    xbox one x turns off when launching game while external hard drive is attached


    Like the title says, with 4tb external drive attached the console turns off when launching a game. It does not matter if the game is installed to the external drive. If I disconnect it, games works normally. The hard drive is a WD 4tb mybook and has
    passed Western Digital diagnostics. I can launch as use apps such as Netflix, Hulu and Youtube with the drive attached.

    :)

    We will need some more info to help you better. Have you tried using the external drive into another usb port? Did you format your external drive and is it recognized by the console? Have you tried another external drive?

    External drive keeps ticking on and off

    Hi all, i recently noticed that the external hard drive attached to my console began whirring and going silent intermittently while the system is off. This has not been normal for my system and only began today. Anyone else notice this, and is it
    a problem?
    I have the SAME PROBLEM..I have the XBOX ONE X and a Western Digital 8TB USB/Adapter external hard drive..I always keep my xbox one x on instant on mode but everything is unchecked, like searching for updates, etc..so that it will NOT turn on I do it manually,
    its checked off to turn off the xbox one when turned off, never had an issue til the recent update, when off the hard drive every few minutes will make a tick sound and a hum sound then turn off..every few min, thought it was the hard drive, reformatted it
    yesterday, did the same darn thing, so I put the xbox one x into energy saving mode and guess what, PROBLEM SOLVED..but I cant stand energy save mode, so its something to do with this update and the hard drive with instant on mode, not sure what it is but
    its VERY annoying wish someone could figure it out

    Problema wireless

    Ciao prova a fare questo se hai un hard disk

    Wireless Networking: You may be unable to detect wireless networks with an external hard drive attached.

    Workaround: While the console is off, disconnect the external hard drive, power on the console, connect to the wireless network, and reconnect the external hard drive.

    Red ring after i dropped my hard-drive

    Maybe try this:

    1. Turn off the Xbox 360 completely.
    2. Disconnect all cables and devices from the console.
    3. Remove the external hard drive if one is attached.
    4. Reconnect the power source and restart the console.
    5. Shut down the console and reattach the hard drive.
