    I was using my Xbox perfectly fine last night, woke up today and completely randomly all of my games on my storage expansion card were not showing up. The device does not show up in storage devices in settings either. I’ve tried unplugging it, restarting my console, even hard restarting it and it does not show up. Extremely frustrating as it just happened overnight and nothing has worked.

    :)

    Xbox Series X questions

    You have two options with the Series X, either the official expansion card which adds 1TB extra storage, and you can run your Series X Enhanced games directly from it (link below):

    Or you can run a USB External hard drive, but you will need to copy your Series X Enhanced games from that to your internal SSD before being able to play. This is the cheaper solution if your happy to copy the games back and forth as you wish, other wise
    it's the official Seagate expansion card.

    Hope that helps

    Why can I not install game pass games on the USB external hard drive?

    External HD

    You would have to use the Seagate expansion card that is made for the Series X. That is currently the only additional storage device you can use for optimized games.

    Storage Device too slow error

    Xbox Series X|S games can only be installed on the console's internal storage or the external Seagate SSD card. Link here. External drives are too slow for those games. The external hard drive can only be used to install backward compatible games (Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One).
