Does this hard drive allow you to play original xbox games?

Yes, the Microsoft Xbox 360 hard drive enables the playing of original Xbox games.
1094647
Yes, but only some games. You need to check the list of working games on xbox website.

Yes, i installed all my original games in the hard drive and they run much quicker although you have to insert the origial disc, it thoesn't allow you to play without disc. It is recomended to install all the content because the lasser reader is the first issue that could break

Unless it is officially developed by Microsoft (it would have the Microsoft insigna as well as "Xbox360" engraved on it), then the answer is No.

No it won't. Only hard drives made by Microsoft will play original Xbox games. But otherwise, this hard drive works well!

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.

Yes, of course,, for example ghost recon future soldier, gta v , sniper ghost warrior, call of duty ...etc ...is good hard drive

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

Not at all. It's basically a 60gb flash drive for your xbox. You just go through the content on your console and move it to the hard drive. It's really quite simple and does not do anything to your content.

I don't believe so. The I believe the original Xbox had a DVD drive, not a CD drive. It wasn't able to play DVDs because it lacked DVD-movie codecs. But look for a DVD/CD drive. Make sure it's IDE, not SATA.

Now that is a good question but i would say no just because it says you need a "hard drive" to play that game/download that game

I do not know this from experience, but this HDD should be fine for installing Battlefield 4 and any other game. I recently installed the GTAV install disc to this HDD, which had a similar requirement to BF4, and I can confirm (from experience) that it worked for the mandatory install for Battlefield 3. This OEM HDD will work for any X-Box 360 game, disc-based or digital games. The only thing it will not work for is "X-Box Originals" games that have been re-released on XBL ... For instance, the original Halo CE or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There are some tricks to get those games to work, but IMO, they're not worth the trouble.

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.

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

Nope, you can transfer all of the data on the Xbox to the hard drive once you insert it

If you follow the instructions detailed in some of the reviews to "restore partition 2" it will play compatible Xbox games. It's pretty easy to do, you just need to hook the hard drive up to a Windows computer using a transfer cable and follow the instructions.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Don't expect this drive to work at all. Couldn't even install and play the first game I tried on it and that was a 360 game. Original Xbox games require a specific partition to be in place on the drive that this drive lacks. I'd go for an official Microsoft drive.

Yes. You can play any Original Xbox Games that are compatible with the Xbox 360. This is the best list of compatible games I could find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360. Have fun.

Once installed your xbox will see it as an additional drive. You should be able to just select the drive.

Yes, but there is a list of certain games that can be played on the 360. The list can be found here: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-other-devices/original-console/play-original-games
