Finding an Xbox 360 Hard Drive in 2024

Where to Buy an Xbox 360 Hard Drive Now

New official drives are no longer manufactured (Xbox 360 discontinued 2016). Options:

Used / Refurbished Sources

• GameStop / Local Retro Shops: Often have 20/60/120/250/320/500 GB pulls—tested, short warranty.
• eBay / Mercari / Facebook Marketplace: Wide range; verify seller rating, photos of label (model #), return policy.
• Amazon (Third-Party): Some sellers offer refurbs—check reviews.
• Repair Shops: May have pulls from dead consoles.

Compatibility Checklist

• Fat 360 (Original): Uses proprietary SATA drive in side caddy (20–500 GB official).
• Slim (S) / E: Uses internal 2.5" SATA in bottom bay (250/320/500 GB official). Not interchangeable with Fat.
• Third-Party Caddies: Allow standard 2.5" SATA SSDs/HDDs in Fat 360—cheaper, larger capacity.

Alternatives

• USB Flash Drive (Up to 2 TB): Format as Xbox storage (Settings → System → Storage). Works for games, saves, DLC. Slower than HDD.
• Internal Upgrade (Slim/E): Any 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD (9.5 mm) + OSU1 update via USB.

USB drive is easiest/cheapest for extra space today.
