    Xbox Hard Drive Pop Up Problem on New Series S


    I have the new series S with an external harddrive plugged into it. When I am playing games it constantly will shut down and let me know the external drive is ready. Is there a solution to fix this? it has become very annoying as it happens midgame.

    Play Xbox One games from an external HDD on Series S

    Yes, you can play Xbox One games on your Series S from an external hard drive without causing problems. Just make sure the drive is a USB 3.0 hard drive with a minimum capacity of 128 GB, you can go up to 16 TB if you wish. You can also connect up to 3 external hard drives to your console as well.

    Xbox 360 S Hard Drive

    The 4g Xbox doesn't have a hard drive. It's flash memory... it shows up as memory unit, not a hard drive. So yes, you absolutely can add a hard drive. Just purchase the HDD for the S model and pop off the cover and slip it in.

    xbox series x seagate from xbox one not showing any games when plugged into the series x

    Hi,

    Do you still have your Xbox One and does your external hard drive still work on that console?

    I have successfully connected both my Seagate 'Game Drive' and my external SSD USB 3.0 drives to my Series S without any problems. All my installed games show up fine.

    The Series X/S supports the same external drives as the Xbox One/S/X support. If your drive isn't being detected it's probably become corrupted or has a hardware issue.

    Copy games/savegames to Series S

    Any game you bought digitally will be playable day one, along with your game saves as they save to the Cloud, when you load up your games on your new Xbox Series S, your save data should sync and be available to you straight away.

    As for the disks you own, yes unfortunately you will have to repurchase them and own them digitally on the Series S. (Although some good news, from the time posting this reply Assassin's Creed Odyssey is on sale for $14.99 as opposed to its original $59.99
    price mark, only 3 days remaining on this current sale)

    For the external hard drive, you can transfer all your digital games to the hard drive and use it on your Xbox Series S.

    One thing I personally cannot say for certain is if those games loading from the external hard drive will run the same way they would if they were installed straight onto the console, but regardless you can save yourself time when your Xbox Series S shows
    up & load up your old games using your external hard drive with all your save progress.
