Xbox 360 USB Drive Tests with Achievement Hunter
May 26th, 2010 by VC Review
Hit arrow to expand for summary and testing details: Geoff and Burnie’s hand try out a series of USB flash drives to see which one works best with the new Xbox 360 Dashboard Update! They chose to install Borderlands, because of the 3.3 gig file size (which would have fit on the 4 gig card had it worked). Results: Xbox HD: 5 minutes, 25 seconds Sandisk flashdrive: 16 minutes, 10 seconds Sandisk Cruzer: 21 minutes, 58 seconds PNY 16: 8 minutes, 38 seconds PNY 4 Mini: Not compatible External Seagate HD: 5 minutes, 25 seconds Lacie 2T external HD: 5 minutes, 29 seconds

@ApplePC360Tutorials All usb drives are not the same,cheaper drive means slower speeds,and easier to damage.I have 80gb total usb memory thanks to this update,and i’m not telling you how i have 80gb.Also i can transfer the xbox data easier and make my own themes and gamer pics.

@VeryNiceHighfive Thank you for your reply, I guess buying an external hard drive makes more sense that buying a USB flash drive.

@jodase01 yeah you can i have that exact seagate hard drive they use and it works great and i still have 23gb left over for other data. Just make sure that it is formatted in fat32. So i think this is a great buy.
May 26th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
i got mine for 10$ LOL

Hi, I have a question, can I use an external HDD for the xbox 360 (like the seagate he has used in the video, I know there is a 16GB cap for external storage devices) and use the remaining free space for data? I mean, can I remove the hard drive off the xbox without losing any data or games saved?
Thanks.

LMFAO SO FUNNY anything else? nope. i love you. i love you too. LMFAO!!!

@MrZoom4100 Any flash drive should be compatible with the Xbox 360.
May 26th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
@holder350 When you attach the device to another source ( like a laptop for instance ) it should let you store anything you want on it just as long as you don’t overwrite the 360 data. However the Xbox 360 will only be able to use up to 16gb so buying a 16gb flash is really the only thing worth getting for this feature unless you already have a mobile HDD that is bigger.

hey does the pny 16 gb still act as a hard drive? like on halo 3 if i wanted to watch a video of me playing would it still say xbox 360 hard drive required?
May 26th, 2010 at 6:15 pm

May 26th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
