The Xbox 360 is compatible with most external hard drives but only allows you to use a maximum of 16 gigabytes regardless of the size of the hard drive. External hard drives also cannot be used until they have been properly formatted.
Does Xbox 360 support 1TB HDD?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Your 360 will only format up to 16GB of your 1000GB drive—just the rules. The rest of the disk’s space is available for non-Xbox activities. You’re better off with a dedicated 16GB thumb drive (the Lexar Firefly!) for $20 from Amazon than leaving the 1TB drive hooked up.

Is Xbox 360 Slim good?
Overall, we do like the Xbox 360 Slim. It has its missing components (game, HDMI cable) and funky PlayStation 3-like shell, but it’s a more efficient machine than previous Xbox 360 models. And no more “red ring of death” either. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.
