A:AnswerI use it for additional stowage on the Xbox One since the drive is USB 3.0 rated. The Xbox One will reformat the external drive so anything on it will be lost during this process. Make certain you select the correct drive to reformat and not the internal system drive on the Xbox.
I do not know if the Xbox or Xbox 360 will support 3rd party external drives.
Hope this helps
A:AnswerI have a 1 tb portable external WD hard drive attached to my xbox one console .., should work with the PS4 consoles , just go to the PS website ..they should have directions for adding a external portable storage device.
A:AnswerJust like any product they go on and off of sale. If you want a good deal in a computer department item most of the time they tend to go on sale during back to school season, which is June - September. Don't forget that Best Buy also price matches almost all local competitors and some online competitors such as Amazon. Good luck
A:AnswerNo! Once formatted for Xbox, it can't be used for any other storage without formatting it again (deleting everything). No hard drive can be used like this due to the security measures of Xbox, to protect from installing mods/ hacks.
A:AnswerIt sounds like it might be a cable issue - try using a different USB cable. Also, it could be the USB port on the Xbox One - try using it in a different port for a few days/weeks and see if the problem persists.
