I've had this 2 TB external storage for my xbox since I got it, but suddenly it just stopped, and it won't connect properly back to the xbox, causing all games in it to go with aswell. What do I do to get this storage to connect properly again?

Check the wire, check the connection. If you don’t have other Xbox or cable to test, you can try a pc. Data won’t read the same on pc, but pc should see it as a USB storage.
But before all that testing, try restarting your Xbox first.

I've done all this except testing in a pc, as I don't have one lol
I asked the people of general chat and they concluded that it had died, so I'm just slowly redownloading my games
Ty for responding though

Yeah, if you tested with a different cable and Xbox, HDD is most likely dead.
