Scott K Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I need to install a larger hard drive for my Xbox. If you use an external, does it slow down the reaction time? Is there a disadvantage of using an external compared to an internal? If you use an eternal, what do you need to do to format it to the Xbox? I just tried plugging in an external I had laying around here, and the Xbox didnt recognize it in the storage section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd4ever Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My buddy has an external and loves it, keeps telling me to get one, I don't game like he does so the standard one that came with it has done me fine. How to install it, I don't know, I am sure a google or similar search would get you the answers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKLCOLT1911 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 scott what version xbox do you have, i have a spare HD laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It is the newer version, but I did get a external to work, I just had to make a fat32 partition to the hard drive. It is only using 32gig, but the one in the xbox is only a 4gig, so it should keep me good for awhile. I see no difference in game play using an external, at least so far.
