I have a 5TB Seagate Backup Plus that uses a micro b usb cable. So far I've tried every troubleshooting tip you could think of.
At this point I just want some confirmation about the cable type; is it actually the problem here?

Blue interface and all
Has ss written on the cable too
Oh, u mean the drive itself?

Hard drives need to support usb 3.0 and larger than 128 gigs to work on xbox

Just googled it and it does mention usb 3.0
This is so strange to me because the second I use it on either my PS4 or PS5 it works without issue.

Thats why. It needs to be reformatted to work on ur xbox
If u have games from ps4/ps5 on the drive dont mean the save format is compatible with xbox

That also, it won't prompt a reformat when I start the console.
