    USB Drive "not strong enough"?? - cannot connect USB drive to XBOX One


    HI, my Xbox One 1TB of HDD is nearly filled... so I got me a external HDD with USB ... but the XBOX "sees" it, but gives me an error message something like "connection not strong enough"

    I tried another cable, another (working) USB-drive ... always get this error message...any idea what I can do?

    Thx a million

    Dan

    Transfer files from pc to xbox

    Well I tried using the flash drive. Below are the steps that I followed to transfer games through flash drive:

    1. Downloaded the iso file of the game from torrent site.
    2. Used ISO2GOD to transfer the game from computer hard drive to flash drive.
    3. Plugged the USB in Xbox.
    4. When I try to browse the USB, it doesn't show anything to browse USB, only two options are available on Xbox, 1. configure USB storage for Xbox 360, 2. Customize.

    When flash drive didn't worked I tried the FTP. As per online forums I followed every single step very closely with firewall and internet security disabled but FTP Client fails to connect to Xbox IP.

    Do I have to crack/hack/mod my Xbox in order to transfer games and play on it???

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

    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

    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.

    I have a 2TB hard drive I want to use on an Xbox One but the Hard Drive has PS4 system software installed

    Yes, use a PC to format the drive. No, there is no way to insert an internal drive into an Xbox One, but you could purchase a hard drive enclosure with a USB 3.0 connection, and install the hard drive in that, then connect it to the Xbox One with the USB
    cable.

    External Hard Drive

    External drives must be at least 256GB and support USB 3.0 on Xbox One. Slower USB 2.0 drives are not supported, ensuring data will transfer very quickly between your console and the drive.

    Is it a USB 3.0 drive?

    If you connect it to a PC is it recognized there?
