Microsoft sucks, they want you to buy their overpriced junk. I honestly dont get why they dont just let you use any USB stick like the PS3 does. No formating to microsofts made up file format required.
Of course i've tried reformatting it, no dice. The dumb xbox reformats it into its goofy FatEX or whatever its called format anyway when you set it up.
anyway i still dont have any actual model numbers. An old 1gb out of print stick doesn't really help, and saying a 'no name' 20 dollar stick gives me no info. What size? where did you get it? Im sure theres some brand on it. Anyone who has actually had their usb stick work WITHOUT the 'does not meet performance recomendation' message, please let me know the exact name, model number and size of the drive. im sick of getting those that dont work. this will be just for the 360. I have plenty of regular usb sticks now for other stuff
It sounds like FLywave's sugestino of a PNY might work. Maybe the speed is the issue for the error message, but it seems PNY doesn't publish its read/write speeds. The kingston is rather slow looking at the site now (10/5)

It's a dane-elec pod ones. 8GB and came with Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 pre loaded NEW FOR $20! was amazing.

Well every single USB, even external hard drive works with me so as long as its Fat32 formatted. Even unknown shitty dollar-store brand USBs work on mine. What model is your xbox 360?

@foh foh.. again, thats not the info neded. Kingston has a ton of diffeernt drives. WHat type of kingston drive? 101? 111? G3? G2? model number?, same question for the PNY, attatche? what?
@tomoya-kun Ive heard a lot of the ones that come with games seem to work fine. My friends using his forza motorsport one and that works too
@1212 by works do you mean it actually passes the performance test? Im aware that just about anything will 'work' But the ones i men tied that i tried gave me the performance warning, and in the case of the centon i actually lost data with it. I have tried this on my OLD original model non HDMI 360, and on the newer 120gb elite i got right before the slims came out. Care to elaborate on what 'every single USB' means? I.e. do you have an 8gb or 16gb model that specifically worked?
I actually emailed kingston and PNY but they cant confirm that their stuff will work. I send a follow up email to PNY to ask what their data speeds were

I have a sandisk 4gb that works perfectly. and again, they even sell some that are specifically for the xbox 360
fohfoh:
I believe the 2GB one was the "classic" datatraveler. The PNY one is a 4GB mini attache. This was like 2 years ago. So idk if some update changed anything.
