Then choose a partition style and confirm.
Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data.
Select your external drive and press the a button.
In the pop up menu that appears select transfer.
Here highlight system and select the option labelled storage.
In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.
Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
Select the xbox one external hard drive which shows as disk unknown not initialized and choose initialize disk from the context menu.
This will bring you to the settings menu.
Also 500gb is not going to be enough for the xbox unless you plan on buying another drive in a year or so.
But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed.
You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate.
The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type.
There should be proper partitions on the drive.
