all xbox 360 and original Xbox games

The official HDD that you can get from Amazon (actually FROM Amazon, not an Amazon storefront), Best Buy, and Game Stop (to name a few) all support original XBOX games. I've bought and used official original 360 120GB, original 360 250GB, and 360 S 320GB
upgrade drives. All worked fine with original XBOX games.

...because not all Xbox "original" games are compatible with the Xbox 360.

Yeah, not all original Xbox games work on the 360.If I was you, i'd find a cheap original xbox and play it on that. I know that may be more money, but it's worth it to play original Xbox games, especially when the 360 doesn't do so great with playing originals.

The program finished after the last release of about 70 games.

There will be no more games added to the backward compatible list.

Xbox Backward Compatible FAQ

It appears that because the games require unique hardware, the developers are unable to make them backward compatible with the new console. They are unlikely to perceive financial benefits from developing backward-compatible device drivers in addition to software.
