is, I don't know how to do this. Any help?

Thanks!

Hard Drive Question

The Xbox One X has a 7200rpm internal hdd - Xone and S use 5200rpm. This makes little difference running games, but, but initial loads may be slightly slower on an external 5200 drive compared to the internal drive of the X, but
it depends on the game.

I'm getting an Xbox One X and I still intend to use my 1TB external drive for a while yet as it worked fine on my original Xbox One.

All versions of the One work the same way. So you can just plug it into the One and that's it. It will work and won't need to be reformatted.

Hi

If you have not already purchased and Xbox One X it is possible to download the Xbox One X enhanced versions of games using your existing console in preparation along with backing up your settings to the external hard drive.

I’m installing them on my console, not an External HDD. I own an Xbox One X.

If you have an external HDD or SSD directly on your console. At least with the XBOX One X it helped me to put the external drive further away and I had no login problems with my Wi-Fi

There is a known problem with USB3 and the WLAN chip of the XBOX One X. This may also apply to the XBOX One S

It was confirmed last night that any current external hard drive will work with the Xbox One X, however you may want to consider moving some of the games you play often over to the Xbox One X internal hard drive as it will probably load games quicker from
internal HDD than your external one.
