Upgrading my hard drive.

Hello.

I am thinking of upgrading my hard drive in my xbox 360 slim, standard is 250GB, and I would like to put in a 500GB drive.

Is that possible without getting trouble?

[quote user="Smiling Cat"]You can also add as many 32GB flash drives as you want. [/quote]

Not exactly: you can only connect two USB storage devices to the Xbox 360 at time, regardless of how many USB ports your console has. You can format more flash drives or external HDDs for use on the console and swap them if you like, but only
two devices will be usable at a time.

Upgrading Hard Drive

Hi

It is not possible to upgrade the internal hard drive on the console however you can add an external hard drive to the console to expand the storage please see the link below.

Storage on Xbox One | Check Storage Space on Xbox One

To use external storage with Xbox One games and apps, your hard drive must:

Hold 256 GB or more

Connect via USB 3.0

Microsoft makes official Xbox hard drives for the Xbox 360 slim and E models in 250gb, 320gb, and now 500gb. Feel free to use any official drive you like.

Upgradeable internal hard drives would be awesome. I've upgrade the one in my PS3 and it was easy.

Hello CTclothbagco, for maximum quality and stability it is always better to get an official product or replacement. £300 for a 120GB hard drive is very steep indeed. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives, I myself have seen hard drives (60gb or 120gb)
for around £30 - £40.

You could try registering your product and requesting a replacement (if you are out of warranty there will be a fee - but I am sure that it will be much MUCH cheaper than £300 for the HD)

Theres always the option to try Ebay or game shops that sell pre-owned items.

I hope this is helpful for you. My over all advice would be to steer away from unofficial products, they come with more problems then they are worth and they dont support everything on the console smoothly. Thank you.

I' am not completely sure about this but to be on the safe side i would not do that.

One because you could break your xbox.

Two because you may get banned because it could be counted as modifying your xbox.
