Swizzy 2084 Posted January 3, 2015 You can use any hdd up to 2TB atleast, some have managed to get 3TB hdd to work aswell... You need to have FAT32 as the filesystem on the external hdd, this is why you can only have files which are a maximum of 4GB per file... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madgamer24 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Thnks man..so if I format it to Fat32 will it work with no limits? Can I use any external hdd? Any size 2.5 and 3.5 Ow and I've never actually used a external hdd.will I need to have my pc on inable it to work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted January 3, 2015 Format it as FAT32 and it shall work... there's no limitations beyond the normal ones (4GB/file maximum) and whatever else FAT32 have... You can use any external HDD up to 2TB without any major issues, bigger discs i cannot say how they'll behave... i'd recommend going for a USB 2.0 as some have had issues with 3.0 and you don't gain anything from 3.0 anyways... 2.5" and 3.5" are essentially the same, the difference is that 3.5" generally have external power source... and they can often be bigger... You can use the harddrive just like you would normally when connected to your PC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madgamer24 0 Posted January 3, 2015 So I won't have any limits if I format it to fat32 no 4GB per file that's right? And can use it with my original 250GB together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

talby71 14 Posted January 3, 2015 no you cant use files bigger than 4gb....swizzy has said that 3 times already you need to need to convert theĀ ISO files into GOD files so they can be used ( or as saywaking has said below...had a brain fade and couldnt think of xbox image browser )...just meaning converted to smaller than 4gb files you will also need to set the scan paths in FSD or Aurora to scan the external HDD so you can use it too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saywaking 289 Posted January 3, 2015 You dont have to convert isos to GOD container. You also can extract them with Xbox 360 image browser or other tools. The files are never larger than 4gb. Thats why copying those files into your fat32 hdd is working. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
