(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I recently just purchased a xbox 360 slim 4gb and i was wondering if you have to buy the xbox hard drives or can you buy other brands that would be cheaper?

You could use a x360usb pro to do HDD hack and be able to use SD memory cards for storage.

There are only 2 options other than buying a M$ HDD!
1) you could buy a Western Digital Blue Scorpio↓ (But u need to flash it to the xbox format. [NOT HARD])
- WD Scorpio Series BEVS/BEAS
- WD Scorpio Blue Series BEVS/BEVT/BPVT
- WD Scorpio Black Series BEKT/BJKT
- WD VelociRaptor Series
- WD AV-25 Series BUDT
2) buy at bunch of 16gb USBs

I just took my original 360's hardrive, removed the screws and took out the actual memory stick. The memory stick(idk what to call it) actually connects perfectly with the Slim model. I put a piece of tape over the end to keep the 'memory stick' from moving to much. Hope this helps and saves you money!

buy a 250gb off of ebay for about 40-50 USD lol

I got a old 360 HDD, took it apart then plugged it in. Simple
