The 360 probably has a limit of a 20gig hd, not sure though.

But that wont replace the real hdd. For DLC from XBL.
Also you cant swap the hdd. If i remember correctly there is a unique id on each hdd so you cant just swap it.

I was thinking of picking up a internal 100 gb and putting it in a usb case shell... (you save anywhere from $50 to $150 doing this.)

but would i have to connect it to my pc still if i wanted to copy songs from my mp3 player to it? and can you still store demos and everything? because if i cant store demos, trailers and stuff off of live, its pointless.

HA right. I'm with TMK, I hate hardware mods. Very risky.

As of this minute you cant use a non ms made xbox harddrive for savedata,dlc,trailers,dem os.etc. Just for streaming music and possibly for vids from your PC not xbox marketplace vids.

You are correct. Their cant be a 20gb limit because ms said they might release larger models of the hdd.

**Tommi** · 09-15-2006, 01:59 PM

There can very easily be a limit for the time being. It would only be a software limit. And we all known how MS love to update there software. So if/when they release a bigger HDD they could also release an update allowing it to use bigger HDD's.

@tommi. I don't think there is a limit at all.

Well if Microsoft was smart.. right now the 360 is formated in FAT32.. which would only have a max of around 40 Gigs.. and if anybigger microsoft would have the new harddrives in NTFC.

"In theory, this should support a total of approximately 268,435,438 (< 228) clusters, allowing for drive sizes in the range of 2 terabytes." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat32

Even if it is limited they could just have multiple partitions and a user wouldn't even know.
