Hard Drive Storage Limit

if adverts for "compatible" external hard drives are any indication it would seem the external storage patch should be coming some time soon although I note it wont be in the first patch released.

Since this is a Third Party product we don't know much about it and what it runs if you google it and see if it uses NTFS storage type it'll work with the console USB 3.0 works as well but you all ready know the device has it.

Here's a Official Xbox External HDD product:

Hey there

The drive should work just fine with the console Are you experiencing any problems?

I'd check
this KB for some answers

If you have troubles with recognizing the drive I would recommend testing it on a PC with
WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool and see if the drive is recognized and if it passes both the quick and the extended tests.

If you happen to have any problems or questions, feel free to ask!

Captain WD is correct!

Apologies i didn't see the format type until later. the link you provided has an external HDD that should work fine. I apologies for my mistake i should've looked at the details more clearly.

Hey, I'm glad it turned out to be a simple small thing. File formats are often overlooked and cause such problems, but it's not a big deal. I'm glad the problem is fixed.

Feel free to post back if you happen to have other questions!

Hello there,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. As previously mentioned by our Ambassador's in regards to your question about the External Hard Drive for your Xbox 360, you will need to get an External that is compatible with the Xbox one. The external hard drive
that you have for your 360 will not be compatible with the Xbox one. If you would like more info on

Managing the Storage for Xbox One or for

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.

External disc drives will not be compatible with the Xbox One as external hard drives do. If the drive is bad, then you should start a service request
for it at Microsoft Device Support.

Hi GHURAB10,

Sorry you're having issues with your external hard drive. To answer your immediate question, no, the recent Xbox Update should work with hard drives that were previously compatible. If you're having issues with a hard drive I would suggest following

this article for troubleshooting steps. If you're still having issues after that, please post back detailing the exact issue you're having, and the hard drive make / model.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately you will need to get the Xbox brand hard drives, since external ones aren't compatible with the console

No it will not kill your hard drive. Just make sure you get an external hard drive compatible with Xbox.
