Can You Partition An External Hard Drive For Xbox One

Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.

Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.

You ll need two drives. The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type. You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate. There should be proper partitions on the drive.

Here highlight system and select the option labelled storage. On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive. Also 500gb is not going to be enough for the xbox unless you plan on buying another drive in a year or so. Select your external drive and press the a button.

This will bring you to the settings menu. Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data. I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years. In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.

Select the xbox one external hard drive which shows as disk unknown not initialized and choose initialize disk from the context menu.
