It’s just not getting enough power I always us 3.5 externals for this reason
So we all have bad drives that work perfectly fine for everything else? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]Then it has to be a bad drive
Then it has to be a bad drive
Yea bro under 3tb all drives are mbr anyway. Sorry to hijack your thread Op but pretty sure you're in the same boat as me and tried and looked at everything.Might be a dumb question, did you set it to mbr and not gpt?
Hi all! So I am trying to use my HDD to load some XCI files in SXOS 2.2.. When I go to album it shows the XCI file I have in the root of the HDD but then it disappears and comes back again kind of "Flashing". It continues to do this and never finishes scanning. What could be wrong? Here's my System information.
I put the XCI in the root of the HDD and in HDD:\SXOS\ with the same result. The XCI is a personal dump and works fine on my SD so that's no the issue. I tried other XCI files too. I tried putting the XCI on a flash drive and SXOS didn't see the drive at all. Nothing in album. I tried all 3 ports as well.. Only things I ever plugged in to the dock until now is the Switch and the Pro controller. I hope it's not the port as it is WAY Out of warranty... Any ideas?
- WD Elemental HDD USB 3.0 2TB ExFAT formatted
- Launch Switch 3.0.1 with SX OS 2.2 BETA Games function on the SD fine.
Must be 2TB max and MBRHi all! So I am trying to use my HDD to load some XCI files in SXOS 2.2..

2TB seems to be the Max size - tried with a 8TB powered mybook and that is the only way I get it to recognise it.
any luck. I am still having the same issues.Were you able to make it work with your 8 tb my book ? if so can you give us more info on how you did it ?
I guess:
2 TB exfat as primary partition
The rest 6 TB in whatever fie system you want
put xci files in the root of the 2 tb partition
what tool did you use to create partition, format it etc
did you do anything else to setup the disk ?
I have the same disk model as you do but cannot make it work
thanks
Hello,
Same for me...with a 3.5 usb drive with external power or a 2.5 usb drive (toshiba that works with my wii u) with Y cable!
I forgot to mention that both are fat32 on a switch 3.02. It seems there's a bug when using splitted xci with fat32, i hope TX will correct it as soon as possible!
I haven't tried the latest update from Tx but hopefully it fixes the issueany luck. I am still having the same issues.
Nah I'm on 6.0 and exact same issues. Only pen drives workSame thing here. Haven't tried a y-cable. My OLD flash drives don't register at all. My 2TB WD Elemental when you go to album the name of the first rom on there comes up flashes off and on . I tried a USB 2.0 ! TB Self powered and no dice too. I might need to reformat... Maybe its because I am on 3.0.1 and The USB driver on the switch sucks...
