    A Couple Questions

    I've never had an issue and I use small keychain flash drives and external HD. I don't want stuff fluttering my xbox hd that I don't frequently use... I've never had a problem. The safe remove option is more for when your inserting and removing flash
    drives while power is on like pc and laptops.

    External HD (WD My Passport) always on and than corrupted game installs - finally not detected anymore!

    I have used an external HD (WD My Passport - 500gb) on my Xbox One for the last month. I am on instant on and noticed the external HD never turned off, even when console got turned off. A few days ago my system began to behave strangely and, after a simple
    reboot, I noticed my external HD was not detected anymore. The Xbox also got suck at the green loading boot screen and only after many tries it turned on again (hours booting). The external HD showed up and, when I tried to boot a game, it gave me a corrupted
    game install message (the game was on external). Straight afterwards the external HD was not recognized again.

    I lost 300gb of downloads and am trying to fix the external HD on a windows PC (running a full erase). My Xbox One works normally without an external HD. Could the Xbox have ruined my external HD, as it never got turned off for a whole month? I read similar
    problems in another xbox forum topic. Something to do with last update? How am I supposed to fit games in the small 500gb internal HD?

    My Xbox 360 Slim isn't detecting its HDD when it's in its slot

    Hello Zynika.
    My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today.
    At first I think that the problem is in your internal reading slot of the external Xbox 360 HD, it would be interesting if you could test another external HD to see if it also does not read when inserted in the internal reader of the Xbox 360.

    Xbox One USB Power Questions

    Go to Settings>Power & Startup and check Turn off storage when Xbox is off. That will turn off your external drive when the console is shut down. As for in Instant On mode I don't see my storage device on when the console is shut down.

    Xbox One Not Turning On Via Controller or Kinect

    My issue is similar, however I am able to turn on my Xbox with the controller. It just goes to the green boot screen, which suggests it shut completely off.

    I just did a quick test, and put my Xbox on standby for a few minutes. I had one download going at the time, with 4 others queued up. When I turned my Xbox back on, it had not shut completely down, but my external HD seemed like it had stopped running. All
    downloads had paused, and the Xbox started redownloading them after shuffling the installation order around a bit. I do NOT have my Xbox set to turn off the external when it shuts down, so downloads shouldn't stop when I put my Xbox in standby.

    This is obviously disconcerting, as I'd like to have downloads continue when I go to work or elsewhere, without having to keep the Xbox One on the entire time.
