Hard Drive Question

Ok I know you can buy a external Hard Drive to plug into the USB port but I have heard of people buying internal Hard Drives (Internal are much cheaper than external) and getting them to work with the 360 does anyone on here know how to do that?

I think you can just grab an internal drive and slap it in an enclosure (that's what I do with my laptop) and then plug it into your XBox360.

USB enclosure cost around $20

Can you rename files using the 360? I haven't ever tried it ... I was wondering if it just gives you a copy/delete option, or if it actually allows you to rename files on the HD from within the 360's interface.

Have no idea I plan on buying a internal or external hard drive within the week also with a external or internal hard drive can you save games on there or what are you limited to saving on it?

Has anyone used a usb flash drive (the smaller ones, like 128meg -- not an actual usb HD) with the 360? I found an article that says it works, but it doesn't go into if it can be used as a 2nd storage device. I was wondering if that can be used to store games, files, etc. that the 360 can access.

I couldn't get it to see the flash drive as a media / storage device. I'ma have to raed more about it ... see if there is some wacky thing I'm not doing to get it to work.
