I d recommend getting a 2 3tb drive for the xbox so it will do you for a few years.
Can you partition an external hard drive for xbox one.
Also 500gb is not going to be enough for the xbox unless you plan on buying another drive in a year or so.
Then choose a partition style and confirm.
Xbox one can only work with a maximum of 2 external hard drives at once.
Here highlight system and select the option labelled storage.
On the next screen you will see your xbox one s internal drive as well as your external drive.
The usb storage should have a 3 0 connection type.
You ll need two drives.
This will bring you to the settings menu.
Select your external drive and press the a button.
You need to initialize the hard drive first and then recreate.
In order to store games it should have a capacity of 256 gb or more.
There should be proper partitions on the drive.
In the pop up menu that appears select transfer.
