I am trying to hook up my 8TB drive with my switch and it doesn't show up. This is the drive I have https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STEB8000100/dp/B01HAPGEIE/
maybe you should mind your own businessIs it really necessary to have that much space? You got the entire CDN within your hard drive.
Anyway...if it doesn't work, best to ask TX for a recommendation

I have over 489 xci files .. it loads up in under a minThe trouble with having huge hdd’s like 8tb the more content you have rammed on their the slower it will load don’t expect to have 100+ xci files and load as quick as sd, it won’t I stuck with a minimum of 2tb seems to work just nicely.
anyway to flip them ? make the exfat a primary ?Make sure you have a primary and not a logical partition. Both FAT32 and exfat are recognized so if you have it as NTFS it won't be.
Do you just put them all on the route of your sd card or in folders? The xci menu certainly does not load as fast as it would on sd card, it’s not really noticeable unless you get your stop watch out but it is a tad slower. Also occasionally if you click on one of the games to quickly while the menus loading it doesn’t load the game properly to the switch main menu. I’m using this on my switch handheld I’m not sure if it’s different loading usb with the dock I have never tried it?I have over 489 xci files .. it loads up in under a min

>2TB drives can support MBR with the right case... I have a 5TB Samsung and Maxtor D3 Station drives that work fine with MBR and work on the switch.I'm not sure. But maybe the cause is that Hard Disks bigger than 2TB can't have a MBR partition table, they need a GPT partition table. Maybe the Switch doesn't recognize GPT.
You can do a MBR partitioning, but you will lose 6 of your 8 TB. Not a good idea.
