Xbox 360 Save Storage: No Memory Card Needed—Uses Internal HDD, USB & Cloud

No memory card required. Xbox 360 saves games to:

• Internal Hard Drive: 20GB / 60GB / 120GB / 250GB / 320GB / 500GB (model dependent). Primary save location.
• USB Flash Drive (Formatted): Settings → System → Storage → USB Storage Device → **Configure Now**. Max 32GB per drive (2 max = 64GB). FAT32, allocation unit 32KB.
• Cloud Saves (Xbox Live Gold Required): Settings → System → Storage → Cloud Saved Games. Auto-uploads on exit. 512MB limit.
• Memory Unit (Legacy): 512MB / 256MB / 64MB cards for **original Xbox** saves only. Not used for 360 games.

Managing Storage

1. Settings → System → Storage.
2. Select device (HDD / USB / Cloud).
3. Games & Apps → Select game → **Move / Copy / Delete** saves.
4. **Profile** stored separately — contains achievements, settings, avatar.

Common Issues

• "Storage Device Removed": USB drive loose / corrupted. Reformat.
• Cloud Sync Conflict: "Conflict detected" → choose "Use Cloud" or "Use Local".
• HDD Failure: Clicking noise, slow loads, E68 error. Replace with 2.5" SATA (any brand) + caddy.

Note: Xbox 360 **does not** use standard memory cards (SD, CF, MS). The "Memory Unit" slots (front) are for original Xbox accessories only.
