    Potential Issue Regarding External Hard Drive Support?


    When Microsoft announced the Xbox One would have external hard drive support, I bought a Seagate 1TB USB 3.0 external drive. It worked fine for a couple of months, but one day I turned the Xbox One on and it was as if there was no external drive plugged
    in at all. I tried just about every method that didn't involve losing all the data on the external drive, but nothing was successful. The Xbox One just didn't see that the external drive was plugged in. As a last resort, I plugged the external drive into my
    computer and reformatted it, then plugged the external drive back into the Xbox One. Voila, problem solved. The Xbox One instantly recognized the blank external drive and suggested setting it up for the Xbox One. Unfortunately I have to re-install all my games
    now, but at least I still have an external drive. I was never able to figure out whether the issue was on the Xbox One side or the Seagate external drive side.

    :)

    Hello Steven!

    Sounds like you're having trouble with your external hard drive being detected by your Xbox One. Take a look at this support article regarding your issue Troubleshoot
    external storage detection on Xbox One    . You may consider contacting the manufacturer of the drive itself to see if they have any further information or options regarding their product.

    Hope this helps

    Regarding USB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES not supported at launch.

    just because not supported at launch does not mean prepare for doom and gloom. My bet this is on their list, but it's one of the items that they can put a little lower down the list because everyone should be set with the 500g for a little while, at least.

    Regarding USB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES not supported at launch.

    SATA 3 is has faster transfer rates than USB 3 does atm, but even so the internal HDD connection is SATA 2 iirc. Even then you may not even achieve near full bandwidth across the USB 3 port as your external drive may not be able to transfer at that speed
    (anyone who thinks a SSD through USB is a good idea is a moron) due to the drives rpm. Not only that if you have a bad cable you won't achieve speeds faster than USB 2 even if you have a SSD with a USB 3 cable and a USB 3 port.
