Can you have your Xbox one and PS4 hooked up to the external hard drive at the same time or do I have to buy one for each? null

Question

Edward · Accepted Answer

You need one for each. They format drives differently.

Tony · Answer

You’d need separate drives. Each system will format the HDD to its own filing system, so to speak, and would wipe each time you switched consoles.

Jerry · Answer

No, I'm honestly wondering how that would be possible with any hard drive. You would have to get one each, not only for cord purposes, but I imagine they have to be formatted separately, but not sure. It might be possible to use it for each device separately, but only of the formatting is the same.

I know with the PS4 I needed to go into the settings and format the HD for use with the system. So, there could be something unique about the PS4 system that requires the reformatting process. I have not tried it with an XBox One, though. It would likely be even trickier to have it connected to both at the same time. Good luck!

You need one for both. It will be formatted to whichever system it’s hooked to first
