    yep as long as your xbox can format it, you can plug it up via usb adapter for your xbox and it will be listed as J: assuming you havent added a flash drive or anything, you will have to format it using the xbox console though

    Nice way to get a big memory card. That's why it hasn't been talked about much. Most people just use a usb stick.

    If I installed a USB port on my modded xbox, could I just plug in like a Jump Drive, and use it to transfer files from other computers, or Xbox's. Also, could I just install this to my system, instead of doing a DIY USB connection.

    Yes, I have the Xecuter 3 CE chip installed.

    well i was thinking along the lines of needing more room for games. in that case, can you use symbolic links with xbmc?

    ah yes, technically i should be able to leave it unlocked since it is just storage right?
