Xbox one s with external HDD / log out live

Hello Red,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand having issues staying logged in when external is connected. We recommend to first try a different USB port on the Xbox. If that doesn't work there is most likely something corrupt on the external causing the
issue. The only thing to be done would be re-format the external and re-download the games on it.

Thanks,

Brad

I upgraded to a One X from a 360 and I didn`t realise everything had to be downloaded either. And my first game install was Halo 5 and that was a whopping 107GB.

The following day I went out and bought a Seagate Xbox 2TB external HDD.

No more buying a new game and having a quick go, lol

so is there an advantage to having an "XBOX HDD" rather than say a 'WD HDD'?

It`s just a licensed external HDD that is manufactured by Seagate for the Xbox, it`s green and says Xbox on the front. They do one for the PS as well, only in blue.

You can use any external HDD as long as it is USB 3.0.

I only bought it as I managed to get it at a reduced price as I had some vouchers for the store I bought it from.

If you are referring to disk games stored on external hdd they don't apply

Only digital games downloaded from Xbox live work on series s

external hdd's are not fast enough for the new series s/x optimised games and therefore have to run off the internal ssd or the new expansion cards, all xbox one games and 360 BC games can run off your external hdd.

1. Have console connected to Xbox Live to update online gamertag profile. (May need to play and save game to update online gamertag profile or add any recent achievements) 2. Carefully transfer all save data to 2TB external drive. 3. Follow support link
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/add-remove-hard-drive to remove Internal HDD 4. Turn on console with external 2TB HDD connected, and without being logged into Xbox Live; Press Guide Button on controller, and download your gamertag profile
to external HDD. (Make sure your gamertag profile is working online, by checking to see if save data can be used on external HDD for games, as new System File should be created to external HDD) 5. Follow step 3 to install Internal HDD, and restart console
with external HDD connected. 6. Follow support link http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/storage to format Internal HDD (You will need access to back of console for console serial number) Note: If, System File or Gamertag Profile is created to
Internal HDD, after format; Just delete them, after you confirm that they are safely stored to External HDD etc.
