    external storage on Xbox 360


    When I purchased my 360 a year ago I bought the 4GB model and turned around and upgraded the drive to a 320GB..( it was cheaper that way at the time ).. Now my question.. Could you buy a 500GB usb portable drive and plug it into the front usb ports for more
    storage?

    I know when you download content it does to internal storage. But I also know you can move things from internal storage to extetnal storage such as usb thumb drives.

    Is there a limit as to how much data can go to the usb ports on the front or back ? And has anyone tried it ? I know I would be hard pressed to fill 800+GB of data, but it would be fun to try. I know a portable drive can be purchased for around $60-$70
    if you catch the right sale.

    Thanks for your inputs...

    :)

    Storage space Xbox 360

    If it's specifically asking for a 360 storage device, then it's looking for an actual MS brand Xbox 360 storage device (hard drive), not another external device.

    Yoostar 2 & External Harddrives

    Okay a little confusing but here's how it works. When any External Device be it a HDD or Flash Drive is used as a Storage Device (Memory for the Xbox 360), the Xbox 360 will only recognize it as such (a Storage Device) via the
    USB. In short, a really huge External HDD becomes a 16Gb (Max) Storage Device from USB.

    Some Games and some Features of Xbox LIVE require an Official MS Xbox 360 HDD that is for that particular Xbox 360 Console (ie Slim with Slim HDD). Simply using an External HDD will not work for these cases. Any External Storage Device is meant to supplement,
    not replace an Official HDD or the performance of one that some Games and Features require.

    battlefield 4 installation problem

    The internal storage in your Xbox 360 is flash memory, not a hard drive. You'll need to attach storage externally or purchase an Xbox 360 HDD.
