Accepted Answer

It was delivered in a timely manner, in good condition. I used it for the first time yesterday. It worked just like I expected it to. I haven't worked with technology a lot to now if it's better or worse than other brands with other performance preferences. It offered me enough space for a freshman in college with a college budget. haha. Hope that helps as you make your pick:)

Question 4

can this work with xbox360?

Accepted Answer

To answer your question, its a two parter. Its a yes and a no. Yes the hard drive will work, but you will be limited to only being able to utilize up to 32GB of this drive for the Xbox. It has to deal with the filing system of the Xbox. My recommendation is one of two things, either find someone (unless you are interested in doing it yourself) who can install the xbox software onto the drive. Its complicated but the tools and information is out there on how to do it. Otherwise, I would suggest you purchasing a couple of 32GB Flash Drives. The Xbox is picky when reading storage devices. For example, I have an HP 1TB External and it doesn't want anything to do with it, mainly because it is formatted at a NTFS. I would suggest, picking up a few 32GB USB Flash Drives, and formatting them as FAT32. If you have a Windows based computer, you can put the drive in your computer, then go to "my computer" right click and click "Format" for File Type choose Fat32, usually for a drive that size if you click Default settings it will automatically choose Fat32. I hope this information helps and I am sorry its not what you were hoping to hear.
