This video was really helpful. I bought my 360 Slim last year and was disappointed to learn that it was a 4GB model. I've been using a 8GB USB drive to save most my games on this whole time. Thanks!
You just saved me a LOT of money. My sister gave me her old 360 which is in way better condition than mine. You can imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that she didn't have a hard drive in it. Before I saw this video, I didn't even know the Xbox slim had removable storage.
My old 360 died on me a month ago or so. After more than 11 years of service, the red ribg of death (finally) came in. Because i'm still playing the heck of this thing;i bought a "new" one from a used products/pawnshop here in the Netherlands. My whole library of downloaded games through the years was on that old harddrive. I thought that it would be quite some work to replace the hard drive, but thanks to your video; it is pretty easy to do. I don't care if the video is old. You never know when you need the instructions. Old is Gold!!
I really appreciate it when someone does an excellent job with the video production of their work when they post it. This man was articulate and had a good video camera and also spoke in a clear manner and had excellent audio as well. And unlike so many of these idiots out here he actually knew what he was talking about and did exactly what the title of his video was.
I just bought a bunch of old games I used to love playing when I was younger and I couldn’t play them on my 360 because it needed one of those hard drives. The video really helped me out!!!
Shit man that's all I have to do! That's amazing! I was thinking it would be so much more complicated than what it is. My Xbox only has 3gb and I was freaking out about how I was going to install this thing but you have just put all of my worries aside thank you!
Thank you so much, I never knew this incredibly simple aspect of my old console and it allowed me to play backwards comparable games long after my system red-ringed❤
Thank you so much! My daughter's Xbox stop working and the seller sent a replacement but l had to switch the hard drive myself. I was afraid to touch that thing and worried l couldn't. I was thinking screwdrivers and prying open the bottom in my head in horror. Seeing this made everything better and l could easily switch them without fear or damage... OMG THANK YOU! 😱
I also heard that apparently getting a hard drive will also make you able to play games that are backwards compatible. Like Spider-Man Spider-Man 2 Ultimate Spider-Man or Ninja Gaiden black. I'm thinking I might buy one
I remember the times I fixer these things that the hard drive had to match the main board on the console. Does this matter on the 360 or am I thinking of a different vintage?
hi, can i mount my hdd of my xbox 360 250gb on another xbox 360 of 4gb? do you need to make changes via pc? or does it turn on and work normally? I mean after replacing hard drives?
Hey I have this same hard drive and I've had it for a while and now all the sudden my Xbox doesn't want to read it. There is an Xbox live update and every time I try to download it, it tells me I don't have enough storage. I have way over 150 Gigabytes left on it and that's a lot. Do you know why my Xbox won't read it?
@@TechHarvest I say that i want a hdd because I want to save my games in case i have a rrod, If my games are saved on a hdd , i have all of my saves in the Xbox that I put my hdd? And how can I see If my Xbox is well ventilated?
Glad you put this video up. My 360 is white and did not come with hard-drive when bought 12 years ago or so. Never been online. May not even be worth it. Good luck thanks.
Thank you my man, just ordered 500gb wasn't sure how to put in after hot 4gb model. Your model is a slim as the hardrive you have wouldn't work with the original arcade model. Not sure if you mispoke
All right I'm having an issue with my I'm trying to reformat the hard drive but I just found out there's no hard drive on the thing that you remove the door. So apparently is an internal hard drive right? Well the thing is that I'm trying to reformat die hard drive and it says no storage devices found I've been unable to reform at the hard drive since ever. I also let me point out I've been using this Xbox 360 like that since I remembered that I got it I've been able to save my games save achievements and all that... But now that I'm trying to reformat the hard drive apparently there's no hard drive in it
Found a tossed out Xbox 360 S to-day! Opened the HDD bay cover, & no HDD! You have to have the caddy (special holder) in order to mount / install an HDD? Thank you 🤓
I ordered apparently the external hard drive and it doeant fit with my xbox 360 slim. I didnt realize it was slim. There is no hard drive n my xbox currently. That's how it was purchased and I was aware of that. Somebody sent me what I needed to get but it is not correct. This slim 360 is the one I have the same one. When I went to look for the pieces all I can find with the wording is case proof something similar to that. No.hard drive included. What do I need to get so I can play this
How much memory will that hold my son has leg o dimensions started on we go but more level picks and characters but his xbo x 360 ms s won't let us download the rest the characters his is straight like when I buy it from the store so no extra gizmos and gagets he has autisu m Nd has these routines this is one I would like to know so if you will get back to me thank you
I want to buy a inexpensive Xbox 360 from ebay that contains no Hard Drive (aka those guys with a lot of R2D2 Xbox 360 slim ones) as a spare console in case my current one breaks. Can I easily swap my current HDD from my current Xbox Slim to the R2D2 one and everything will work immediately?
The second Xbox I bought In 2014 is just now having issues but due to me owning 3 ps4's since then I've accumulated plenty of storage to pop in my Netflix machine

