Xbox one s; External hard drive problem

I have the xbox one s and I have a 3.0 usb 1tb. I plug in the external hard drive, but it won't take my other games nor let me download games while the hard drive plug in. Yes, I have formatted it twice already. When I move my games it takes a minute (duh)
then it shows the download...I waited a whole 2hours nothing downloaded stay on qued all of the games. I try to install nothing work. As soon as I take it out and unstalled a small game like minecraft, it downloaded right away.

External Hard Drives: De-Formatting From Xbox One

I am going to tell you how to remove the formatting on a External Hard Drive from a Xbox One.

Requirements:

Xbox 360

1. Insert external hard drive into Xbox 360

2. Go into System

3. Go into Storage

4. Press 'Y' on External Hard Drive (Will be called "unformatted device")

5. Click on Format

6. The External Hard Drive will now contain the Xbox 360's formatting.

7. If you do not want the Xbox 360's formatting on the External Hard Drive, all you need to do is format the External Hard Drive on a computer. Otherwise, if you don't care that the Xbox 360's formatting is on the External Hard Drive, then ignore this step.

Hope This Helped Anyone Who Did Not Know How To Remove An Xbox One's Formatting From An External Hard Drive!

 

External hard drive upgrading to Xbox one s

I have about 1.5 TB of games on my external hard drive. I'm thinking of upgrading from my launch Xbox one to an Xbox one s. If I plug my external hard drive into the Xbox one s, will it make me reformat the hard drive and redownload my games? I have metered
internet so I really can't afford to lose that much software.
