I've heard this HDD will not work on 4GB Xbox 360 E models. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I have the 4GB xbox 360 E and the drive is recognized, but I wasn't able to play original xbox games. A quick google took care of that and after running a program with the drive connected to my computer I am now able to play original xbox games.

Absolute bologna because I ordered it for my 4GB Xbox 360 e and it works perfectly. I downloaded the update and it plays all of Xbox 360 games without any problems. Still using it today.

I had ordered the 500gb and it did not work with 4GB Xbox 360. I'm not sure if I received a defective one. But I ended up returning it.

Check the left side of your console, if there is a hidden compartment for, look inside for a connection port. If it is configured much like the HDD, you can use it. I have the 4GB Elite and it works fine.

I haven't had any problems like that up to this date. I was actually suprised by the quality of this hard drive because it looks like an exact clone to the Microsoft one. I know this doesn't really answer your question and that's because I haven't in countered your problem. I am not going to swear by this HDD as the reading might be your Xbox or might be the HDD if your looking to buy it do it. It's insanely great quality for the price.

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

Just to let everyone know this is not a certified may Microsoft HDD so it will not let you play original Xbox games with it. You will need a certified Microsoft HDD.

Don't know, I bought it for XBOX slim so not sure it would work on the 360 E

I never heard a clicking noise went inserting the hard drive into my new xbox360 E style. I put it in as soon as I got it fit perfectly it didn't make a clicking noise for me it fit just like using a flash drive in and out no problem.

I am using my drive in the 4gb e model 360 so i can confirm 150% it works in this model.

FWIW, I ordered this drive for use with the Xbox slim, and the Xbox states it does not meet the Xbox specs (that it may not perform to full specifications).

When I first bought this drive, it was formatted FAT-32 and out of the box, the XBOX 360 did not recognize it. After I deleted my files and reformatted (FAT-32 again), XBOX 360 DID recognize it.

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 I purchased the 4TB version and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with it and it gives you a ton of space for all those game downloads/installs etc..

If I recall correctly, any external HDD is compatible with the 360, but it will format the HDD to only be able to use 32 GB. Not sure if there is a work around for that now though.

All xbox 360s are supposed to have a hard drive . Some Units require a slim hard drive or up to a 250 that snaps in place on the top of the xbox . You need to figure out which type you need . If its the older style 360 2nd hand drives are available cheap if you look . Make sure its a OEM hard drive not a fake from china. In the mean time you can maybe hook up a large thumb drive like 32gb or 64 and could play some games till you get the right drive . I would suggest the 250 GB cause the space goes fast and is used for other things like demos , videos etc. I hope this helps. Ash

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

No. This hard drive is only compatible with the Xbox 360 Slim or Xbox 360 E. Not the arcade or pro.
