A transfer cable comes with it and as mentioned your own drives can be put into the caddy and they work fine - it has to be a specific model of WD Scorpio and can only be the size of officially released hard drives.Originally Posted by watercooled

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Either way if you have the issue wait for the next major dash update for USB device support for saves etc.
I think the HDD's firmware has to be modified before it will work doesn't it?
They're really going to do that? Any idea when the next update is planned?
Screenshots suggest so

The update will arrive the same time it always arrives, Autumn (Like the NXE)

Major updates aren't usually in spring, the fixes for bugs found after the Autumn release is in Spring usually
I wonder if a USB drive would be fast enough to install games on though?
You are limited to 32gb across 2 drives
use a 20gb/60 hdd for the game install and the usb for the save
I doubt it will let you install to USB, you will have a game image on a removable device!
Yeah good point. Game installs use barely any room on a HDD so it's not like you would save much space by putting them on a flash drive instead. Also I wonder if you will actually be allowed to copy (back up) saves with this update; ATM you're only allowed to move saves from one device to another. Why don't MS just explicitly allow people to upgrade the HDD themselves by simply swapping it out like you can do with the PS3?

Sorry folks, the article has been updated once again. Here's the latest info:
[Update 2] Seems Microsoft can't make up its mind. Community manager Graeme Boyd has now retracted his previous statement, adding that he "got the UK pricing for the 250GB hard drive wrong". Turns out it will be priced at £79.99, and not the £64.99 you were hoping for.
Doesn't surprise me really - complete rip-off as usual...

Looks like it's dropping with the spring dash update fix
custom partitions as expected though
Demos too eh? The 16GB limit is a bit of a pain but then the original HDD only offers about 13GB of usable storage.allow USB flash drives to be used for storing profiles, game saves, demos and more
Edit: Hang on how does he have a ~300GB HDD? http://www.flickr.com/photos/majorne...7623576662307/
