    External Hard drive problem

    Tried using the USB ports at the back of the Xbox, a notification came up saying "External media storage ready", but then it disappears straight away and comes back again. I can only assume that something is faulty, however the hard drive works fine on
    my PC and the USB ports works fine for other devices, what could be wrong?

    Got a problem with the external HDD

    I have tried a couple of external hard drive enclosures. The one I have had the best success with is a Thermalake Muse 5G USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure with a Western Digital 2TB hard drive installed. To use it for games the drive has to be formatted with
    the XBOX. To use it for media you have to format it with a PC first. I have had mixed results with thumb drives. Some of them run fine and I can watch a whole movie. Others drop off in the middle of playing a movie. Stay away from drive enclosures made
    by SABRENT. I bought one and event though it says it is USB 3.0 compatible it kept dropping off. I got another and it too dropped off so then I got the Thermalake Muse 5G and it works fine. I just got a 2.5" external enclosure for an 480GB SSD from Kingwin
    and that too drops off. They all work fine with PC's but not so much on the XBOX One.

    External Xbox Storage devices not displaying.

    Yes sir. So I got the old one working again by resetting my console. However the new hard drive works fine on PC and does not show up on xbox.
