    External HDD


    I'm adding an external drive to my Xbox One, once I make it the default drive, do I just write off the internal as wasted space? Does the console no longer use the internal at all? I would hope it would fill that drive then move on to the external. Anybody
    know?

    :)

    External HDD

    Even if you add an external HDD the internal one will still be usable, but If my memory serves me right you can set it so that the Xbox one installs New games to the external drive instead of the internal one

    You can manage the games/content on Your HDD's in "My games & apps"... Select a game and press the menu button on Your Controller, the Select manage game then you will be able to move or copy content between Your drives/storage Devices..

    I just use the external for games. everything else goes to the internal, what ever setting you have system updates always go to the internal HDD.

    Why is all my games gone from my memory bank?

    are they stored on the internal hdd or do you have an external hdd, if external is that working.

    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.

    Do you have available any External HDD? If you have you can try to find if is a hardware issue in the Internal HDD by installing the games in a external hdd.
