Xbox 360 Update Adds Support for 2TB Hard Drives

The next update for Xbox 360 Preview Program members will add support for 2TB hard drives, Microsoft has announced. 

This means reserve space will no longer be needed on the console's hard drive and can be used to store data for the system. 

“In addition we will also no longer reserve space in advance on your hard drive,” Microsoft said. “If you are using 16GB of hard drive space for games – we will only take 16GB of space. And just like today – you will be able to use two external drives at a time.”

Some drives may not be compatible with the console or suffer performance issues and space which may have already been reserved for storing Xbox 360 data will need to be deleted to “gain full access to the drive.”

Support for 2TB hard drives will be rolled out to everyone later this year.
