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?

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

There is a opening in the xbox 360. It's on the side of the 360. There is videos on YouTube. That's what I did to put in my. Plus this hard drive only works on xbox 360's that are the black 4gb's. If you have the 250gb xbox 360 it won't work

I use mine in my xbox 360. It works just fine in mine. Will it let you format it? If so see if you can format it to a fat32

The answer that I got from Toshiba staff is "This drive is formatted in the NTFS format and must be reformatted to the FAT32 format to use it with an Xbox 360. Once reformatted it will work fine." Hope this helps!

You can use a real USB thumb drive with the Xbox 360 (it will format it so it's only used on the Xbox). A counterfeit drive will lose all your data and game saves. Please read the reviews and don't buy this!

Actually a regular sandisk can :) it's just some people don't want to click a simple button on there comp. plus I use other usb that aren't even sandisk and they work as well, so ps lover ether buy the name brand Xbox usb or be like every other intelligent gamer and get a normal one. It's not rocket science

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

Not sure what a XBOX 360 E is. My Xbox 360 was the 4GB model and it fit mine perfect. I bet yours is the same as mine. Note; the 360 4GB models do not even have a hard drive. They save games on a internal flash mememory. I did not know this when I bought mine. This is relavant because I thought I needed a data transfer cable to transfer the data from the Xbox to the new hard drive. As it turns out, you should not unless someone has already put another hard drive in your Xbox. If all your data is on the internal falsh drive, you should be able to install this hardrive and switch the data through the setting menu. Maybe it will save you a littl $$$. Hope this helps.

It works very well as an external drive for xbox one. I specifically bought it for my xbox one. It's been more than 6 months now and no issue what so ever.

I bought it for my friend. His system is 4GB Xbox. It is used as an extra drive. it works fine for him.

Sorry to tell you, yeah it's a bad drive. These aren't official Microsoft hard drives, so sometimes they won't work. Try returning it. Mine works pretty nice, but had I known that it wasn't actually produced by Microsoft, I wouldn't have bought it.

Yup, just put a 32GB one in mine. Only shows 29.something gigs, a few short of full capacity, as do all cards and flash drives I wish I knew why and it drives me kooky, hee. But yes, it works. So there you go. Update: Please take note, previously I'd answered that someone informed me the he's using a 64GB card on this unit. He's since informed me that he had mistakenly posted on the wrong thread and intended that info for another player. So I've edited my answer. That said, the info on the 32GB card still stands, as I'm personally using one in my Evo. Cheers

I haven't had that experience, but I am having trouble with the 64 gig memory. I have windows 8 and Office 365 installed and I am out of storage space. Get wierd freezes and messages pretty often now. No way to upgrade the storage either, as far as I know.

No, well at least it shouldn't. I've never had this problem before, the only thing that is wrong with this hard drive is that it has no built in emulater to have the ability to play original Xbox games. Before making the purchase though, if available, try using a thumb drive as a save utility and see if that solves the problem. Just to make sure it's the hard drive and not the console. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
