Wish I could help you on this one, but I'm the grandmother who gave this as a gift to my young grandson. I could ask him your question and get back to you later. I actually know nothing about Xbox.

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.

No it can't play original Xbox games "out of the box." I was able to mod mine so that it will. There are some YouTube videos on how to make a 360 backwards compatible. If you're good with computers it's not hard.You need a SATA-to-USB cable (such as the Xbox transfer cable but MAKE SURE it's for the slim as the other one won't fit) to hook it up to your computer. You download a program called "Xplorer 360" that can read and write to the HDD, and you download the partition that allows for playing original Xbox games, then you use that .bin file to run a restore on partition 2.After I did that, I popped the HDD back in and it plays Halo 2. Before it gave me the error message. No it can't play original Xbox games "out of the box." I was able to mod mine so that it will.

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.

Yes, but only some games. You need to check the list of working games on xbox website.

Yes. You can actually still use the old game disk as well, you just have to install the second disk of the set which has all the dlc on it

I would say no b/c nothing with xbox one is backward compatible. But I'm not 100 percent sure. Call game stop.

quite possibly. if not you could always transfer saved games to it. I don't have any downloaded games to tell you for sure.

Yes, you can connect this to your Xbox One. In fact, I bought this particular drive just for my Xbox One. By the way, the Xbox Console will ask you if you want to make this as your default storage drive or not. In addition, you can move your files in the internal HDD to the external one or have copies of your games on both the external and internal drive.

I don't know. You might want to do a bit more research on the External Drive and the xbox in regards to requirements of the xbox and the capabilities/specs of the drive.

yes it will allow you to make a restore file to clean the system and restore it wit the games you had on it up to that date. I'be done one myself with this vary unit.

Yes, being able to play older games was one of my reasons for this purchase. It comes in a Microsoft package and I have had no problems since installing. Not all old game discs will play however. There are upgrades for many of them. Do some online research to find out if your favorite games have the needed upgrade available. Hope this helps.

The older model of xbox 360 you can but this one I don't know never tried it

I'm not a Gamer myself but it does come with the X-Box App downloaded on Windows 8. So any games you would play via Xbox can be played on the computer via the App. I'm afraid this review probably won't be much help......

The hard drive itself has nothing to do with the ability to play original xbox games on the 360 slim w/ kinect. It is just storage device to save game play data as well dlc. To find out what original xbox games can be played on the 360 slim w/ kinect, I would recommend visiting to the xboxlive forums for more detailed information.

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.

If you bought the one your asking about then yes, you will just have to switch out the board from the original xbox dvd drive. Ive had no problems from the xbox since i purchased and switched the drives.
