I need help whit my external storage

i believe so too due to both hard drives work fine on my pc, and if i wanted to use them for gaming storage i could. sadly, sending them to a friend to test isn't an option, and if it was, assuming it worked for them, we wouldn't be any closer as to why its not doing what it should on my console and with about 8 or 9 different salutions trying to solve the problem, all of which should of worked if the console was the problem, as much as i believe it IS the console, i have to try all options and assume the possibility it might have something to do with the type of hard drive. and if i did buy a memory stick that meets the requirements, at least i can say i tried

I've tried with other hard drives. everything i've tested seems to work as normal, even after doing what was in that video, it then detected the hard drive, asking if it needs formatting, but once i clicked the 'media' option, back to square one. its as if everything works fine, except the control will not detect NTFS formated hard drives

Thank you for replying, but that didn't help. useful skill to know but the hard drive still isnt being detected

I understand, as I said I believe it may be a problem on your console and not your external hard drives, would you have someone who has an Xbox to be able to test the same hard drives and see if it would work normally?

Still didn't work, whats worse is the hard drive its not detecting for 'media' use is what i used for the update, and the update came through without issue

it's as i said earlier, its as if everything is working fine, expect for detecting 'media' storage devices

im even tempted to get a different brand named storage device. i should have to buy another one, knowing that these ones are working fine, but if i have to go that fair an it works, at least it works, but if it doesn't, its only gonna annoy me more
