Can I use a USB hub to plug in a lot of USB drives with profile and save game data in the Xbox 360?

Solution 1:

I use a generic hub and it works.

Also note the new Xbox 360 has 6 ports, over the old one's three.

Solution 2:

Just a note, but be careful when using larger drives or too many devices with your 360 unless you're using the latest one. I had a 2Tb USB drive connected that contained movies and profiles, etc; however it has to scan all the devices when the 360 turns on or when they are plugged in, and I found that overall performance on the 360 dropped tremendously with the 2Tb drive. I plugged in smaller drives and it was no problem. Just FYI.

Solution 3:

I just bought a four-port USB hub on Amazon specifically stated to work with a 360, but the 360 refuses to recognize more than two USB storage devices, even if I have them all plugged into the hub at startup. It will work with controllers and other devises, but I believe Microsoft has programmed the 360 to only allow two USB storage devices because they want you to buy expensive official Microsoft Brand hard drives.

Solution 4:

Yes, you can use USB hubs. For example, this is the hub used for Rock Band.
