Can this hard drive recognize original xbox games, most aftermarket HDD's don't

No it can't out of the box. I was able to mod mine so that it will. There are some YouTube videos on how to make a 360 backwards compatible. If you're good with computers it's not hard.You need a SATA-to-USB cable (such as the Xbox transfer cable but MAKE SURE it's for the slim as the other one won't fit) to hook it up to your computer. You download a program called "Xplorer 360" that can read and write to the HDD, and you download the partition that allows for playing original Xbox games, then you use that .bin file to run a restore on partition 2.After I did that, I popped the HDD back in and it plays Halo 2. Before it gave me the error message. No it can't out of the box. I was able to mod mine so that it will. There are some YouTube videos on how to make a 360 backwards compatible.

So, if my son is trying to play something like Destiny, an original game, this won't work? He has the 360e.

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

It worked AWESOME on my 360. It works with all the 360 games I have. The original title games are the original Xbox games. It will work with original title games but you have to look it up Google "Xbox 360 Partition 2". This hdd ROCKS right out of the box! Buy it, store it, play it, love it.

I bought this one here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-320G-Hard-Drive-Microsoft/dp/B00B0QONB0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1417195335&sr=8-16&keywords=xbox+hard+drive, but today I'd get this bigger one that is now available: http://www.amazon.com/500GB-Hard-Drive-Internal-Black/dp/B00JJIJNB6/ref=pd_cp_pc_3. Mine installed easily and automatically, and works fine. Any hexagonal drive designed for the Xbox will work, and any that are supposed to be for the Slim (like mine) will work perfectly on the 360E.

It's not made by Microsoft so it's not an official xBox product but it works exactly the same for half the price. It goes right int he bottom of a xbox 360 slim as a OEM harddrive would the same.

This device will not play original Xbox games. In order to make an Xbox console backwards compatible you actually have to purchase an Xbox formatted hard drive. The difference between the two is software to make the older Xbox games compatil with the newer consoles.

Yes, you can connect this to your Xbox One. In fact, I bought this particular drive just for my Xbox One. By the way, the Xbox Console will ask you if you want to make this as your default storage drive or not. In addition, you can move your files in the internal HDD to the external one or have copies of your games on both the external and internal drive.

You need to return it. It's not a Microsoft HDD and sometimes the xbox wont reconize non-Microsoft branded products. Return and have them send you a replacement

I just had this happen to me. I lost 8 years of game saves. I found out its the hard drive itself. The 360 telling you its unformatted is its way of saying "something is wrong in that peice of junk you bought." It often happens when you download an update, and the increased activity is when the thing gives out. What's worse, is since it wasn't a Microsoft brand, its impossible to use all the tips and tricks recommended on youtube and other sites to rescue your information. I keep hearing about fat x explorer but I don't exactly trust it.

Some games are reverse compatible with a hard drive. Not all original Xbox games are. If the hdd works then yes you should be able to but I would buy it at a game stop location to be on the safe side that way if it does not you can still return it fairly easily.

I dont own a xbox so not sure but they work perfect with pc game backups but depending on the size of the game. like if the game is over 4gb you should use a double layer disc from verbatim they work so good but are a little pricy

It will not work on any 360.. It's a crappy generic HDD & shouldn't even be on amazon. DO NOT BUY IT. You should just pay extra for a Microsoft brand.

I got it for new battlefield as it needed hard drive (I have Xbox 360 with 4gigs). Worked good, it extends your memory so I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work with original games

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

If its the one from haussbell, no. You have to buy the $60 from the Microsoft seller for it to work with original Xbox games. Anything but the specific Microsoft brand will not play original Xbox games.

This works on any slim 360, has worked fine for me. Unfortunately I read reviews and it says it won't play original Xbox games from the market place, I don't own any so I am yet to test this theory.
