XBOX 360 external HDD Support

Hi there,

since this isn't really an issue that requires support, the best thing to do is to leave this feedback in the wishlist/feedback forums here:

forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

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.

1. Have console connected to Xbox Live to update online gamertag profile. (May need to play and save game to update online gamertag profile or add any recent achievements) 2. Carefully transfer all save data to 2TB external drive. 3. Follow support link
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/add-remove-hard-drive to remove Internal HDD 4. Turn on console with external 2TB HDD connected, and without being logged into Xbox Live; Press Guide Button on controller, and download your gamertag profile
to external HDD. (Make sure your gamertag profile is working online, by checking to see if save data can be used on external HDD for games, as new System File should be created to external HDD) 5. Follow step 3 to install Internal HDD, and restart console
with external HDD connected. 6. Follow support link http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/storage to format Internal HDD (You will need access to back of console for console serial number) Note: If, System File or Gamertag Profile is created to
Internal HDD, after format; Just delete them, after you confirm that they are safely stored to External HDD etc.

Yes External HDD support is available. The External HDD must be at least 256GB in size and use USB 3.0. Keep in mind that the External HDD will have to be formatted for use with the Xbox One console.
