Has anyone tried this HDD with an Original Xbox? I plan on cloning my Xbox drive to this so that I can use my Original Xbox as a media center.

I was looking for the same reason. According to the info i have read on doing this mod, this HDD should do the trick.

Yes, you can use a generic hard drive (with case and correct xbox 360 format) or original hard drive, both are on sale in amazon.com

Hey Harold, This is EXACTLY why I bought this drive. It is now sitting between my XB1 and my PS$ and all my games are on the seagate...I am thrilled with this purchase!! Works perfectly!!

,I'm not really familiar with partitions on an Xbox, Im a computer tech lol I will say this, it's as easy as plugging it in, automatically comes up as a second drive if that's what your asking :) works beautifully too, the easiest plug n play :)

I know nothing about partitioning an Xbox 360 hard drive. As far as I know it can't be done. If u are looking to play original Xbox games on ur 360 justpop in the disc and start playing.

Thanks for the response BryanWhat about xbox gaming. Since the 450 is only 720P how would xbox games that are formatted in HD look? Would I loose image quality since this is not a 1080P?thanks

It worked AWESOME on my 360. It works with all the 360 games I have. The original title games are the original Xbox games. It will work with original title games but you have to look it up Google "Xbox 360 Partition 2". This hdd ROCKS right out of the box! Buy it, store it, play it, love it.

Hunter I do not have a Xbox 360 Slim so I cannot say for sure, but a quick search came up with this...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130423162256AABZtjGSo I am guessing it probably would work just fine, although that Xbox owner say it will only use 32GB of the drive.Hope this helps,Ken

You don't use it with a One, the drive spins down to save power, in doing so the Xbox loses contact with it. What results is the drive constantly pinging that it's on and the Xbox notifies you each and every time. I had well over 60 notifications in ten minutes. Of course Xbox Support won't tell you that and so I learned the hard way

Thanks, I got this hard drive about a month ago and it has been working perfectly. I used the free trial of Acronis True Image 2010 to clone the drive. Now I have this drive and my old 320GB 54K for a backup drive!

I use mine in my xbox 360. It works just fine in mine. Will it let you format it? If so see if you can format it to a fat32

I just started using this USB on my new 360. I got the same message after formatting on my Xbox. And I started loading games on it anyway. It works as an alternative to spinning the disk. It's probably not the fastest drive you could use, but it seems as fast as the disk would be or a touch faster. Use it and get another one. There's plenty of ports to fill with USB drives. I'm getting another one besides this exact one just to put more games on.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

You don't need a proprietary Microsoft one. I ordered this Hausbell one, which was the cheapest available at Amazon, at the time: http://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-320G-Hard-Drive-Microsoft/dp/B00B0QONB0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1417195335&sr=8-16&keywords=xbox+hard+drive -it installed very easily and automatically, and has worked perfectly. There are larger ones now available, and I'd guess other brands are just as good. In fact, my drive had nothing that identified it as a "Hausbell" drive -the drive looked totally generic. Note that this and other drives advertised and/or labeled as for the Slim, work fine on the 360E because the octagonal slots are identical.

Yes. From what I heard, the only thing this hard drive will not do is play original Xbox games but I can't personally verifiy that.
