    I've done some search and all says that I can connect as much USB as I can as long as I have available ports...I have 2 hard drives and a USB that I'm trying to connect to my console, just these 3 only, not trying to be greedy..but my xbox can only detect 2 of the 3 at a time, all ports and drives are working, the only problem i have is it only detects 2 at a time....xbox memory (memory set when configuring usb) didn't exceed 32 gb as well...

    Erm...still can't...all of them functions but Xbox just wont detect three at once, I tried switch ports and even switched drives (I have an extra USB) All works on both PC and console, just cant more than 2 at the same time...I'm attempting to use a USB hub right now to see if it works, wish me luck :D

    1. 1032GB
    2. 540GB

    1. Okay so I have two 500GB hard drives, one is a regular FAT32 hard drive, the other one is a "hybrid" (465GB of regular FAT32 space with another 10GB being detected as Xbox USB) and a 32GB USB (not yet configured-formatted to FAT32).

    2. I've also tried replacing the hybrid with another FAT32 8GB USB (which makes it a 500GB hard drive, 32GB USB and a 8GB USB) but the result remains unchanged.

    I'm beginning to think that it was the guy sold me the console did this but he's like across the sea from my land...If anyone decides to ask if there's any problem with my ports and drives, no, all are working fine, the only problem is can't 3 devices at a time, the console just randomly picks 2 out of 3. Thanks for the help, I'll this posted if I find away ;)

    Don't hold me to this but i think xbox can only run 2tb max. I have seen some people get 3tb but i myself could only run 2tb max on RGH/Jtag console.

    Also im not to sure what the max USB's you can have at one time on the console.

    It's ok...I've been saving money and I think I'll buy a 1TB hard drive tomorrow and transfer my stuff to it while stripping down my 500GB hard drive to be installed as an internal hdd ^_^ ^_^

    360 will only support a total of 2TB, nothing more, this is why you cannot see all of your drives. Best option would be a 2TB internal drive!

    You cant put 3 usb or HDD in Console because its only can work with 2 USB.. and its cant handle 3 input power and its only read 2 USB at one time.
