Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.

The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type. Select the xbox one external hard drive which shows as disk unknown not initialized and choose initialize disk from the context menu. You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate. Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.

There should be proper partitions on the drive. 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. Then choose a partition style and confirm.

Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data. But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed. In the pop up menu that appears select transfer. You ll need two drives.

On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive.
