    Managing storage


    I purchased a new Seagate 2TB 3.0 external hard drive and plugged it in, yet it doesn't show up for me to transfer games etc. I already did everything the Xbox assist explained for troubleshooting the issues and still no access to the external hard drive
    storage device. "Is there any one out there that can help me out?"

    :)

    Managing Storage

    When it autosaves it puts it on your hardrive or other USB drives. (whatever you pick). and once it saves you can go to xbox home, go to settings, console settings, storage, and copy, delete, and move files from hardrive to USB.

    DO you have a computer/laptop to hook it up too? When I first purchased my HD for what ever reason it would read at ALL. I ended up connecting it to my laptop and had to format it. Then when I connected it back to my console it did what it was supposed
    to. Only issue now is sometimes when console updates and it power it on it wont show any content on my HD. I then just unplug/replug and its fine.

    I'm assuming you are referring to the Xbox One storage management and not the Xbox 360, correct? If this is the case, this is something that should be posted on the Xbox
    LIVE Wishlist/Feedback     forums so the right group of people see it and hopefully this can be implemented.

    Might sound a little obvious but make sure your console is switched off before connecting an external HDD to either of the rear USB ports.

    I had that problem with mine, wouldn`t recognise the HDD if connected when the console was on.
