Microsoft’s Larry Nelson Hryb, the director of programming for Xbox Live, has confirmed that the company is going to introduce USB storage for its Xbox 360 on April 6.

The move will enable gamers to add 32GB of external memory via USB ports on the Xbox 360 consoles. However, to achieve this, gamers will have to attach two separate drives of 16GB each.

The development will allow Xbox 360 players to download, save and install games to third-party flash drives. It will also allow them to back-up their profiles, game saves, demos and the like.

The announcement marks the end of company’s external memory unit business.