Wth mine is just gone I have no idea. How I I could have lost it
No way for mine to
@@theholyknight2581 i figured out that you just need to plug in a usb to it and use it as a hard drive
mine didn't have one aswell
same lol
Thanks so much!! It may be easy, but if you are completely new to it and have no idea to look, this video is extremely helpful. Thanks again!!

thank you so much I recently broke my xbox and I didn't want to lose everything and you really helped me
Do you need a transfer cable to get data from another hard drive to the new one?
Thanks for the video dude.

Thanks man super helpful👌

I wanted to make sure I wasnt going to mess this up. In Taiwan now, and finding everything Xbox 360 is difficult. so thank you
Thank you so much for this I would never would have figured it out on my own
Great job- thanks for the time saver!
Thank you! I couldn't find the hard drive slot.
I remember the times I fixer these things that the hard drive had to match the main board on the console. Does this matter on the 360 or am I thinking of a different vintage?
hi, can i mount my hdd of my xbox 360 250gb on another xbox 360 of 4gb? do you need to make changes via pc? or does it turn on and work normally? I mean after replacing hard drives?
Can you put traditional storage in there? Like a normal SSD to get higher capacity?
I don't see how people dislike this kind of videos
gull kidd because they can’t afford a hard drive
hahaha
That's because the title is 'replace' not 'add'
not the right kind of 360 for me... can see why people would neg
Thank you very helpful 👍
and here I was wondering if I rip it apart... thx for the help man

thanks for your video

How do I back up the contents of my old 250? I ordered a 500 since the 250 is starting to fail.
thanks helped alot
A 500GB Solid state drive is a suggestion I do, lad.
Yes, SSD's are dropping in price so it's definitely a great option.
Does that version of the Xbox360 come with a hard drive normally?
Nice video! On point! Subbed and liked
Same here
Just liked
One of my imp Gmail so cannot sub in this
do u need to put a case on the hard drive to use it????
You helped me a lot! I want a hdd because I'm afraid of Red ring of death, do you think that a hdd could help me?
A HDD will make your games run smoother. Heat is the thing that causes the RRoD. Make sure your 360 is well ventilated.
@@TechHarvest I say that i want a hdd because I want to save my games in case i have a rrod, If my games are saved on a hdd , i have all of my saves in the Xbox that I put my hdd? And how can I see If my Xbox is well ventilated?

Can I put my 360 hard drive in my Xbox one to transfer all my data?
What if you had stuff in da hard drive but you replace it with another hard drive that has stuff? What happens to your stuff in both hard drives?
Exotic Gaming both hard drives will keep the data when installed/uninstalled if data is not wanted then reset the hard drive
Thanks man!!
what is the type of hard ? in the xbox 360 hdd or ssd ??
Thank you this video helped me alot
I'm glad I could help :)
Thank you my man, just ordered 500gb wasn't sure how to put in after hot 4gb model. Your model is a slim as the hardrive you have wouldn't work with the original arcade model. Not sure if you mispoke
Yes, you need this form factor for this HDD to work. The original Xbox 360 had a different HDD caddy.
Thanks this really helped me

Is there a 3D printed wheel I can get for a standard laptop hard drive?
I'm pretty sure that you can get an empty shell and put a laptop SSD or HDD in it but I've never tried it.
Is this the xbox 360 slim ? Thank you
Found a tossed out Xbox 360 S to-day! Opened the HDD bay cover, & no HDD! You have to have the caddy (special holder) in order to mount / install an HDD? Thank you 🤓
no you don't you can just show a 2.5 inch hard drive in and pad it with something so it doesn't break the connector
@@shawns_Lego sounds like a good working idea! Thank you 🤓
