I'm sorry I don't know anything about Xbox. It stores anything you can get out of a lap top

Yes, you can buy an internal hard drive and install to the console, also works with some external hard drives.

I am sure you can, just use the Xbox like a computer when it ask you where to save it you will have the option to either use either storage area's. Hope this was helpful.

Sure, you can use an external enclosure and use it as a backup drive. Just remember that it's a 2.5 inch drive (like in laptops), not a regular 3.5 inch (like in a pc).Cheers

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

Yes, you can install just about any Xbox 360 stuff on a flash drive which has been formatted for the Xbox 360. I had to perform a manual update to my console because I can't connect to the Internet, so I downloaded the console update to my flash drive and installed it manually. Flash drives are awesome!

Some games are reverse compatible with a hard drive. Not all original Xbox games are. If the hdd works then yes you should be able to but I would buy it at a game stop location to be on the safe side that way if it does not you can still return it fairly easily.

You can also plug a USB HDD in and do a content drag and drop from explorer, or use something like the free versions of EASUS, Paragon, Free sync etc., set up a back up and let it run overnight, but you have to be willing to become an active participant in your data backup routine, at least once. The plus is that you can back up what's important to you and not the fluff that might accumulate like TV shows you aren't going to watch again.

Yes, but the Xbox will only use 32GB of it. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/storage

No it should be fine backing up cloud saves, and new saves as well as copy over the saves from your 4gig internal flash drive.. Downside, unless you have your saved games in the cloud or are not corrupt, they are gone forever unfortunately.

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

No Problem. If he has a regular usb flash drive he can transfer everything from his old HDD without lose. Your son will lose his saved game data and any games that are downloaded over xbox live. The downloaded games arent completely gone. He can re-download the games without having to pay for them again.

You should be able to as long as you do not exceed the capacity of the drive. Please see my other review as to backup. DO NOT use the Seagate backup utility that comes with the drive as it fails to back up many of the most important informational files in Windows installs. Use a dedicated 3rd party backup software (I use Macrium Reflect) and dump the garbage software provide by Seagate.

No. Get something more reliable like a WD BLUE OR BLACK (black is better) This drive failed on me after only 4 months in my Xbox 360. I replaced it with a 360mb WD black after a lot of careful research.

Not if you buy it online. Microsoft usually gives you the option of downloading the software and mailing you a backup disc. However, if all you have is the disc then you will need to get an external hard drive.

I don't know why not. It is about 2 Gig. I downloaded it at my cabin and then took it home on a external drive. I had no problems.

Yeah. I use it between my computer to my xbox and then use it to carry my xbox 360 saves to friends houses and vice versa along with other data. I never come close to filling the massive 16GB and it works perfect. Sometimes when i go to push it into the USB slot it just pushes it back into the case but you just have to make sure you have it fully extended so it locks.
