My 3.5 drive with external power has the same issue. That's not the problem
So we all have bad drives that work perfectly fine for everything else? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
Sarcasm aside, I think some drives don't work. But that just happens to be every self powered drive I own. Only thumb drives work for me.

My drive is most certainly not bad. It works perfectly on every computer I've tried it on and it's been rock solid. I can toss all the XCI files I want onto it with no problems, the switch just won't read them. I think it's a little more likely that the beta version of what is basically piracy software running on a console that isn't designed to use external hard drives are more to blame than a perfectly functioning hard drive (or multiple hard drives from multiple people). But that's just me
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.
Only other thing I can think of is the sdfiles somehow are messing with it. Maybe I'll try a clean sd tomorrow unless someone beats me to it

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 was able to replicate your issue and found the following:
SX OS does not support over 2tb hdds because it does not work with a gpt droves yet. The drive must be mbr in order for it to be read by the system and formatted to exfat or fat32.
Hope this works for you like I said I was able to replicate the issue fairly easily once I figured out what was going on with the read

After reading the forums I got a 4tb to work. I used a gpt format and 2tb primary ex fat, With a secondary partition as exfat 2 tb and works flawlessly. I’m starting to think it could be drive compatibility.
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
In windows using disk management - just completely remove all partitions then create a 2Tb exFAT one and that's it. You don't need to mess with the unused space unless you want to but I used the rest up as NTFS but that won't effect if it works for not. If you are having trouble perhaps try a 1 tb partition?
Same 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...
Nah I'm on 6.0 and exact same issues. Only pen drives work

@SylverReZ, in my experience, I wouldn't say I am an audiophile because to me MP3s seem fine, frequency cut off but good enough lol although in my laundry list of freak gifts... Is the ability to hear frequencies beyond what anyone else I have ever met... I max out hearing tests with shocked looks from the Drs, sad part is I can hear frequencies much higher.+1

@Psionic Roshambo, As somebody who has listened to music over everything, I prefer some good quality headphones that can output the sharpest audio. I listen to my music mostly with WAVE or FLAC files, with MP3s I can tell the difference straight away by the compression artifacts.+1 -

I mean I can tell the difference even with a high bitrate MP3 but I guess "it sounds good enough"

Plus studio quality MP3's do exist, they are just like 512Kbps and are huge ass files lol

@Psionic Roshambo, MP3s were designed to be as small as possible, so that they can be shared on the internet. WAVE files were more bigger in size and would take hours to upload back in the day.
