    Which external hard drives do you use (up to 2 TB)?

    I've got an Xbox 360 Slim and I want an external hard drive. I want to know which you use and if you experience anything wrong with it? Would an internal hard drive with external enclosure work? Are there requirements for the hard drive, e.g. FAT32?

    Which external hard drive to use with Xbox 360 ?

    Hi there SILVER8Knight. In my opinion I would use sandisk or lexar with flash drive. The reason why you need flash drive is because then the 360 can get the information from the stick to your screen quick enough and with out any lag.

    P.s. Get a big enough storage space for what you want .

    Yes flash drive the external hard drive only works on the Xbox one and has to be over 256gb, but that doesn't matter. Yeah go for flash drive.

    Which external hard drive to use with Xbox 360 ?

    This is very interesting news..didn't know that the 360 could use large external drives.

    I knew about attaching flash drives for added storage, but not actual HDDs.

    It'll be very handy for extra space..need to look into this, get a new drive I reckon.

    According to this
    majornelson.com/.../xbox-360-system-update-for-preview-program-members-now-supporting-2tb-hard-drives

    its about adding an extra hard drive like you can do with the Xbox One.
