    How to use extermal hard drive to save battlefield 3 HD graphics

    You need an actual HDD to install the texture pack. You can only use 16gb of any external drives but you can't install the pack to any type of external memory.

    Can you install/download games to an external memory source?

    Yes, you can attach up to two 32GB USB thumb drives for additional storage. They do not need to be Xbox specific or branded, but make sure you get one with a decent transfer rate. Lexar and SansDisk are both good brands to use.

    As stated above, just make sure they are compatible with your Xbox before you buy it. Otherwise you are all set and ready to go! Can you install/download games to an external memory source? :)

    The Hard Drive or The Console?

    I've tried running it frrom an external memory source without my HDD attached. I didn't know you could install games to the internal memory? Can you do that? I'll go give it a try!

    Hi when you downloaded the game did you install it on an external memory drive?

    Lag After August Update ,

    more information will help. hardware lag can be brought on by lack of memory or a feature using the memory. Assuming the August update was the Cortana update do you all have Cortana enabled? Are you all using the external hard drive to house the games and
    apps you have? how much internal memory do you have if you do not use an external memory source?
