    External Storage Detection Issue


    My external storage 4tb drive, made by SEAGATE, which has been working perfectly since I got it, is not being detected by my Xbox One. Most of my games are on this drive, since it has such a large storage, and I am unable to play them unless I download them
    to the internal storage. Can anyone tell me why the device is not being detected, and how to fix it?

    :)
