    Western digital easystore external drive stopped working after nov2020 update.


    Last night I played until around 9pm. Xbox got turned off and I went to sleep. This morning I turned xbox on to find that my external isn't being seen by the Xbox. I went through every troubleshooting step. During this process I found that xbox was updated
    at 9:18pm last night. That is the only thing I can come up with. Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions for me?

    :)

    External Hard Drive/Xbox issue. Scratching my head.

    There are some great info here on how to solve the external hard drive issue. I have 2 western digital 4 TB hard drives on my xb1 and had a issue with one them not being readable. I have to say that the guy at western digital's support was fantastic! He
    walked through all the steps to reformat the drive and get in back working with the xb1.

    When in doubt try calling the drives costumer support.

    Now the issue I have is after a xbox1 os preview update both drives become unreadable! If you have this issue that after it resets after install of the os update is to unplug the drive and do a hard reboot, After the restart plug the drive back into the
    usb port and this should restore the external drive access. I wish MS would fix this in a future update!

    Xbox One External Hard drive Performance.

    I also have the Seagate 4TB External Drive.

    Mine also works fine.

    However I am reliably told by people in the Industry that Western Digital make the best external drives.

    Is My Hard Drive Bad?

    Hello, MarbleBag590. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    The Western Digital Easystore is compatible with Xbox. It should be working just fine. What exact console do you have?

    Xbox Series S/X optimized games cannot be run from External HDs, only on the internal drive and SSD expansion cards, but other games are able to run on external HDs just fine.

    Do you have a computer to test it? Does it show on the computer?

    What are the best xbox one compatible external hard drives for less than $100.00?

    You said under $100.00 but this is a steal at $116.00:

    Western Digital, 4TB External HD.

    I have the Seagate 4TB which is the same one Major Nelson was using when they came out but a friend who works in IT says Western Digital is the best make to go for.
