Can we turn this thread into the official Best External Drive for 360 thread?
Does anyone know if this feature works with these two things:
- Original Xbox game playback - don't these only work with MS HDDs and not USB thumb drives right now?
- Xbox 360 games that say HARD DRIVE REQUIRED (as opposed to STORAGE REQUIRED) and won't currently accept a USB memory stick for installations (Battlefield 4, Destiny, or MGS5:GZ, for instance)?
How can I get a friend invited to this preview?
i hope that they add a "ready to install list" to Xbox 360 that shows games that you own that aren't currently installed. something that would be exactly like how it functions on Xbox One:
I have so many 360 downloadable games (especially with Games with Gold now) that I sometimes lose track. It would be nice to quickly view what I own without having to login to backloggery or something.
EDIT: i found a link on Xbox Feedback for it. please vote for it so that we could make it happen!
OG Xbox requires the MS HDD.
there's a partition on the drive that is a stripped down clone of the original Xbox OS and it's needed for playing Xbox games. that's also why many cloned drives that appeared didn't work with OG Xbox games, the cloners would partition the drives properly, but were not taking the time out to put that filesystem back, they were just leaving it empty.
How fast is USB compared to the stock HD?
Sad to read that. I've lot of friends who want the EHDD preview.Unfortunately, there isn't a way. Invites were sent to a limited group through the 360.
Totally forgot Destiny was a thing on 360Destiny is definitely broken on the external drive
Also cloud storage doesn't work without official hard drive

Man i play it on xbox one and 360 if wifes watching tv in main room i can run bounties tc on the 360.
It's out for everyone now. Just got it and my 750GB laptop HDD I plugged in using a makeshift esque adapter got me 698GB I used to live off of about 160GB, my internal is a 120GB. This will be so nice. I'm gonna start installing most of my games and having all those Games with Gold titles ready to roll whenever I feel like. Probably will actually get around to playing them now
@majornelson: Xbox 360 system update rolling out tonight supports larger storage & an option to view purchase history, acct balance & reset password
Little late, huh?
Voted and commented. Let's make it happen.Only at 63 votes right now. SOOOOO wish they would consider good feedback suggestions instead of just vote counts
Found this on reddit, here's partition 2. Normal 3RD party drives like WD works like a charm I reckon for all marketplace content, including originals.
Also, the advantage of 7200 RPM drives as opposed to 5400 by the official drives by MSFT. Dunno if this 3rd party HDD discussion is frowned upon here on GAF though.
it's organized terribly and too unintuitive. it also takes forever to load and scroll down for some reason.

I use a HGST Touro 1TB USB 3.0 external HDD for my Xbox One:
http://www.amazon.com/HGST-7200RPM-H...words=HGST+1TB
Would this work for this as well or would the 2.0 ports on the 360 not give it enough juice?
When will the change become live?
Powered drives only right? I have a 2.5 HDD from the PS3 kicking around that I could use.
lol the purchase history "feature" is an IE shortcut to your MS transaction history page
I went ahead and got a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive from Best Buy for $90 (plus taxes, minus a $5 My Best Buy coupon) in preparation. Now, where do I get the y-adapter? Any suggestions? This thing is USB 3.0, but it's backwards compatible with USB 2.0. It's bus-powered, though, and I don't know if it works with the X360's ports without a y-adapter.
You shouldn't have a problem using it as-is
I have one problem...
After moving all my content to my external HDD (500GB), it worked well for a few days, until today: I realized that I only had 3 games (they were intalled on my x360 internal HDD) and didn't recognized my external HDD.
I unplugged it from the back of the console and choose the 2 USB port on the front: had the same result: my external HDD appears as "A non formatted drive".
I cleared the cache of x360 but had the same results...
That drive had almost 120 games and savegames...
Suggestions?
Does your PC recognize it?
I got around to formatting my drive and I'm chucking all my stuff onto it without a problem. My question is, is there a way to default my downloads onto the external drive?
Hmm... HDD may be a goner.
Do you have another enclosure you could test it with?
Don't think so. Sucks. I've been defaulting to internal, then have to copy. Draining.
Why can't they do the same thing in XBOX ONE?In addition we will also no longer reserve space in advance on your hard drive. If you are using 16GB of games we will only take 16GB of space
