Xbox One External Hard Drive Question

M3T4L HUNTER · Sep 1, 2015

I have a 500GB Xbox One, so you can imagine im short or space for games. so i was looking at getting a
Toshiba HDTB330EK3CA 3 TB 2.5-Inch USB 3.0 Canvio Basics External HDD
(URL at the bottom).

Firstly: is it compatable with an Xbox One?

Secondly: if it is, how do i connect the two?

Will the Xbox One support a external hard drive?

Question: Will the Xbox One support a external hard drive? Like a regular one?

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.

Hello!

Yes, this drive will work with Xbox One very well! All you'll need to do is remove it from the box and plug it in. Turn on your Xbox One console and it will see your drive and make it available as storage.

Here's a review from another user who used this drive for their Xbox One:

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.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that the issue is persistent on the External Hard Drive.

Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a PC?

Does the PC recognize the external hard drive?

Does the external hard drive meet the specifications for the Xbox One?

If the problem persists, I recommend to try a different external hard drive on the Xbox if possible. One thing we want to make sure, Are the ports on the Xbox One functioning?

Let us know.

Hi,

Okay. I can't find any hard drive special for Xbox One in my counry. Then one more question; can I use any external hard drive for Xbox One. If I can, just I need to format it for Xbox One. Am I right?
