I am wanting to use an external 120GB or 160GB HDD, has anyone got them working? If you got one working could you post the model number.

The 120 should work make sure to format using FAT32
up to 137 GIG

I am going to try a 120 over the weekend I'll let you know on it!

Ok how to I format it? I thought I would just put it in the external enclosure and plug it in.

Put it in the enclosure and format it in windows. Right click the drive and select format. Make sure that you format as a FAT32. Just so you know, you can only play music and pictures from the hard drive, no video.

So it is possible to use a external hdd with your 360? And will it have the same functionality as the original 360 harddrives (so being able to store demos,trailers and game expansions)? If it is possible,any tutorial on how to hook it up to your 360?

As long as it reads and writes, it's what people want. I think most people want it for music. I know I can't fit my music collection on a 360 HDD as well other stuff I'd want, and using a USB one is extremely annoying because you can't save playlists and can only play 100 songs maximum.

Sorry, why does it have to be 120? I have a 160 and 250 will those work? So they must be formatted in FAT 32 otherwise it wont work?

FYI, I just plugged in a MS Dos (Mac Disk Utility formatted) 10 gb drive via USB 2.0. First tried an mp3 and it worked. Then tried a .mov and .wmv movie file. .wmv worked fine. So in conclusion, the video worked from a third party external USB 2.0 hard drive formatted in what I think to be fat32.

About to try a 120 gb drive with tons of .wmv files on it. I'll report back if all is well.

Cheers
