    1 external HDD for Xbox 360 and one?


    Hi there,

    I dont know if this question has already been asked but I wanted to know, if I can use my external HDD (USB 3.0), on which I already stored some of my 360 games also on an Xbox One for storing "One" games. Or do I need a second HDD for storing Xbox one separately.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    :)

  2. Download Xbox360 games elsewhere

    Hi, 1) Can I download xbox 360 (4gb) games (demos or Gold) at work and copy it to my xbox at home? 2) Can i plug in an external HDD (250gb) via USB port in my xbox 360 for mor space? 3) Can I use a normal laptop HDD drive in my xbox 360 in the HDD slot?

    Okay a little confusing but here's how it works. When any External Device be it a HDD or Flash Drive is used as a Storage Device (Memory for the Xbox 360), the Xbox 360 will only recognize it as such (a Storage Device) via the
    USB. In short, a really huge External HDD becomes a 16Gb (Max) Storage Device from USB.

    Some Games and some Features of Xbox LIVE require an Official MS Xbox 360 HDD that is for that particular Xbox 360 Console (ie Slim with Slim HDD). Simply using an External HDD will not work for these cases. Any External Storage Device is meant to supplement,
    not replace an Official HDD or the performance of one that some Games and Features require.

    Adding an Xbox 360 - 4gb or 500gb ?

    ^^Mexi, If you mean does the HD that sits on the side of the 360 will work with an xbox one, then the answer is no.

    You can opt for 1 TB or 500GB and then get an external HDD.

    Computer - Xbox 360 Using USB

    I'm not exactly sure but I don't see why one could not use a USB/ USB to External HDD (or in this case a HDD in a PC). The only problem would the Xbox 360 would need to configure the External HDD (regardless of its location PC
    or not) and this would render it obsolete at least in part to the Host device.

    After all, one can use an External 3rd Party HDD as a USB Storage Device up to 16Gb. But as long as it is Formatted by the Xbox 360 at least that Partition of it is inoperable towards any other Device.
