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.

Also is the existing memory soldered in? can it be taken out and replaced with a new memory module? The specs say it supports up to 16GB, has anyone tried it yet?

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

William as stated below I used YouTube. It was like having a professor next to me. I was extremely careful. Find the year and model of your mb and search with that RAM UPGRADE inside YouTube And u r golden.

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

Here is the Comanies Product Page. Click the Tab which says CPU/Memory Support and Downloads. Download the PDF to see they mention at least a very similar model to the one you have? http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4288#

Karen, you cannot add memory. You buy it as it is with 32 GB. Upgrade not possible, sorry.

Mike,I have not upgraded mine but I believe it can be upgraded to 8GB. Here is a link to Crucial memory http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7D87E7DAA5CA7304Keith

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

Look at the memory compatibility list in the manual and online. The Asus is fussy and just does not work with some memory timings.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

Please go to Crucial.com and install their tool. They will tell you what ram to use. It is a free utility, and does a wonderful and correct job. It has never given me the incorrect information. This is where everyone should start to select the correct ram. All I did, was gave a critical review of the ram I installed, at the recommendation of this utility. You can't go wrong.

Hi Gabriel I'm not sure, I went to www.crucial.com. I downloaded their Crucial System Scanner, it analyse's your system's hardware and provides a list of compatible upgrades that will work best with your system's specs and capabilities. Then I went to amazon because there were slightly cheaper. hope this helps you x
