Is There A New List Of Usb Flash Drives That Work? Options

[ZippoYaris]

I am trying to softmod my Xbox. I have the USB port installed on the Xbox but now I need a USB stick for the softmod. I tried my old 512MB Kingston Data Traveler 2.0 and it doesn't work. I also tried a newer pair of 8GB Dane Elec sticks...one just had green light flash and the other popped up on the Xbox as device not recognized and could be damaged.

So my question is what USB stick should I buy and where? I don't want to try 8000 different ones and spend a fortune on a collection of useless USB sticks..lol.

I hope my question is in the correct area of the forum...if not can someone tell me where to post?

Thanks. I am brand new to this site and Xbox modding. It is becoming a new addiction. Hehehe.

For a newbie here I don't feel like hotswapping....that just sounds like a death waiting to happen with my Xbox.lol

How is hotswapping easier? I already added the USB port to my Xbox so I figured the Memory stick would work best along with Splinter Cell. Like I said I am new to it all and looked at many options. To me seeing the videos using Splinter Cell seems way easier than hot swapping a HDD.

Your 8GB USB sticks will never work - the Xbox only supports USB sticks 4GB or smaller.

There's a recent thread over on XBMC4Xbox discussing compatible USB sticks.

Heimdall thanks for the info, I kinda figured the 8GB were never going to work. I just have to find a small one now. I have a Kingston that doesn't work so the list will be helpful. I will check the other thread.

Thanks for the help, this place is great!
