I have an external USB 2.0 hard drive I have been using to stream media. This worked fine before the update, but since the update my Xbox won't recognize the drive is even connected. Any ideas?

Yeah me too i had a PNY 128 GB thumb drive plugged into the console during the November update and it did something to it because it wont recognize it at all! It works on my PC,Laptop,TV,even Xbox360. Other thumb drives i have work and are recognized once you plug them into the Xbox one! I have formated the thumb drive several times to fat32 to nfs and still nothing. MICROSOFT OWES ME $70 FOR A NEW THUMB DRIVE.

Mine was connected during the update as well, though I don't know what that could have caused. The drive still works perfectly fine on my PC. It didn't even occur to me to disconnect it during the update, if that would have made a difference.

The thumb drive may very well be fine. I wouldn't buy another one until you have more information on the issue. Obviously, there is something going on with the data drives and I am sure they are not all bad especially if they still work on other devices.

I believe it requires a USB 3.0 drive for game saves, but USB 2.0 drives work for streaming media. At least, they worked before the update.
