Thank you for your post! Please remember the support here is not official and is handled on a volunteer basis. Once you have posted your concern here, we ask that you be patient and not spam your thread elsewhere in the server, that will slow the process down.

waiting.
You still haven’t answered the questions
tf there's not much to answer
i can't record anything on my external usb
is that not enough
“Doesn’t work help” is not enough for us to go on. Explain the issue, what you’ve tried, etc
Have you tried different cables have you tried a different drive does it work with internal is there an error message etc
no it just stops whenever i try to record, ive tried uninstalling stuff from my xbox ssd hearing it uses it to record the clips and then sends it over to the usb
tried restarting, nothing
i can record when i switch over to internal but switching back over to external nothing happens
never had this issue before and the only fix i found on youtube was freeing up space on the internal drive which didn't help
tried unplugging it and plugging back in
nothing at all
So it recorded before, but doesn’t anymore? Is the external drive full by any chance?
nope, far from full, it's a 256 gb usb using maybe 20 at most lol
yeah it did, but just suddenly stopped working and hasn't ever since
the usb is recognised so shouldn't be an issue with it itself
Connecting to PC the external working with the cable?
so...?
so, to anyone having this issue, seems like your last resort would be to move every file from the USB over to your pc so you don't lose your files and re-format the drive, this worked for me and didn't need to restart or anything just plugged the USB back in
and don't rely on help from here :)
