Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
This will bring you to the settings menu.
But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed.
There should be proper partitions on the drive.
In the pop up menu that appears select transfer.
On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive.
I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years.
The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type.
You ll need two drives.
Select your external drive and press the a button.
You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate.
Then choose a partition style and confirm.
Here highlight system and select the option labelled storage.
Also 500gb is not going to be enough for the xbox unless you plan on buying another drive in a year or so.
