External HDD Use with 360 S

Hi all, hope someone can help me.

1) My 360 S had a 500gb internal HDD, can I connect a 2TB external HDD & utilize all the storage space across both devices or does the external HDD "take the place of" the internal.

2) Is transferring my profile, Arcade games, DLC etc. (basically anything with DRM) to my external HDD ok to do? Basically can I put EVERYTHING on my external HDD or does some content have to stay on the internal drive?

thanks for any help anyone can offer.

 

External hdd

My question is can I just unplug my 2TB external hdd from my xbone and plug it into my xbone S?

Somehow I doubt it but any info would be appreciated.

 

1. Have console connected to Xbox Live to update online gamertag profile. (May need to play and save game to update online gamertag profile or add any recent achievements) 2. Carefully transfer all save data to 2TB external drive. 3. Follow support link
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/add-remove-hard-drive to remove Internal HDD 4. Turn on console with external 2TB HDD connected, and without being logged into Xbox Live; Press Guide Button on controller, and download your gamertag profile
to external HDD. (Make sure your gamertag profile is working online, by checking to see if save data can be used on external HDD for games, as new System File should be created to external HDD) 5. Follow step 3 to install Internal HDD, and restart console
with external HDD connected. 6. Follow support link Xbox 360 Storage | Xbox 360 Hard Drive | Xbox 360 Flash Drive to format Internal HDD (You will need access to back of console for console serial number) Note: If, System File or Gamertag Profile is created to
Internal HDD, after format; Just delete them, after you confirm that they are safely stored to External HDD etc.

Thank you! Ok i will try this tonight & let you know how it works!!!

 

Do you happen to know if this will improve performance of games?

 

I couldn't say for certain on Xbox360: You May see slight performance benefit from using faster external HDD with latest Xbox360 dashboard update, and it will depend on the condition of your console and/or internal components.
