In order to take full advantage of the faster speed this drive offers, you should "install" the Xbox game you want to play to the hard drive. At the main dashboard, after inserting your game disc, press the X button to bring up additional options. One of them should be to install the game. You will still need the disc in the drive in order to play, but after launching the game your Xbox will load most data directly from the hard drive instead of from the game disc. This is MUCH faster, and also quieter than the sometimes noisy DVD drives that Microsoft put in these consoles.
It came with no instructions, but installation was easy and pretty self-explanatory.
If you do not have existing data to transfer from a different drive, simply connect the new drive to your Xbox and turn it on.
If you are replacing an existing drive and want to transfer your gamer profiles, installed games, DLC, saved games, etc., the process is still simple:
1. Connect the new hard drive to the front USB port on your Xbox using an Xbox Hard Drive transfer cable (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Data-Transfer-Cable/dp/B003S9WJ9A/).
2. Power on your console. After booting you will get a prompt that a transfer cable has been detected. Follow the prompts to transfer your data to the new drive. ***Note: If you do not get the prompt automatically, try disconnecting and reconnecting the transfer cable with the console powered on.)
3. When transfer is complete, shut down your Xbox. Disconnect the transfer cable and remove the old hard drive from the Xbox. Connect the new hard drive to the Xbox and power it on.
4. The Xbox should automatically load up your default gamer profile. If any of your DLC doesn't work (sometimes the licensing doesn't transfer correctly) simply delete it and redownload it from the Xbox Live Marketplace. You should not be charged for it again as long as you are signed into the same account you used to purchase it.
The item shipped quickly and the shipping charges were reasonable. It's not quite as fast as the Amazon Prime shipping I've gotten used to, but worth waiting an extra day or two for this item. The packaging was appropriate and the item arrived in perfect condition. It looks just like a drive you would get from Microsoft.
Hope this helps!

Pros:-fast shipping (to be fair, it came from Indiana and I live in Illinois)
-well packaged (I am grateful for that)
-120 GBs of memory for under 50$ is definitely worth it
Cons:
-the package had a sticker on it saying I would have saved close to 10$ (was under) if I bought it from their site. well, I definitely would have done that if I knew that before...
-I paid a little extra to get the "fast speed 7200RPM" to make my downloads faster and so far, I do not see a difference. As I am typing this, I am trying to download the "terminal map" for Call of duty Modern warfare 3 and it has been going on for about 10+ minutes now (72%). I figured the 7200 RPM would reduce the time it takes to download just 1 single map, but I feel like it downloaded faster the first time I did it.
Overall:
It is 120GB memory for under 50$ and that is definitely a good deal. So I do recommend this product and the company selling it.

Everything came exactly as it said it would. Setup was easy and the transfer took only a few minutes from my old hard drive. The only down side was that it didn't have the full 120 GB but I kind of expected that. Going from a 13GB hard drive to a 106 GB with faster speed is still a huge step up and worth the money.Honest reviews on 120GB Hard Drive HDD for Xbox 360 - Fast Speed 7200RPM
