I need an external hard drive formatted to FAT 32 so I can watch movies through my Xbox 360 and for extra storage.

So if anyone knows of a particuler model with a FAT32 format please let me know what they are, thanks for the help.

Choose any drive you want. They will not come pre-formatted. You just have to select FAT32 when formatting it.

My western digital portable hard-drive came FAT32 formated, of course I had to re-format it using NTFS so I could fit my movies on it as they were all over 4GB in size.
