Xbox 360: How many GB of hard drive do you recommend me?

Rider del espacio · Apr 5, 2019

Hello guys!

As I said in a previous post, I would like to buy a second hand Xbox 360. My last console was a super nintendo and I would like to get a Xbox 360 to play to a lot of games, to explore and enjoy this "new" console with "new" games
(they are just new for me, of course) to have a warm reencounter with the world of the video games! hurray!!... with this amazing and good quality console in an affordable way for my budget... because in a second hand shop I can get many games for very affordable
price... and maybe in a future I can upgrade to the Xbox One... but right now definitely I think that it is not the moment for myself to buy a Xbox One

Said this, I need some help to choose the Hard Drive of the console please. If you can help me, that would be great!:

In the shop there are several options about the Hard Drive that comes with the console (both for the Slim and the Super Slim): No HD, 4GB, 250GB, 320GB, 500GB

any of these consoles are more recommendable than the rest? or they are the same but with different hard drive? which of them are older models?

I have heard that in the case of the 4GB, the 4GB are integrated in the motherboard and there is still a free slot to add the common Hard Drive. It is that true? Any problems with the Hard Drive of 4GB? Could I get the Xbox 360 with 4GB and add a 250GB
hard Drive for example?

How many GB of hard drive do I need to enjoy the Xbox 360 games without problems?

How many GB do you recommend me for the Xbox 360?

and what about the non-official Hard Drives? there are problems of compatibility?

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

All the best

Thanks a lot

500 gb would be the highest and best if you plan to download a lot of games. Most people use an external HD these days just to avoid worrying about size. No console is better then the other in that regard. It's just the size that's different.

I would suggest the 500 and then have an external hard drive anyways

The hard drive is in the bottom, you can take part of the bottom off and pull the hard drive out. It tells you how to do it in the xbox manual. Or you can have a look here http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-360/how-to/add-remove-hard-drive
