    All my games are gone and don’t want to reinstall

    Can you (just for testing purposes) unplug the Seagate hard drive and try to install one game on your internal hard drive?

    If that works, try if it's possible to format the Seagate Harddrive on a PC, and do NOT use Quick format. With Quick Format, only the "table of contents" of a hard drive get overwritten, but by doing a "regular" format, each part of the drive will be formatted,
    and you can check if parts of the drive platter became defective.

    If the Format was successful, try to connect the drive to your console again, and have the console format it again for game storage.

    If the drive shows signs of corruption or is unable to be formatted on PC, check on the Seagate website, if the drive is within warranty and can be replaced/repaired.

    Xbox One Hard Drive Full at 362 GB

    I could not help but notice a few of you mentioned getting a SEAGATE external hard drive once support for external drives is enabled. I work in on computers for a living, STAY AWAY FROM SEAGATE DRIVES!!!!!

    A while back, Seagate bought out Maxtor, and with it, millions and millions of their worthless drive platters.

    I strongly suggest Western Digital Black or Green series. You will not regret it; it is highly likely you will regret a Seagate purchase in the medium to long run. If you do get a bad WD drive, they routinely overnight replacements to my shop all the time,
    and that client's hard drive just works from then on. Seagate drags their feet, and then sends you another Seagate (many times a refurb)

    Its like asking for another bullet after you get shot.

    Just sayin'

    External hard drive

    Pretty much any hard drive is covered however, some people have experienced connection issues with the Seagate brand.

    If you get a hard drive and have trouble seeing it when it is connected then try hooking it to your PC and format it.

    I NEED HELP

    Plug the hard drive in the pc, and download the seagate diagnostic tools, then install them. Once installed launch it, and it will check your drive for any errors, and if it can, try to fix them. If the drive cannot be fixed, then contacting seagate will
    be your only option for a repair or replacement drive.

    Backwards compability for USB 3.0 External hardrives on XBox 360?

    Seagate drives are not poor quality. I have used many Seagate drives in PC builds and never seen one fail. The reason they don't work with 360 is that the firmware used by Xbox was not designed for Seagate drives - nothing to do with quality.
