Question

ok so i have a 24 GB Hard drive on my xbox 360 now im looking to go the cheap way out of this instead of going to the store and buying a 120 GB Hard drive for 100$
instead of buying a 640 GB External Hard drive for 60$ that i seen online. now my question is would that work on an xbox 360? ive tried it with my USB (Sandisk 8GB) and it worked with
the formatting and stuff but idk if i can do it with an External Hard drive for the
PC heres the link to the Hard Drive i was looking at

Answer 1

Yes you can.



If you have the old model xbox 360 you will need to connect to the internet (if its not already) and update to allow you to use a usb device as your hard drive.



I'm sure that and most HDDs would work, i have a cheap 500GB that works fine.
