portable hard drive

Hi I have a xbox 360 elite with 120gb hard drive, this has been full for a while and i am getting fed up of deleting a game to download another, however i am finding it difficult to find a bigger hard drive for it, the attendant in game even told me that
getting bigger hard drive for this old machine would be difficult and he recommended getting a portable hard drive.

Before I spend my hard earned cash on a 500gb portable hard drive I have looked on forums and see lots of posts saying that the xbox would only recognise 32gb of the drive as it would be plugged in the usb port.

As these were older posts I was hoping this is not the case anymore and this situation has been resolved so I can buy a 500gb portable drive and my will recogmise it as a 500gb portable drive?

Many thanks

:)

 

External hard drive

I have this one, works perfect and really small, self powered, Just plug it in and fully restart your console then go to setting and manage storage and format, done.

External storage

As you may know in June the Xbox one will be getting an update, that allows external storage. I was wondering if this external hard drive will be compatible or not.

Unfortunately, this is still the case. USB drives are limited to 32GB.

Fortunately, the current preview of the next dashboard is testing support for 2TB usb drives. Someday soonish, you should be able to use a larger external usb drive.
