    I have a fat Xbox 360 with a standard 20 GB Microsoft HDD. To be honest 20 GB is not enough for all the games that I own from Gold. With Microsoft shutting the store down next year I want to download all my games and keep them on my HDD. So my question is. Can I use a WD Blue 500 Gb drive as a replacement internal Drive in my Xbox 360?

    :)

    Using a retail WD Blue 500 GB HDD as a replacement internal HDD in my Xbox 360 with the standard 20 GB HDD.

    The best thing to do is make the WD blue an external drive, that way you can still have the 20 GB drive, and use the 500GB drive to store your games on. If you replace the 20GB, then you will not be able to play original Xbox games that are backward compatible on the Xbox 360, as the emulator is stored on the Xbox 360 hard drive.

    I connect via USB an external 1tb drive to my Xbox 360, and store all my Xbox 360 digital games on it, and still use the internal drive for saves, and add-ons that I have for the games.

    The store is not being shut down, only the ability to purchase new games is. Maintaining the level of security required for credit card processing is extremely expensive, and the amount of money being generated from the 360 no longer makes this viable. You will still be able to access all of your games as normal , just not buy new ones

    Xbox One Hard Drive.

    Hello "Hansaplastique" :)

    ..........

    It would have been nice to be able to swap the internal HDD of the Xbox One instead of having an external HDD stick out like an eye sore.

    ...........

    I still use the 20 GB HDD for my Xbox 360 and this HDD is so easy to replace :)

    I am pretty sure that a couple of HDD upgrades became available (60 GB, 120 GB, and 250 GB) shortly after my design model Xbox 360 came out.

    After this, the Xbox 360 Slim was introduced and I believe that this too had an easily swappable HDD :)

    ..........

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night "Hansaplastique" :)

    I still haven't seen a proper explanation for update sizes

    ^ I would agree to an extent with that, and add.

    500 GB INTERNAL HDD with Kinect. They then removing the Kinect so that the X1 could chew gum while walking. "Time Slice" I think they called it.

    Next, if memory serves. You got EXTERNAL HDD Support, because I FEEL that they knew the X1 would need a tone of HDD space to hold all those games/apps/updates.

    Reason I say ^ is because the 20 GB Xbox 360, went from ? HDD Space - 500 GB and you HAD to pay dearly to go from 20 - 60 then more $ to go from 60 - 120 - 250 - 500 GB and so on, and so forth over the years. Yet with the X1 it was almost overnight that
    they allowed External HDD support for even more than 1 External HDD.

    Trouble transferring content from old 320GB hard drive to new 500GB hard drive

    Smwutches, that isn't correct. MS released a new 500GB hard drive for the 360 this week; it came out Friday.
