Posting on his blog, Xbox Live’s Larry Hryb said that the company has been testing the feature for a few weeks and that he thinks it’s is “great.” A system updating hitting April 6 will allow us all to see just how great it is.

The update will support flash drives that are 1 GB to to 16 GB in size. While USB hard drives “may work”, he adds, you will still only be able to use 16 GB of the drives space, which kinda sucks.

The update will allow you to have two USB drives connected at the same time, meaning up to 32 GB of space.

Microsoft is partnering with SanDisk and plans to release an XBox branded USB flash drive in May.
