Here is a post I found that seems very useful:Go here to make your flash drive work on Xbox 360:http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2777 Note: I have not personally tried this. Basically it explains that the 2010 online update makes it so things should work properly.

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.

Trying formatting (full not quick) in NTFS on your PC before plugging it in. This worked for me on a similar HP Flash Drive. Then leave it plugged in, XBOX doesn't like it plugged and unplugged will attempt reformat when detected. I lost a almost a month of save files that I had stored by removing it.Good luck.Neil

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'm having the same problem as Anthony - I have two of these, but one keeps reformatting itself whenever I turn off the XBOX. I tried formatting the drive into NTFS, but to no avail. Any other ideas?

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.

I have never had an issue with the game requiring storage on my internal HDD. Just like Tom said, I could see it possibly being an issue if you were near or close to capacity, but I only have about 4 gigs left on mine, and I've never had an issue. Hope that helps.

I bought the 16 gb scandisk that said "xbox" on it, it worked fine. to save money I bought a regular scandisk , also 16gb, and it seems to work fine also. I think any flashdrive would work, as long as it fits in the usb port

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.

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

Yeah it gives you access to Xbox LIVE play online etc. but as soon i redeem the code it would log me off when i turn on my Xbox or even when i use my apps such as Netflix or Youtube it was working fine when I didnt have access to LIVE I need to call Xbox for support to fix the problem. This is what im experiencing after i bought it online for the first time, before i would get them at Target,711 or just straight from the menu from your Xbox.Hope this helps you out in some way.

K writing and loading saves works, but it is very slow lol. The Xbox freezes for 5-10 seconds while saving or loading. Playing arcade games from it is a no-go, they lag and freeze up a lot. I'm only gonna use it for saves anyway, but if you're looking to store games on it this one is not for you.

From what I've read, chances are you didn't download the right file from the Sony website. There are at least two different files. One of them is around 300MB-400MB (307MB to be exact), and there is another that is 859MB. You MUST download the 859MB file in order reinitialize the drive when you first install it into the PS4. This allows you to not only install the 1.51 update, but it also has system files, etc. for reinstalling the system software on a blank hard drive. If you download the smaller file, it would be like trying to download updates from Windows update and then installing them on a drive that doesn't have a copy of Windows installed. Even if those were the most recent updates, it obviously wouldn't work. Something else that may be happening is that your USB drive is not being recognized. This happens periodically with USB drives, and considering the extremely flawed design and placement of the USB ports on the PS4, this could be the issue as well. The last thing, which is probably the first thing you thought of, is the hard drive is defective. I was getting constant lockups and have just sent in an RMA for a replacement of this drive. DOA items aren't anything new, so I just figured that, instead of getting discouraged, I would try this drive again. The RMA process has also been smooth so far, so I recommend exchanging it if you can't get it to work otherwise. Good luck.

If your XBOX works with standard USB storage devices this should work just fine. I would suggest either a 32 or 64gb USB flash drive. I just got a 64gb from Amazon for about $12 plus shipping.

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

I am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

not sure about prev problems but after connecting to computer a month ago - all works well. I kept refusing to buy the wheel since it wasn't an xbox live update. took a few mins to figure out thrustmaster site then it only took a minute to update it. works good- just have to change settings a lot due to different classes of cars. however, that's the norm according isim racing site. great place to learn about these wheels

Ouch :( I was in a similar position when I moved all my multiplayer saves to my flashdrive to play at friend's, but the files became corrupted after a while. I had thankfully made a backup on my pc 3 months before with Xport 360. So you're saying evrything was moved from the original drive to the new one over the cable but the data wasn't there when you started the 360 with the new drive? Or did Xbox Live apply an update and the data was erased after the update? It might still be there and recoverable, just unrecognized by the 360. First do not pit more stuff on the drive! It increases the chance of any data there previously being overwritten or becoming fragmented! Best to not even turn the 360 on with the drive in. Try using fatx explorer, as it actually has a recovery tool for deleted files. If the 360 redormatted the drive entirely though, your data is gone, as formatting deletes the data and overwrites it with a blank slate.

I have no experience with that issue. The only thing I know is that this hard drive is specifically for the 360 SLIM, so if you are using it on a standard 360 that could be the problem; although I'm not a tech or a gamer. I bought it for my grandsons 360 Kinect Slim. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
