Xbox 360 now supporting 2TB hard drives

4.6
Microsoft announced that the next update for Xbox 360 Preview Program members will allow the use of 2TB hard drives. The update will later move to those not in the Preview Program later this year. Adding to this, they will also no longer reserve space in advance on your hard drive.

Microsoft does note that some drives may be incompatible or have performance issues.

"The next update for Xbox 360 Preview Program members will allow the use of 2TB hard drives to store Xbox 360 data. If you are not part of the Preview program you will get this functionality later this year. In addition we will also no longer reserve space in advance on your hard drive."


Note: Some drives may be incompatible or have performance issues. If you already have space reserved for storing Xbox 360 data, you will need to clear the Xbox 360 storage to gain full access to the drive. If you are in the Preview program, please review the list of known issues before formatting your drive.

It's nice that they will finally be releasing support for 2TB HDDs. I would've liked if they did this a while ago since I don't play my Xbox 360 too much anymore, but it's still nice that they're finally going to add it.

I'm still only 50% into my original. Don't think i'll ever need the 2TB...

Maggardo I personally don't see how anyone could use up, 2TBs of storage on the Xbox 360. I haven't even used a 4th of that on my gaming PC.


Yeah same that's a crazy amount and I don't see why you would need it, I'm coping just fine with the white xbox 360 hard drive and have done for years now.


Are you complaining? Its more storage space, how do you even find a way to not like this?

Bit mad not that the 360 will be alive for many more years especially when they remake cods for current gen

Meh, not many people still play 360. Sounds cool anyway.

Narcissistic wish it supported 3tb :( dats all i got


More than likely you will be able to use your 3tb drive but the xbox will only be able to utilize up to 2tb of that drive. The rest will be free space for you to use.

Znait .... It's sort of a little bit late for that. The 360 died and nobody will be in a rush to re-download tons of old content they had before.


I don't know about that. I made a 500gb not to long ago and downloaded all my content to it and ran out of room. Also I have a xbox one so. I would say it depends on the person. But you also are right, not everyone is going to be doing that right away when it becomes available. Still its nice to have all that space going to become available.
