    External Storage constantly disconnecting / reconnecting


    Hello;

    I have an external drive used for storage with a powered USB 3.0 enclosure. The enclosure is plugged into one of the rear USB ports on the console. I started using this setup last year (When was Doom released? Right around then.), and today the external
    storage is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. The "External Storage ready" message is appearing at least every two minutes, and naturally none of the games installed to that drive are playable when the system keeps seeing/unseeing the source drive.

    I have tried rotating the enclosure to a different port, but nothing has changed. The enclosure is receiving power. I have performed the "full" power-down of the console, and set the console's instant-on power settings to keep the external storage running. Can
    you assist me in finding out what the issue causing the constant disconnections is?

    Here is the hard drive I am using:

    ADATA Premier SP550 2.5" 960GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP550SS3-960GM-C - Newegg.com

    and here is the enclosure:

    Xbox One constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.

    I also have this problem across all games, except I am using a different router. Very frustrating!

    Xbox One constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.

    I have noticed the ping latency is ridiculous now. It was bad already but it got much worse. Which means they are doing stuff on the servers themselves which may be taking resources away from the hosts on the servers. Last I checked it was something like
    100ms which is worse then a T1. I used to have anywhere from 5 to 15ms in 360 but ever since going to the one it has never dropped below like 30ms usually around 50-60ms on average. I tore apart my networking looking for that latency until I just plugged the
    *** thing right into the modem and seen the same latency. That's how I know its them. I am thinking maybe over the next year we may get better ping times.

    Installation stopped error

    I tried disconnecting my external storage, than performing a full factory reset and tried to install (without reconnecting my external storage) Assassins Creed IV Black Flag and it stopped at the exact same point of 313.65 MB.

    External storage not allowing xbox to turn on

    Hey there EngulfedManx632.

    After you disconnect your external storage device and power your Xbox One, are you able to reconnect the device or do you run into any errors with that?

    External Storage Detection continuously disconnects and reconnects

    Hi there,

    this sounds like a connection issue, have you double check if the cable is connected properly on both sides?

    Also if possible can you try a different cable (if the storage device has a standard connection)

    You can also try unplugging the external storage device, then power cycling the xbox, then reconnecting the external storage device and see of that works.
