Xbox Sea gate hard drive

When you mean drive do you mean the whole external hard drive? Ive ordered a new hard drive today but im staying clear of sea gate from now on and when the shops re open im going to hopefully take it in and get it exchanged or my money back

Hi,

Try this, on the console when you are on the main menu, press and HOLD 10 sec the powerbutton of the console, wait 30 sec, UNPLUG the external hard drive, restart the console. Finally, turn off the console and replug the external hard drive, turn on console,
does it work ?

If not, its due to the usb 3.0 cable in many cases… I had that issue in the past with a Toshiba 2TB, i changed the usb 3.0 cable with a new one and all was perfect after

Hope it help,

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your hdd.

You may have already tried this but if not it is a good place to start. Try doing a full power cycle of the the console by shutting down first then unplugging the the power cord. Wait 5 mins and power it backup.

When you shut down normally it just goes into standby by power cycling it does a full shut down and clears the cache.

Best of Luck

if it works on your laptop and not your console, contact seagate to see if there are any issues with connecting it to the console. If not, it could be a USB problem on the console.

I'd recommend a sea gate external drive. $44 last time I checked for 2 TB.
