Die Mod-Seuche ist bei uns gelandet

Adding some storage capacity to your Xbox 360 is really easy to do. The best part about using a USB hard drive with your 360 is that YOU have control of what content you have on it. With the factory Xbox hard drive you cannot load any content to it unless its acquired from Live or ripped form CD's. That does not do much for us that want our MP3 collection on our Xbox 360.

All you need is the following:
A hard drive of your choice.
A USB 2.0 to ATA adapter for type of drive you will be using.

If your using a laptop 2.5" drive that has a form factor height of less than 9.5mm then our ultra slim USB 2.0 case is perfect.

If you are using a 3.5" IDE drive you will need the appropriate USB 2.0 adapter for that drive.

If you are using a drive larger that 32GB in size you will need Partition Magic or some other drive/partition utility that supports larger FAT32 partitions.

This is a really simple process. First assemble the drive and USB adapter. Next plug the unit into your PC. If your running Windows XP the device will be automatically recognized and installed. If you are running an older operating system you may need to install a drive. Next create a new FAT32 partition on the newly installed device. Again if the drive is larger than 32GB you will need to use a utility like Partition Magic to create the volume. Last you need to format the volume. Same rule applies for formatting as well; if it is larger than 32GB you will need some other utility. Windows does not support creation and formatting of devices larger than 32GB.

Once you've got it all done you should be able to load content to the drive via windows. Plug it into your 360 and go to media and select portable device and bam.. there's YOUR media.
