Xbox one external storage options?

Hi DSad777. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

You can purchase an external hard drive to store games and apps on.

For an external storage drive to save games and apps from Xbox, it must meet the following requirements:

- USB 3.0 connection. If you're using a USB hub, the hub must also be USB 3.0 or later.

- 128 GB or larger storage capacity.

- A partition. Typically, drives come with a preformatted partition. For more info about partitioning an external hard drive, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Manufacturers such as Seagate and Western Digital sell external drives specifically for Xbox consoles, but any USB hard drive that meets the above requirements should be compatible.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Troubleshoot external storage detection on Xbox One u can try the options it's not call Xbox customer service

uk.gamespot.com/.../xbox-one-wont-support-external-storage-at-launch-6413955

It wont support it straight away from launch

Article also says Sony have no plans to make this an option ever for PS4

I doubt it. Between internal and external options right now there is more then storage space. Even without the external option there is ample storage space.

If I remember correctly, there is an option in one of the setting sub menus to get it to power down the external storage when the xbox is turned off
