Can I use an external hard drive with my Xbox?

I am ordering a Seagate Backup Plus 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive, (compatible with PC and Mac) from Staples. If I plug it into the USB input on my Xbox 360, (newest edition, 4GB) will I be able to select it as a storage device to save downloaded games to?

Answer
I know for sure that you can use a USB drive. You might as well try it out. There's nothing holding you back. Plug it in and see if it pops up when it asks you to pick which storage to get your saved games from.

How can I use a new Western Digital portable external drive (Element or Passport) for both Windows and Mac?

I need to use and store data from both PC as well as Mac and hence don't want to buy an only-Mac version of a hard drive. I want a portable (around 500 gb) harddrive that is compatible with both systems. Which one would you recommend?Also is WD Elements or Passport preferable in this scenario? Thanks!

Answer
You can use any hard drive as long as it has USB or FireWire (or eSATA if you're cool like that). Just format it is FAT32 (max file size of 4 GB) or NTFS.
