    Xbox One External HD


    Hello, Once an external HD is formatted to my Xbox One can instill use it for my PC? Or is my 3TB External HD a now permanent attachment for my Xbox One? Also this is a never been used before 3TB External HD. My Xbox One is saying there's only 2.7TB free.
    Is that the limit or is there a problem? Thanks!

    :)

    External HD (WD My Passport) always on and than corrupted game installs - finally not detected anymore!

    I have used an external HD (WD My Passport - 500gb) on my Xbox One for the last month. I am on instant on and noticed the external HD never turned off, even when console got turned off. A few days ago my system began to behave strangely and, after a simple
    reboot, I noticed my external HD was not detected anymore. The Xbox also got suck at the green loading boot screen and only after many tries it turned on again (hours booting). The external HD showed up and, when I tried to boot a game, it gave me a corrupted
    game install message (the game was on external). Straight afterwards the external HD was not recognized again.

    I lost 300gb of downloads and am trying to fix the external HD on a windows PC (running a full erase). My Xbox One works normally without an external HD. Could the Xbox have ruined my external HD, as it never got turned off for a whole month? I read similar
    problems in another xbox forum topic. Something to do with last update? How am I supposed to fit games in the small 500gb internal HD?

    why can't external devices be used as a secondary memory device

    USB devices aren't supported in the emulator

    You will have toove your xbox one games unto the external hd and then use the internal hd for xbox one

    Xbox One External HD

    Hi Josh,

    So currently when xbox one formats your HD when connected to the console, it is formatted in such a way that you cannot use it for any other purpose other than storing games/apps in xone console.

    However if you wish to use it for your pc/other purpose, you will need to reformat it which means, that the data which you have copied from the console either would have to be saved back to the console or it would be deleted.

    Hope this helps let me know if you have further queries.

    Regards

    DJN

    Also, the reason it is showing 2.7TB free is because of Xbox related programming that is installed when the hard drive is formatted.

    My Ext. Hard Drive shuts my XBONE off/crashes

    Hi AyeYaya,

    It sounds that the external HD may have gotten corrupted causing the Xbox One to shutdown since you are able to use the console fine without the external HD plugged in.

    Do you happen to have another external HD that meets the requirements for testing purposes? Or would you happen to be able to try that HD on another Xbox?

    You may need to delete what you have on there, re-format the HD for the Xbox One, and then download what you had on there again.

    Hi The king of riders

    Is the HD external or internal?

    If it's an external hard drive used on one xbox one, it will work perfectly on another xbox

    Got a problem with the external HDD

    Can anyone please tell me how to copy my installed games in xbox one's HD to an external HD? :/

    xbox originals

    its an external or internal attachment you must buy depending on your model

    if it is the old arcade units it an external hd (you need an offical xbox one) or the internal 250 gig hd s for the 4 gig xbox s units
