Black 250GB 250 GB Hard Drive Disk HDD for Xbox 360 SLIM Review

Customer Ratings:

Received my 250GB hard drive yesterday, it took about 30 seconds to install. and works great so far! I would like to note that amazon suggests buying the xbox360 transfer kit with this item. Which is NOT needed. You just have to go to the storage section on your xbox Dashboard and transfer your saved items from internal memory to your new Hard drive. I had 3.1GB of data to transfer and it only took about 5 minutes.

Also, in some cases you may not be able to use some of your DLC, all you have to do to fix this is go into your account page on the Xbox Dashboard and go to the "Transfer Licenses" option, then transfer the licenses from your INTERNAL MEMORY to your HARD DRIVE. I haven't had to do this yet, but it was brought to my attention that it may happen.

This product works in Xbox360 Slims ONLY. not the old models.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention that even though it says that this hard drive is 250GB, You really only have about 228GB of space to use. This is the case with most Hard drives. 228GB should still be plenty of space for most people.

Example: Installing Forza Motorsport 4 (disc 1) to my Hard drive took up 7.6GB of space (This took about 10 mins). Skyrim took up 3.8GB of space (less than 5 mins).

This is not the original xbox 360 Hard drive but it works exactly the same way. I've had it for many months now and so far no problems. Very satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend for anyone that wants to save some money.

So I was a bit skeptical about this hard drive. I took a chance, good thing I did since my 4GB Xbox 360 S from Walmart did not contain a hard drive. I installed it and to my surprise it worked. It fit really tight and caused some slight cosmetic damage to the drive upon insertion and removal. I had to apply ample amounts of pressure to install and uninstall the drive. Upon removal there was several scratches on the drive and pieces of plastic shaved off of the drive due to the tight fit. I removed any excess material and blew out the hard drive slot and it worked fine. A little scary when it did not want to fit, but it is working fine.

ProsMuch cheaper than the MS version and it works.

ConsThis hard drive fit a little tight. I had to apply a good amount of force to install it and even more to remove it. Upon removal there was scrapes on the drive due to the hard fit. I took and removed any loose plastic that was damaged and reinstalled it.

I bought this Hard Drive about a month ago, but it is starting to act up. My xbox loads a little slower, and I've gotten the Red Dot once in a while, but it hasn't flat out crashed. I recently bought an xbox original game online, and found out the hard way that this was not a Microsoft certified hard drive. If you don't intend to play any xbox original games, then go ahead and buy this for the price, but it sucks when you can't play classics such as Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront, or Halo. I'm going to return this before it completely crashes and just buy the actual Microsoft Hard Drive.
