  1. Xbox One X Sees My External HDD (4TB) / Correctly Formatted / Set As Capture location /...


    So far this is what I've tried with 3 very helpful Xbox Experts but the issue remains.

    Correctly formatted my external hard drive to NTFS

    I then connect it to my Xbox.

    In Settings, system, storage I see it there (4TB) I set it as my capture location. I launch a game and open capture options and Xbox only offers 2 minutes on 1080p instead of 60.

    So I reformat my Xbox to factory default (keeping my games etc.) / problem remains

    I try different external hard drive on my Xbox / problem remains

    I try my external hard drive on a different Xbox / problem remains

    I reboot my Xbox and try again / problem remains

    I test my external hard drive on my PC / works perfectly and records

    I delete my Xbox account and do a hard reboot then add an account / problem remains

    The only thing I can think of doing next is a factory reset with deleting all games etc but I need to keep a game on to test for now.

    I've successfully recorded up to 100 vids using this same external hard drive with Xbox offering up to 60 minutes recording at 1080p in the past. Then I moved to pc games for a while and now when I returned to Xbox it only offers 2 minutes.

    If anyone can shed light on how to sort this out I would much appreciate it.

    :)

    Can you not use a 4TB hard disk for capturing clips on Xbox One X?

    I just tried adding my Seagate Backup Plus portable USB3 hard disk with 3TB capacity for game capture purposes and it appears to work (I was able to assign it as capture location...haven't tried capturing any game play yet) as a capture location.

    After you initialize and format your external HDD on your PC, did you create any folders on the external storage? In case it matters, I didn't after selecting GPT - Simple volume and format as NTFS with no file/folder compression enabled (in case the latter
    matters).

    Did you rename your external drive during the format process? In case it matters, I did on mine and called it XBOXCLIPS1.

    When you connected the HDD to the console, did it prompt you to use the drive for game or media storage? I selected media storage.

    Did you go into Settings - System - Storage, select the HDD and then select Set as capture location? I did this in case it matters or is different than doing it via Settings - Preferences - Capture & share - Capture location (this UI location is also displayed
    when using Xbox nexus button - move right to Capture & share - move down to Capture settings).

    Good luck!

    Xbox One X Sees My External HDD (4TB) / Correctly Formatted / Set As Capture location / Only offers 2min. Recording @ 1080p / NOT 60 MINUTES

    ignore it i have the same, it states 2 minutes but im thinking that is for capture last moment and its not working right.

    I manually recorded a game last night and recorded 47 minutes with no issues.

    Xbox One X not recognising hard drive as NTFS

    I have formatted it to ExFat and NTFS but on my console it says this. "First format this device on your PC. To capture clips and screenshots externally storage must be formatted as NTFS. Connect it to your PC and format it, then reconnect it to your Xbox. (0x80bd003c)

    My console is a Xbox One X.

    I have also tried it on other consoles with no luck.

    I am only trying to use this as a capture location.

    Formatting Samsung T7 SSD

    So, I know how to format drives on a PC but the T7 wasn't showing up on the PC til I found a 3.1 gen 1 port on the back of the PC case. I formatted it to NTFS then plugged it back into the series X. But, in Capture Location, still only "Internal" was available.

    I searched external drive not showing on series X, it said to pull the usb cable then reinstall it then hold the X for 10 seconds then restart the console. I held the big X on the controller, it restarted on its own? I entered the console menu, it now says T7 in capture settings, duration, resolution and more/capture location, but there's no choice between using Internal or External storage just the T7.

    External Hard Drive not available as capture location?

    Same problem I cant set up a Capture with an external hard drive Xbox X

    I have done these steps with both a seagate 2tb and Western digital 2tb ( i have a 4tb external for games already)

    I have formatted on Windows and Mac

    No difference

    It always comes up EFI and says format to NTFS even though both the PC and Mac recognize it as 3.0 NTFS each time

    Ive switched all usb hubs several times

    Im giving up seems its the system and i cant do it

    Ive tried for 3 days
    I'm having the exact same issues with my 4 TB Seagate it's a 3.0 and my PC is formatting it perfectly to NTFS but whenever I attempt to use any of the 3 available Xbox One S USB hubs the system registers my hdd as ETI and tells me to reformat to NTFS.

    Not a question but I think that xbox should add something to see you're saved password: I just think by adding a.way to see you're saved passwords would help people and mo stly likely it would be useful. 33884721-9ae2-43d0-b231-8050dc166046
