Destiny and xbox slim

so i bought destiny on day 1 of release, returned it on day to because im like many slim owners who made do with flash drives over they years-but cant be f'd into buying a microsoft hard drive for a dying system now.

im still really interested in destiny though, so ive been trying to explore my options.

i see very reasonably priced internal hard drives made by 3rd partys for the slim. my question is, do they work with destiny? Or does it only work with the microsoft xbox hard drives.

if anyone has any experience with the 3rd party ones, please recomend one or 2 also. im looking for between 50-120 gig reasonably priced.

THANKS!

:)

 

Issue With XBOX ONE Slim And Elite Controller When Playing Destiny

I purchased a new XBOX ONE Slim late last week and set it up with an elite controller. Before I get the clear cache and update response one usually gets let me be clear -- this was done both with the slim and the controller. My network setup shows consistent
high download and upload speeds, open NAT, no packet loss and low latency -- my router is set up with UPnP on AND I have had no major network problems in the past other than the typical Destiny server "animal" issues that most user encounter at times.

That being said, after setting up the slim and elite controller (synced), playing Destiny resulted in continually be kicked back to orbit with the message "You have left your fire team and been returned to orbit" with no "animal" error code, even when playing
solo. Attempts at raiding or playing PvP were almost impossible for me with this situation.

After a weekend of this frustration I decided to do some testing and found that if I played Destiny on my elite XBOX ONE with ANY controller I had no problems with Destiny.

If I played Destiny on the slim with the slim's supplied controller I had no problems with Destiny.

If I played Destiny on the slim with an elite controller the kick back to orbit problems appeared and were consistent. Note that I tested this with 2 separate elite controllers.

I can only conclude that there is a slight handshake problem between the slim and the elite controller when playing Destiny (but not other games). I find it hard to believe that a console/controller setup that appears to work elsewhere doesn't work for Destiny.

 

''You need a hard drive to play Destiny'' (please read)

So i bought a 'Xbox 360 Slim 120 GB HDD' for my XB 360 4gb today from Amazon, i plugged it in the Xbox 360 and at the beginning it worked perfectly normal, Destiny was downloaded then it froze at 37%, i tried restarting it and then it said ''You need a Xbox
360 HDD to play Destiny''

What just happened? Please help!

 

I had the same issue, so what I did was went to a local gaming store and the guy there had slim hard drives made by removing the guts of the old 360s and placing them in an empty slim hard drive shell...i was a little leary about this but thought for $20
why not? And it works like a charm...so I guess my advice is look on amazon or eBay for one of these, or the components to do it yourself, the guy who sold me mine said its extremely easy to do and can be done in about 2 mins.
