I was just wondering if theres any xbox users who has ever gotten an external hard drive to work with their xbox, other then the Microsoft ones. I have a 4gb xbox but, I need more space and was wondering how I can accomplish this, or if at all possible thanks.

 

i hook up an external HD all the time. i use it to store movies, music, etc etc


but are we talking about Xbox original or 360? i have mine hooked up to a 360.

 

if you want to use it to store your game files, i don't think it's possible without getting the original addon.

 

I have a usb external hard drive. Just connect it and xbox will format it and it works. You can only go up to 16 gigs.

 

I used my 60gig hard drive from my 360 for my 360 Slim.

You just open up the case of the 360 hard drive and pull the hard drive itself out. Then you can plug it into to Slim. You can youtube it.

 

Chip it, flash it and use a SATA or 16gig thumb drives.

 

not to threadjack, but since this thread is open; can someone who has the ability to flash a 360 pm me? mine's already done but i'm sure it's overdue for an update and/or revert to stock

/threadjack

oh, and yeah check youtube, i remember there's a way to plug in a usb (any drive) hdd and use it for storage/playback (can't recall, since it's been a while)

 

This is what i did

 

Thanks guys appreciate it, yeah tying to store game files and what ever else I can. Good info now all I have to do is find a hdd.

 

HAHA I ahve the same TV as the dude in the video. Nice to know that i cant use my old 120 gig. Thats the main reason I didnt buy the new box!. What eva. I gots me two working red rings original 360's working now

 

^ Upgrade the heatsinks to keep them from overheating again .
There's also a water cooling system that plugs in to the fans of the xbox for pump power if you're looking to go that rout.
