xbox360 external usb HDD still not any brand working?

hi, i am just curious.. is this still the case that only special USB media (2TB or 4TB) is working using the xbox360, or is this old news? i would like to buy an USB hdd but would avoid the xtra costs.. ty

:)

 

Reasons why I won't get the Xbox One or any Microsoft product from now on unless changes are made immediately.

I agree 500GB isn't a lot of space and hopefully Microsoft will someday allow external HDD like the Wii U (i think?)

@ ScreamingPyscho MS already have, they just have not confirmed IF you will require a proprietary USB 3.0 compliant external HDD or if you can use any brand of USB 3.0 compliant external HDD.

 

does any external HD work with XB1?

Any USB 3.0 external HDD with at least 256gb will work with the X1.

 

Seagate hard drives are the only ones known to cause issues, but any other external hard drive should be fine. You can only use up to 2TB though.

 

sorry i fear i did not make myself clear enough... is this still the case that only Microsoft certified usb drives will allow you to store *GAMES* ? i am not talking about media...

about a year back my 1TB WD drive was not accepted, but this could have been changed due recent OS updates, i can not check yet because to external USB drive around...

this 4TB drive should work:

however, i wonder if it is still needed to buy a MS certified drive...

 

There are some games that require an MS hard drive to run, but outside of those games you can use any external hard drive to store games.

 

lol, funny answer. so you still need an MS certified drive.
