General Information

•The Xbox 360 comes with 3 standard USB 2.0 ports. (2 on the front and 1 on the back) 

Confirmed Facts

Can be used to add hard disk and get around DRM. SEE: http://llamma.com/xbox360/mods/USB Hard Drive Mod.htm 

Speculation

  • iPod and standard USB flashdrives using the FAT(32)? Filesystem are detected via the 360 media center.(Cannot read NTFS)
  • The Xbox 360 seems to be able to read the HFS filesystem Mac formatted iPods.
  • It is unknown if the USB ports can access DMA but it is speculated that the USB ports may be read-only. Such speculation is questionable, as two-way communication is required to be able to communicate with products. Instead, any read-only access control may be implemented in the Dashboard, or write support may simply not exist within the filesystem drivers. - This is most likely impossible - There are no "slave initiated DMA" transactions as part of the USB spec. Even if it does support USB OTG, and therefore can act as a Slave, a driver [on the xbox] would still need to be present for any usb endpoints to exist.
