    Question about external hard drive activity with instant on mode


    I 'm not paranoid about it being active when the console is off but I'm curious about what it does. I have a Seagate back up 4TB drive. When I powered down my console off at first the Seagate led light was never on. A day or so later the light was always
    on when the system was powered down. Do any external hard drive models led's turn on and off as the console checks for updates periodically?

    :)

    How to make external hard drive the main download drive?

    okay instant on mode is already off because that's your way to get it to work with external hard drive it's an energy mode right now. And I have to keep the x box on in order for it to download to that hard drive. So you're saying leave the instant on mode
    off and keep it on energy mode, and try to download to the internal hard drive? if it works with the external hard drive then it should work with the internal hard drive doing it that way shouldn't it? Because it does work with the external hard drive with
    it on energy mode

    Kinect stops working randomly. Full Reboot fixes it

    I'm having this issue, and have noticed that it only happens when using energy-saving mode AND I start the console with an external hard drive plugged in. If I unplug the external drive first and power on, the kinect operates as it should. Also, if left
    in instant-on mode, the kinect operates fine when resuming with the external drive plugged in.

    Xbox One Auto Update (NOT)

    Are you using instant on or power saving mode? Do you have external hard drives? If you are using power saving mode, auto update will not work.

    How to make external hard drive the main download drive?

    hi, I'm just up dating my post about the external hard drive., as found a new issue. It seems that when I set the Power and Startup set to "Instant On", and the setting "When Xbox is off turn off storage", is unchecked, and I'm using the external hard drive
    at the main download hard drive. When I'm downloading updates, games or DLC it seems to NOT want to work automatically in sleep mode when I shut the Xbox off. Although the power light stays on the power supply, and still connected to network, as I can see
    the light on my switcher, i notice the external hard drive power is off. and nothing is getting downloaded. updates and DLC do not get downloaded to the external hard drive in instant on mode? it seems I have to put it back into energy saving mode before
    I start downloading, and let the Xbox stay on the whole time. is there another setting that I missing to fix this?
