    Xbox one external hardrive issue


    my Seagate 1tb external hardrive randomly stopped working, my xbox still recognizes it as being there, but the name i gave the drive no longer exists, and all data stored on it has dissappeared. When i attempt to download anything on the drive, it says that
    storage is full.

    :)

    External Hardrive ISSUE

    The hard drive has either gone corrupt or defective.

    You will need to plug it into a Windows PC and reformat (as NTFS). This will erase the drive, so you'll have to install/download your games again.

    If the hard drive is not being detected at all by your PC, it may have gone bad. One way to especially tell if a hard drive has gone defective is to put it up against your ear and listen for repetitive patterns of clicking noises.

    Xbox one external hardrive issue

    Have you tried a hard reset EXACTLY like this.

    Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

    If that doesn't work you might try formatting the drive again.

    External hard drive

    I as well have experienced some issues, bought 2 new original green xbox one external hardrives and both say that there is not enough power or are to slow- bought 2 of the xbox slim white external hardrives and they work fine. Please note that I tired
    all trouble shooting options and tried them on 3 seperate Xboxes - 2 slims and a one x

    Which Xbox One model would be best 4 me?

    Currently it would be hard to find an Xbox One with a hardrive with more than 500GB, that being said you should invest in either an external hardrive or a new hardrive with at least a 1TB.
