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