Have you a external Hard disk on your 360?>>

Quick question,

When the 360 is off there is still power to the usb ports, my laptop HD that i have at the moment stays powered up and spinning.

What i want is a external 3.5" HD but it must turn itself off with the 360.

So the question is have you got one and does it turn itslef off, if so what model is it?

Thanking you in advance

Jonny

I dont think it can read ntfs matey, although it doesnt need to read yours to test if it swithces itself off, give it a try

I assume it's probably the play and charge kit's fault.

Yay it is mate :confused:

A option in the dash would be nice to turn it off cos i dont use play and charge.

Its a pain in the backside to pull the cable out everytime i want to power the drive down....

......waits for smeone say i'm idle....

This is what I have got, the WD My Book 250GB.

Formatted as Fat32, there is a tool on the net you can download to format in Fat32 & keep the whole size rather than 32GB.

Holds my whole music collection Connected via USB to the 360, & that runs through to my amp

Turns on & off with the 360 automatically.

Highly recommend

You sir are a star.

I was going to get that drive from OcUK anyway! lucky.

Can you point me to that tool?

Thank you

NO, but you can fill it with mp3, jpeg & WMV videos to play on the 360.

Save games and arcade etc will only go on the 20GB microshaft HD, but all you media will be fine on your 360, it will also read thumb drives, card readers etc, there is even an ipod plugin.
