    USB drive, external USB drive didn't work with Xbox one. Do you know if it will have a update to connect a USB external hard drive?

    I think it's a big missing. Possibility to play MP3, pictures, video from the External drive and perhaps extend Xbox one capacity storage.

    Hope it will have a update soon...

    Thank you for answer me

    :)

    Xbox USB HDD random HDD disconnections.

    All is USB 3.0 drives with USB 3.0 cables.

    All is USB powered 2.5" drives.

    It could be power unstability or something in USB ports on Xbox One of course.

    External powered 3.5" could probably work better.

    External power on HDD could of course make the drives more stable. I could replace them with a external 4.TB later.

    External Seagate 2TB Game Drive for Xbox 360 gets Device not allowed error

    I have an xbox 360 that was running off a 8GB USB thumb drive with NO internal drive.

    I just purchased an seagate 2TB external usb game drive for xbox which is compatible with both the xbox one and xbox 360. When I started a game it asks where I want to store the game and I chose the external 2TB drive. I get the error “Device not allowed”.
    “The game only permits installing HD content on the Xbox 360 Hard Drive”. I bought a genuine Xbox USB external drive was expecting it to work seamlessly.

    USB drive, external drive didn't work with Xbox one.

    You can already use USB Flash drives and hard drives on Xbox One to view videos, music and pictures. To view these files you first need to download the Media Player Preview App from the Xbox One Marketplace. Connect your device and load the app.

    To use an external hard drive for Xbox One storage, the device itself must be at least 256GB and USB 3.0. Which means the external storage for Xbox One data must be a hard drive, USB Flash drives are not supported for Xbox One storage.

    Seagate external hard drive for Xbox one x

    Is your Seagate drive a USB 3.0 drive. If it is a USB 1 or 2 then it will not be fast enough to work on the Xbox One. You would need to purchase a USB 3.0 external hard drive for it to work.

    Hard drive

    Is the external hard drive 3.0 usb or higher? If not, it won't work with the Xbox One.

    Xbox One - migrate external drive contents to a larger drive?

    Thanks for all the response so far. I only wish to retain one external drive attached the console - the old drive will be repurposed.

    I knew you could transfer from internal drive to external from the Xbox menus - didn't realize it would allow external to external drives as well; if so that's perfect.

    The main limitation I have now is I only have one USB external drive enclosure, and I have 2 standalone 2.5" SATA drives - so hooking them both up at the same time to the Xbox is currently not an option. My idea would have been connect the existing and
    new drives to a PC to migrate the data; and then put the new drive in the USB enclosure.

    I do have an older WD Passport USB drive. I suppose I could copy 500GB to Passport via the Xbox. Then swap 1TB drive into the USB enclosure and copy Passport to 1TB via the Xbox.

    Can't play Xbox Original Games

    So no USB drive would work in place of the external hard drive?

    Even if it is SanDisk, which I think is a preconfigured USB drive for the Xbox.
