    xbox one external hard drive

    Hi @chaosikki!

    The only two requirements for the external storage on the console are the drive to use USB 3.0 connection and to be 256GB or more. Since the one you suggested meet these requirements you should be able to use it once you format it.

    You can take a look at this KB article about the storage if you want too:

    support.xbox.com/.../console-doesnt-detect-external-storage

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    Aa mentioned above almost any HDD over 256gb and USB will work; either 2.5" or 3.5", (if you have any spare drives you can put them in an enclosure and these will work most of the time).

    As far as I'm aware all speeds will work too such as 5,400rpm, 7,200rpm, SSHD and SSD.

    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.

    hard drive

    As an idea for xbox one hard drives because they are internal and not external try plugging in an external drive to save or transfer all important games to external hard drive and leave not so important games onto internal drive
    that way you can take them anywhere and not have hard drive failures with xbox one.

    Are you running it off of the hard drive on the Xbox One or an external one? If you are playing off of the internal drive on the Xbox One then you may want to get an external for it because that is a known issue as far as the Xbox One hard drive and this
    game.
