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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
