Theoretically this would work for transportation and copying of files.
But not for playing games off them since it's not possible to keep a usb-driver in memory while the game plays.

As soon as you would start a game ur usb-hdd would become 'disconnected'

You could use a not-so-complicated swap file procedure built into the dashboard, where it temporarily loads the data off the USB HD onto the main HD, then every time the xbox is rebooted/dash starts it empties the contents of the temp folder.

well how about making a driver that will allow you to plug a CDRW in the one of the front usb ports on the xbox.

and allow you to copy music from your xbox music folder to a cd-r via the dash board
