When the Xbox detected the hard drive, a setup wizard appeared.I switched to the other USB slot, and it worked just fine (perhaps only the first slot is USB 3.0 compatible?)
I added the hard drive to the lower USB port but the Xbox One didn’t detect it.I have one of the older Xbox Ones, from the first Christmas after they were released (your mileage may vary with the Xbox One X or Xbox One S, but probably not by much). I followed the instructions on “Troubleshoot external storage detection on Xbox One”. They mostly worked but I did run into two issues. Setting up an Xbox One external hard drive I recommend double checking the compatibility before buying a drive, just to be sure. While I went with Western Digital, any USB 3.0-compatible hard drive should work. Inspired by the success of that install, I got a 2 terabyte Western Digital “easystore” drive from the PS4 from Best Buy. I purchased a 1 terabyte Western Digital Drive drive at Amazon for the Xbox. After you’ve installed games to the external drive, you can play them just like you would if you’d installed them to the console’s own drive. This allows you to use an external USB 3.0-compatible hard drive as a destination when installing new games. With modern games taking up a ridiculous amount of space on your typical console (I’m looking at you, Destiny 2) it’s all too easy to fill up a 500 GB hard drive … and not realize it until Santa’s already deposited this year’s games under the tree.įortunately both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 support external hard drives. At this point extra storage for game consoles may be almost as critical on Christmas morning as fully charged AA batteries.
