Xbox 360 Hard Drive Specifications

Since the original release of the Xbox 360 in 2005, different tiers of models have been produced. The original two tiers were Xbox 360 Core and Xbox 360 Pro. The newest model tiers, as of 2010, are called Xbox 360 Arcade and Xbox 360 Super Elite.

Original Xbox 360 Hard Drive
- The original Xbox 360 launched with a 20 gigabyte hard drive. Initially, the drive was used for storing downloadable demos and content, as well as for saving game files. When Microsoft announced the ability to "install" games from disc to the hard drive, they released higher capacity hard drives. These hard drives were detachable from the console for ease of transportation between other consoles.
Current Xbox 360's Hard Drive
- The new, slimmer Xbox 360, released in early 2010, comes with an internal 250 GB hard drive. Although it is not detachable, it has substantially more storage space than the original hard drive for storing information such as TV shows, movies, games, pictures and game add-ons.
Hard Drive Upgrades
- Older Xbox 360 models have detachable hard drives. Purchasable upgrades for the hard drives came in 20 GB, 120 GB and 250 GB sizes.
