In most cases yes. Depends on the type of external hard rive you have and how it is formatted. Generally if you have an external hard drive that does not require external power then your xbox will recognize it. If your xbox doesnt recognize it you may have to reformat your external hard drive. Watch out if you reformat it tho because you will loose all your data. Make sure you back it up elsewhere first. Also Xbox 360 will only play .avi files with relatively new codec so if you are looking to play .mkv or .mp4 than i would suggest buying an Asus O!Play R1. This is what i did and i love it, it runs very similar to an apple tv. Also an option is to get Netflix for your 360.
