    Good HD

    I brought this HD knowing I'll be running out of space. The only problem was I could only use it for Xbox one or 360. It came unformatted because the manufacturing doesn't know how you're going to use it.

    Good external storage

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Product is good as an external drive. That said: the Xbox system does NOT recognize it as a hard drive, but as an external/USB drive. If you do not have enough hard drive to load a game, You cannot directly load/play the game from the Seagate drive. You must transfer files from hard drive to Seagate to create enough space to load the game onto Xbox. Info on site was not clear about this.

    Didn't work

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I plugged it in and it only showed up as media storage and I couldn't format it for games on the xbox so I tried formatting it on the pc and now the xbox won't even recognize it. Should it really be this difficult for a hard drive that actually says specifically for xbox ones? I mean wtf!?!

    Not detected by XBOX

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Worked when first set up for about a year. Now the XBOX will not detect it. Replaced the HDMI Chord, worked with Seagate to reconfigure it and nothing worked. Need a new Hard Drive but don't want to run into the same issue.

    Not reliable

    If you wanna buy this product please get the two year protection plan trust me. This external hard drive can stop working anytime like it did for me. So I got the Seagate external hard drive 2tb about 3-4 months ago. Recently it stopped working after the new Xbox update. It’s like the Xbox won’t recognize the external hard drive. I’ve tried to fix this thing but it won’t work. When I plug it into the Xbox the light doesn’t turn on but I can feel the drive spinning. I tried to plug it into the computer and format it but it just won’t work. Please help anybody.

    Pick something else.

    Bought this in mid-December of 2019 and after only a month of owning the product (did not even play xbox half of those days), it suddenly stopped working. I figured "Okay, no big deal. I know electronics can be finicky some times. I will exchange it for a new one in store." Exchanged it with ease only to have the new one stop working after 10 days... It was working perfectly and there were no power surges or issues that should have caused any sort of issue. I will definitely be looking for a refund this time around and trying a different brand.

    2TB Seagate Xbox External Hard Drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Buy only if you want it for only 3 years. I contacted seagate because it just stopped working. Seagate said it was an internal problem. I was literally told that some customers get ling lasting devices and i got the short end of the stick. They finally said, sorry we cant help you, buy a new one.

    formatting erased the xb1

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm tech savy and a friend asked me to install this drive on their xbox one. I did everything correct, but when I formatted it for games & apps it erased everything on the internal drive. I have read the xbox one reviews and only 3% of the game drives do this. Geek Squad used to do Game Drive formatting in store for $8. If it does erase everything you will have a lot of work to do.
