    External storage issue. Drive not being recognised by Xbox


    Hi, there appears to be a bug with the latest xbox one update. I think OS version xb_flt_2109co.210920-1845. Before this update I could use an external drive to watch media on it, but now my drive it is not even being recognised by the xbox. Yes I have restarted my xbox and performed all the basic troubleshooting, tried reformatiing my drive and resizing it. Still problems.

    A lot of people are having this problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinside...ia_player_app_issues_for_external_hard_drive/

    Problem with Storage

    xbox one only support two external hdd's connected at any one time for game storage. the third only being able to use for media storage.

    Not sure how you are using three for game storage.

    the not enough space issue seems to be pointing at file corruption due to powering down incorrectly or another issue which i cannot find much infor about,

    from official xbox documentation

    Note Xbox will recognise only two external drives at one time.

    External hard drive not working

    Hi riverrumble7534

    Is it definitely the external hard drive causing the issue, are you able to install games/apps to intenal storage?

    What’s the make/model of the external hard drive and is it being recognised in Storage settings?

    To store games and apps, please also make sure your external storage is formatted for xbox, Is usb 3.0 or faster and 128GB or higher.

    Also please refrain from creating multiple posts for the same issue.

    Hope this helps 😊

    Xbox 360 USB memory question.

    As long as the Xbox recognises your external hard drive then you can use it for Xbox storage. However, regardless of it's size, you can only use 32GB of it's storage. Making new partitions won't work as the console will only see the primary partition.

    Xbox one s qs

    Hi

    As long as the external hard drive meets the standards below then it should work for storing games.

    If the console is switched on when you first plug the drive in it should recognise it and offer you the option to format the drive for games storage.

    "The basic requirements for storing games and apps on an external drive are:

    Has capacity of 256 GB or more, and

    Uses USB 3.0.

    Devices that don’t meet these requirements will be treated as media storage, such as for music or video. If you have a storage device that does meet these requirements for game and app storage, you can cancel the format to use it as a media device."
