Beginners Shopping Guide for Xbox 360 Hard Drives
When shopping for an Xbox 360 hard drive, there are many factors to consider. The first is size; the larger the hard drive, the more storage you will have for games, music, movies and other content. The next factor is the type; there are two types of drives available for the Xbox 360, an internal hard drive or an external hard drive. Both offer plenty of storage, but some gamers may prefer the portability of an external drive.
When shopping for an internal hard drive, it’s important to make sure that it is compatible with your Xbox 360 console. Most Xbox 360 consoles come with a 120GB internal hard drive, but if you want more storage space, you can purchase a larger drive up to 500GB. To install an internal hard drive, you will need to open up your console and remove the old one before installing the new one. If you’re not comfortable doing this, you can always take your console to a certified technician for installation.
For those who prefer portability, an external hard drive is a great option. External drives typically range from 320GB to 500GB, and they plug into the back of your Xbox 360 via USB. This makes them easy to move from one console to another, and you don’t have to worry about opening up the console and installing the drive yourself. However, external drives can be more expensive than internal drives.
Whichever type of hard drive you choose, make sure to read the reviews of the product to make sure you are getting a reliable drive and that it is compatible with your Xbox 360 console. Happy shopping!
