when I install this new hard drive in a 4gb slim, will my kid lose all the progress from previous games?

He shouldn't because those files are saved onto the internal 4gb hard drive. Once you insert the new hard drive its a good idea to move all those files over. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

He shouldn't lose any progress, because the memory will have been saved on the console itself.

Nope, you can transfer all of the data on the Xbox to the hard drive once you insert it
1412893
Nope! You'll actually have the option of transferring all your game data from the Xbox storage to the new HDD. But even if you choose not to, none of your progress or achievements are erased.

As I recall, the 4 gig slim's flash memory doesn't keep the temporary files from Halo games, and you can't store much on it. But anything saved to the flash memory will still be there and can be copied or moved to the hard drive as well. And any achievements are saved to Xbox Live's servers, so you even have them if you log in on a different Xbox.

I have had this for about 4 and never had an issue years i think and never had an issue with single game. I would say i have played a good 30 games on that hard drive with no issue.

Yes. From what I heard, the only thing this hard drive will not do is play original Xbox games but I can't personally verifiy that.

I've had the 500gb in my PS3 slim for 3 days and haven't noticed any speed up in boot up time which has always been 21-22 seconds from start up to entering the xmb...And i haven't noticed anything like my pictures or game demo's pop up any faster.

Sure. Most games use the hard disk. I know some required the disk to make sure you owned the game.

Yes, I have all my documents saved by default to the f:drive, and primary games and programs on the c:drive(SSD). instructions explain it very well.
1989977
Yes! As long as you can unscrew the Harddrive that is currently in your ps3. I dropped a 500gb in fat ps3 I have but then bought a ps4 :( wasting money lolDon't forget to get your games off for the new drive. I recommend a 32gb flash drive!

I have never had an issue with the game requiring storage on my internal HDD. Just like Tom said, I could see it possibly being an issue if you were near or close to capacity, but I only have about 4 gigs left on mine, and I've never had an issue. Hope that helps.

4GB is plenty for game saves, however, some games require a hard-drive to use certain features or sometimes even to function at all. The 4GB storage does not function the same as a hard drive. It is like a built in memory card/flash drive. Games that require a hard drive to run will say so on the box. Games that only need the hard drive for certain game modes (like "Halo Reach" requires a hard drive for Firefight or Online Co-op) will not say so on the box I believe. This is something to keep in mind.

.Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no. You think like me. I planned to do that myself but the data on the external has to be downloaded to the PS3 in order to work. I bought a 1T hard drive to replace the 250GB that I had and love it. I believe it was under $100 and extremely easy to do. Currently, I have 54 games and well over300 hours of video not to mention music and photos and still have 470GB free for future downloads. I back things up on the external to be safe but am happy with it. Of course it comes with a price to do that but considering the cost of downloads, it pays for itself. .Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no.

This drive is bigger and I have not had problems in the PS 4. I put it in as soon as I got the PS 4. With the size of the games the extra space is handy. This is the largest drive that currently fits in the PS 4.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

You can play 4 or 5 if you save the games to the hard drive, but you do not have to save the game to the hard drive so u can play as many as you want right off the disc. Most of the game datas of any game would be likely to take up a minimum of 50% of the space on a hard drive disk if you saved. My suggestion is buy an 320gb external xbox hard drive if you are a heavy gamer or plays around 4 times a week for a hour.

Hunter I do not have a Xbox 360 Slim so I cannot say for sure, but a quick search came up with this...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130423162256AABZtjGSo I am guessing it probably would work just fine, although that Xbox owner say it will only use 32GB of the drive.Hope this helps,Ken

Yes.if you transfer save game data to it then transfer it back it will work,but you will require the same profile.even if it's a different hard disc as long as it has the same profile.

My son also has that Xbox and I had to buy him an extra hard drive for him to be able to play this game

I've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.
