That's normal. Space is required for required files, and that size gets bigger the bigger your HD is.
brazen oar
But i plug it in to my ps5 and it says 2 tb im soo confused
idle hatch
Because the HD itself is 2tb, but some of that is used for required, hidden files.
brazen oar
Oh so the xbox may have more files?

Oh wait i think i understand so its like on the series s the system requires like half the storage to operate the system correct?
valid sparrow
No
It's nothing to do with the Xbox. The console's operating system is stored on the internal drive, not any external that you plug in.
The link explains why you're not seeing 2TB
brazen oar
Oh i understand
Then why not just advertise the actual storage thats the main problem i had with the series s
valid sparrow
It is advertising the actual storage.
brazen oar
Butits not advertising the actual usable storage
valid sparrow
It is. But the system you use the drive on uses a different method to report the storage.
brazen oar
Oh so i fo have 2tb?
valid sparrow
I give up

Read the link - and chill with the caps
You can use whatever space it tells you there is on the Xbox.
Or whatever device you hook it up to.

If you actually read the page linked, it explains it all.
