External hardrive

Hi im thinking off getting a external hardrive for my xbox one my question is will i be able to load my games from disc onto the external hardrive or is it for downloads only

 

Disconnect the hard drive

try to power cycle your console. Please hold down the power button on the front of the console for approximately 15 seconds until the power light shuts off. Wait about 60 seconds, then power it back on. Be sure you see the green "XBOX ONE" animation loading
screen when you power it back up. then connect back i hope that help

but if you here a clinking noise maybe you're drive is damage.

 

It didnt help, but i didnt hear a clicking noise, just the usual noise it makes

 

Have you gone through this information on connecting an external HDD?

Troubleshoot External Storage Drive Detection | Xbox One External Storage

 

I already did that, nothing worked

 

Sometimes external HDD die, have you tried connecting the drive to your PC to see if it can recognize it? If the PC doesn't see it too then it's probably the external storage that is faulty.
