Warning: Does not work with new system update,

Microsoft has announced that the new system update, scheduled to go live in November 2009, will disable all unauthorized memory units. This will be completely useless then, and even worse, any save data or profiles copied to it will be totally inaccessible. Microsoft's memory prices for the 360 are completely ludicrous, but unfortunately, now there's no other option.

If you plan or have the October 2009 Dashboard Update, don't buy this product because it no longer works. Microsoft has disabled its use supposed to keep out hackers and cheaters. Too bad for the rest of us that just wanted bigger and cheaper storage options.
I have one and loved it until it stopped working without warning. I will read the blogs next time before updating my xbox.

I just learned of this news today. I wondered why my games stopped prompting me to choose a storage device, as it always did prior to the update. This really sucks!
First thing I thought of is that it would probably only take a firmware update from Datel to remedy this. It seems they are currently working on an update. Screw you Microsoft! Make your accessories more comparable to these third party options and you wouldn't have this problem.
UPDATE 12-4-09
Datel Informed me to mail in my max memory card and they will mail it back to me when they fix this problem. They have been very responsive through email. they are aware of the problem and are working on a hardware fix. (Sorry, no user-end firmware fix, i asked them) I encourage you to contact Datel through email. they allowed me to send mine in to them without a receipt.
