    Downloading a game straight to an external drive?

    When I tried downloading one of my old arcade games from my DL history, there was no option to change the storage device as far as I could see. But there is another way to do it.

    1. Choose something to download from the Xbox 360 Store (something free like a demo).

    2. Add what you really want to download to your queue.

    3. Go to your downloads queue. Select the second item that should be still pending. Follow the information on the screen to change the download storage device.

    4. Cancel the first download.

    When the first download is cancelled, the second item begins to download and since you changed the storage location, it will now download to there instead of the default storage device.

    Xbox 360 and Xbox one external storage.

    Sorry but the Xbox 360 is limited to up to two USB devices at a time at a max of 32GB of storage per device. You should consider purchasing an official Xbox 360 hard drive at a larger size for your games and downloads.

    As for the storage device, you cannot store games from both systems on the same device. You can, however, use the 2TB drive (so long as it is USB 3.0 compatible) on your Xbox One for storage.

    Microsoft store won't open or update

    So

    Settings

    Storage devices

    And then it’s

    Change installation location

    Clear local saved games

    Clear local Xbox 360 storage

    No clear persistent storage option.

    It’d be nice if people knew what options people are faced with on the damn device but hey it’s a clown world these days.

    Fortnite error 0x80070570 which said corrupted file

    When I navigate to system I don’t have a storage option. I have storage devices. When I click on that I have the option to change installation locations, clear local saved games (which I have tried), or clear local Xbox 360 storage.

    Is there a way to download games directly to an external hard drive on an Xbox 360.

    Hi,

    The exact method is a little hazy, but as I understand it, you'll need to start one download, then add another to the queue. The second item (the one queued) can have the download location changed from within the Xbox 360 mini guide.

    So, choose to download something and then add the actual content you want to download to the external drive to the Queue. Change the install location on queued item and then cancel the first first download. The content that was queued will now download to the external storage.

    Change download Location

    Unfortunately you can't change the download location of an item that is already downloading, that is a shortcoming of the Xbox 360's Operating System. However, there is a work-around. What you need to do is choose to download something else first, like
    a demo or a trial arcade game. Then add the actual game or DLC that you really want as a second download.

    The second download will be queued. Go to the queued download and via the options on screen, change the download location to your USB device. Now stop the first download. All being well, the item that was queued will now start downloading directly to the
    USB device.
