Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
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.
Its a better idea anyway because if one fails you ll only lose have the data.
You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate.
The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type.
On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive.
Select your external drive and press the a button.
I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years.
Then choose a partition style and confirm.
There should be proper partitions on the drive.
Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.
But when an xbox one external hard drive is connected no partition is displayed.
