Then choose a partition style and confirm.
Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
Select your external drive and press the a button.
Here highlight system and select the option labelled storage.
Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data.
The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type.
Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed.
In the pop up menu that appears select transfer.
I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years.
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.
Select the xbox one external hard drive which shows as disk unknown not initialized and choose initialize disk from the context menu.
In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.
You ll need two drives.
