I need someone with knowledge and expertise when it comes to external hard drives and the xbox ...

Where to begin? I want to say I have 750gb western digital hdd with a usb powered enclosure kit(right now I have 514 digital games between my 250 gb slim hdd and the external).

I recently had on background downloads and tried to download XCOM Enemy Unknown. I experienced so many issues over the past week, I am going to do a list of the experiences.

1)Every huge digital game download would get to a percentage(usually 12%), go to 0% then 80% and finally 100% before saying whatever game could not download.

2)A lot of hard freezing of the system, more than normal.

3) After every huge digital game would not download it would cause all my games on my external harddrive to have a yellow exclamation mark besides them until I removed and reinserted the external hdd back in.

Until earlier today I thought it was a hard drive related so I have done this list all week trying to fix the hard drive, because despite not being able to download to it I can play my digital games on it without a problem.

1)Clearing the cache 3 times back to back before restarting the console on both hard drives.

2)Googling like crazy and reading various tips.

3)Turning off the background downloads option.

4)Deleting the marketplace data.

5)Trying various ports on the xbox 360 to power on the external hdd.

6)Trying different games to download.

7)Try to copy over games to the external hdd to see if it could write and not just read.

8)Just let the external hdd rest.

9)Open up enclosure kit to make sure everything is properly connected and not dirty.

10)Talk with customer support to trouble shoot.

I really wish someone with knowledge will explain to me what is going on. It can't be that the external hdd is no good because I can play from it for hours with 0 problems and that I did manage to copy over a 78mb game without any problems. Any help will
be appreciated.

Xbox One External Hard Drive Problem Please Help

This is extremely frustrating. Can someone help me please:

I have an external hard drive for my Xbox one and it has always worked fine. Today, I switched my Xbox to another tv (I regularly do this), and it starts fine without my external hard drive plugged in. But when I insert the USB cable from my external hard
drive to my Xbox, the screen goes black and won't come back on.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

Can I use a any external hard drive to download GTA: San Andreas and other Original Xbox games?

I have the 4gb internal Hard Drive Xbox 360 that comes with the Kinect and downloading GTA: SA is more than 4gb. I don't have money right now to by an official Xbox 360 Slim Hard Drive (ex. Microsoft 320gb Hard Drive with Lego Star Wars). But on some websites
they have an Xbox 360 Agptek Hard Drive that is much cheaper. Could I use that to buy and download old Xbox games on the Xbox Live Marketplace??

I tried downloading GTA: SA on my USB, but it says I need an external hard drive.
