xbox wont transfer all captures to external storage

The copying of captures to an external drive is a disgrace.

I have a 480GB Samsung Evo SSD USB 3.0 formatted to NTSC as required by MS.

Problems:

1) Try to copy all and the process randomly fails BUT there is NO indication at which capture it failed at

2) When you copy individual captures the process often fails if any clip is over 30secs. If you repeat the copying process it can work after 2-3 tries. Often it fails and then when you try to copy again it doesn't download but simply does the copying process which suggests the file downloaded from Xbox but didn't copy to external drive on the first pass.

3) There is no way of checking the external drive for what captures you have copied across. The only solution is to disconnect and connect to a PC which is a pain in the @@@

4) A weird glitch is when on PC you copy the XboxCaptures folder to another drive (so you have a backup) it fails to copy on the first pass, but DOES copy on the 2nd attempt. Feels like there's some weird copy protection/permissions issue going on.....

It's one of the most painful experiences I've ever faced in 40yrs of using computers but I have to persist because from January 2024 my captures are gonna be erased based on a 90day cycle.

Please provide some form of progress bar when downloading and some context so we can compare what we've moved/copied across.

There are more problems but you have to see it to believe it. It's an absolute shambles.....someone at Xbox needs to try this to see how utterly mind numbingly frustrating it is.....

its a red and black sandisk pendrive, there is nothing saying about USB 3.0 so its not, but it is NTFS

i use an normal 16GB pendrive, does it work?

The usb is 3.0? normally the USB port is blue on the 3.0 versions

Probably it is not a USB 3.0, I would suggest obtaining a new USB 3.0, and trying with the new one if the issue persists.
