The 360 will take any two external USB storage media up to 16 Gigs (for a total of 32 Gigs). If you tried to use this, your 360 would likely only read 16 GB of its total capacity. You're better off buying some cheap thumb drives or networking your 360 with whatever computer you have the hard drive plugged into so you can stream your media.

You need one of the internal Xbox 360 hard drives. Get the official Xbox branded drives from Microsoft themselves. The 3rd party HDDS are lower quality and can get your console banned. USB devices will NOT work, not even external USB hard drives.

Yes, it will work with USB 2.0, just at 2.0 speeds. And I'm currently using one of these as external storage for my 360, can't tell you for sure how the XBone works though.

You need to look up the maximum drive size a 360 can use. I believe they just recently increased it. That would be the only limitation.

If the XBOX has a USB port for external storage then I would say yes. The drive is backward compatable with USB 2

I will give you a direct answer. You need a Microsoft brand transfer cable and a Microsoft brand hard drive in order for transferring content to work. I had to find that out the hard way this Christmas. Both the later model hard drives and the current model ones I am pretty sure have the same plug but they do make newer model plugs as well for the later release Xbox 360 consoles.

Yes, but only a proprietary Microsoft drive. They're available on Xbox.com if they're not still being sold in stores. The drives made for the ORIGINAL Xbox 360 won't work with this, it has to be a model made specifically for the Xbox 360 "slim" i.e. S or E models. (The S and E models both use the same drives.)You'll absolutely want a hard drive because for one thing, without it the Xbox is VERY loud. Installing games to the drive makes it MUCH quieter. It can also help games load faster, and in some cases games don't really work or are missing large parts of the game if you don't have a hard drive. If possible, buy a model that already has one...but if you already have one without a drive, you'll want to add one. Yes, but only a proprietary Microsoft drive.

According to the following source, you need a system update to use standard USB flash drives on the Xbox 360.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_accessories#USB_Storage_DevicesDisclaimer: I don't own a Xbox

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.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

My son doesn't play this game. He plays Halo, GTA. Minecraft that type of games. What this hard drive does is it gives extra 250 GB to store and play video games and other stuff the xbox is used for. Because originally the Xbox360 he was given had only 4GB which is very little. We were about to buy a new Xbox360 250GB until I found out thru research that this hard drive will solve the problem - lack of storage. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what that means, but this hard drive can be installed on any xbox360 slim. The newer black ones. If your xbox has a hard drive on the outside and is the original version, then it will not work. But if you have the slim, this is a good buy.

According to http://kotaku.com/the-best-external-hard-drives-for-your-xbox-one-1586710559 it does.

It should if you have an 'authentic Microsoft hard drive', as those have a special compatibility software needed. If its a third party or imitation hard drive, it might not work. Source: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360#List_of_compatible_titles

I bought this one here at Amazon: 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, but today I'd get this bigger one that is now available: http://www.amazon.com/500GB-Hard-Drive-Internal-Black/dp/B00JJIJNB6/ref=pd_cp_pc_3. Mine installed easily and automatically, and works fine. Any hexagonal drive designed for the Xbox will work, and any that are supposed to be for the Slim (like mine) will work perfectly on the 360E.

The later model 360 cannot be upgraded because the hd is internal. Unless you know someone who can mod it for you or you can do it yourself, there may be a cheaper route. The earlier models had external hard drives you could swap out. Sorry for the let down

Zoran your post is useless. This drive is simply not compatible with the 360 period. Your link goes to a page which simply describes the update that creates the flash memory option through the 360 OS to begin with. It doesn't make this garbage drive compatible. Buy it yourself and find out.
