An external USB will only be upto 16Gb regardless of how big the USB stick is. This is also the same for external HDD devices.

The only device that will function properly is:

a) A proper HDD from MS
b) an adapted HDD from another 360 (videos on how to dismantle them are on Youtube)

It's worth noting that some games will give you problems (eg Halo Reach) when using a 4Gb slim as the 4Gb is not classed as a HDD on the console.

You can use any xbox official hard drive the caddy is not needed. Just remove the drive from the xbox 360 caddy and slot into the drive bay on the slim..

It will but you are paying a lot for 16GB...

Changed my mind will just spend the extra 50 and get the 250gb model


Thanks all

Umm, I don't think so - that will still be seen by the Xbox as MU (Memory Unit) and not HDD.
