Problem installing some games on external hard drive XBox One S

Hi everyone,

I'm recently encountering issues with few games when trying to install them on the external hard drive of my Xbox One S.

To be precise, my external hard drive is a HDD on a docking station connected by USB 3.0 cable.

I've tested this with several games, from the Store and from the BattlePass.

So far, the issue occurred with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Marvel Avengers.

If I install those games on the internal storage, they get installed successfully but when I try to install them on the external drive the installation stops randomly.

I even attempted several times to resume the installation, it progresses a little bit and then stops again.

I followed instructions like restarting the console, unplugging the power cable for a couple of minutes, removed the ethernet cable, tried to install using Wi-Fi, formatted the external drive, deleted stored data files, completely removed the games from any storage but the issue would persist.

I tried also to move/copy (tested both) the games from the internal storage to the external one and the same thing happens. It starts to transfer and then it stops randomly at different percentages.

When testing other games, I picked large games as well as games that didn't require much space.

As I said, they all installed with no problems except the ones I mentioned above.

I do not have any other external drive to test this issue but I assume the HDD is not the problem since it works with all other games.

Internet connection is not the problem either as it works smoothly to download and install content, watch Netflix, and play online.

Any idea?

Thanks

:)
