    Default External Hard-drive

    herro again

    I'm going to buy a 1TB external hard-drive for £50 and was wondering if there is an adapter so that I can connect it to my PC and also my xbox.

    So if I wanted to download something for my xbox, I could just move it into the hard-drive, then get it out again via the xbox.

    all help will be rewarded

    Yes I know they have USB ports lol.

    I'm wondering if I can stick it in the Xbox and PC at the same time, cause I think this drive only has one USB slot, So I'm gonna need an adapter of some sort.

    Wait, you want to plug your external hard drive into both your Xbox and computer at the same time?

    You'll need a USB Bridge to do this.

    Although some companies make a double ended male USB with the micro USB to go in the external drive itself.

    The advice from the actual licensees of the the USB is to get a USB Bridge, and I couldn't find any USB "Splitters" so it'll be USB Bridge you'd need.
