    Xbox One X Occasionally Not Recognizing External Hard Drives


    Every once in a while (which is more like once a week when I turn on my Xbox One X), it will fail to recognize one of the two hard drives. Rarely, it will not recognize both.

    I have scanned the hard drives (2.5" WD 4TB HDD's tat 5400 RPM) usingDrive DX, and they are in perfect working condition, with no errors, hardware issues, etc.

    The only way I know of at this point to solve this issue is to unplug and then plug back in the hard drive(s) having the issue.

    I'm hoping this is a software issue that can be resolved in a short period of time. Anyone else have this issue, or have possible ways to avoid it?

    My son Xbox one External hard drive won't connect to Xbox one one what do I do and if not how do I get his save game off it

    Perhaps your child's external hard drive is not working. Is your child's external hard drive recognized by the Xbox One? Does it turn on any lights?

    Can you transport Xbox 360 / One games on a Harddrive of some sort on a Series X?

    If you have an Xbox One with an external USB 3.0 hard drive connected to it with games installed on it. Then just disconnect the drive from the Xbox One, and connect it to the Series X, the drive should be recognized, and you should be able to play the games without having to install them.

    Memoria esterna non rilevata e il controller non risponde ai comandi [Translation - External memory is not detected and the controller does not respond to commands]

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that the issue is persistent on the External Hard Drive.

    Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a PC?

    Does the PC recognize the external hard drive?

    Does the external hard drive meet the specifications for the Xbox One?

    If the problem persists, I recommend to try a different external hard drive on the Xbox if possible. One thing we want to make sure, Are the ports on the Xbox One functioning?

    Let us know.
