Ad not clear/sent back

This model's hard drive does not match the Xbox 2007/2008 series and is not listed on this website and was charged a $43.00 restocking fee on return. Zero stars for the seller!

Pros
  • Shipping was very fast
Cons
  • Updates

Buying an official hard drive is the only way out.

Buy an official hard drive if you intend to use backward compatible games on your 360. I ordered a non-genuine brand instead and found I can't play backward compatible games.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Works great on Xbox systems

This works exactly as it should for our Xbox 360 Slim. While these are much cheaper hard drive options, I felt better about buying an "official" Xbox hard drive and I'm glad I did. This will give us more storage space for games, allowing us to play more games. I'm happy, but my children are very happy!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • disappears

Perfect for 360 Slim

This was a simple plug and play scenario. I bought this for my son's device which only came with an internal 4 gigabyte drive. Once plugged into the bay, it worked great (as of Christmas 2019). Now my kids can play games that used to take up extra space.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No car

Drive works but paid new price for a used product

Drive appears to be fully working and is very nice, I'm just concerned that I'm paying the new price for something Paid for new product instead I should get something resealed to make it look like new and it has actually been used. I could save a lot of money if I knew it was like this

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model

Fits Original Xbox Games

I was very skeptical. I have viewed this product many times without purchasing due to the bad reviews and price. I finally bought a hard drive a few weeks ago. IT IS EXCELLENT. Worked just as described. Came in the same original packaging. Was absolutely able to play original Xbox games! Excellent purchase.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Repair

Good hard drive suitable for accessories

I found the 360 E at a thrift store with no cables and no hard drive for $20. So I bought a power supply, HDMI, controller for less than $100. The hard drive was harder to find. This was the most expensive part of the process as I needed an official Microsoft hard drive. $119 is very expensive for 500GB, but it's no longer made and is the most reliable model. So far my 360 works fine and saves a lot of my games. It may have cost $240, but it was worth it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some flaws

It works and is very easy to install!

I wanted to play an original Xbox game on my Xbox 360 S, but I couldn't because I didn't have a hard drive. into the console I was able to play this original Xbox game. Inserting the hard drive was very easy. All you have to do is look at the right side of the console (on the back). The side in question looks like a lattice, and it should be the latch that opens the secret door. Then slide the hard drive into the hidden compartment and voila. It is very beginner-friendly and requires no priorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties

First of all this is not a new product - which would have been nice if it was in good condition and working - the box was really broken and glued together. When I installed to the drive (as instructed) the Xbox displayed an error message stating that the hard drive was corrupted/failed. I've tried reinstalling it 5 times and went through multiple troubleshooting guides to resolve the issue. Everything pointed to the same conclusion, I was sent a broken/faulty drive that was worth nothing; and I

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Empty
