Glitched hard drives

RUFFNECK 16 · Nov 17, 2019

With the last two updates I've had two hard drives stop working and can't figure out why because I hooked them up to my laptop and there all good so if anyone knows what's going on it would be a great help.

It no longer Detects the hard drive and I've checked the ports and they seem to be functioning just fine

If its the HDD causing the problem then I'd recommend moving all your current game saves to another hard drive. Not all hard drives are compatible or work particularly well with the xbox one and this is mainly down to either the size of the HDD or the manufacturer.
Can you get back to me on how big the hard drive actually is and the manufacturer. thanks.

By stop working do you mean your Xbox can no longer read/detect the hard drives or is the installed and saved data on the hard drive corrupted?

In any means, if you're console cannot detect the hard drives you should check out this troubleshooter here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/troubleshooting/console-doesnt-detect-external-storage

Hi,

If a hard drive is becoming unformatted again and again it likely leads to a problem with the hard drive itself, not the update, honestly.

It's likely that your specific hard drive has a problem reading/writing at the same time, and when something like that happens (an update) that requires both downloading -> reading -> writing (to the hard drive), it's likely that it's glitching or crashing
in some instance.

I'd suggest changing your hard drive out if you're experiencing this each and every time.
