    Media Player doesn't recognize any USB storage devices.


    I just bought a Seagate USB 3.0 External hard drive. When I go to storage through settings is shows the device there but when I choose to view contents the Media Player says no USB device is connected. What's going on?

    :)

    Seagate Game Drive 4 tb only recognized as media device, no option to format it for games

    If it only recognizes it as media storage then its does not see the device as a USB 3 device, which is needed for game storage.

    xbox one external hard drive

    eagles1253,

    Has this device ever worked on the Xbox One? Keep in mind that external storage devices need to be USB 3.0 with 256GB or more on them to be recognized as capable of saving games and apps to them. If it is less than that, try browsing the store for an App
    called Media Player. It might be reading it there due to size.

    2 Tb Hard Drive but cannot save games?

    Is this Hard drive USB 3.0? If it isnt, then it will only be recognized for media storage, and not for game storage
