Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Badly Needed Storage.
You have no idea how fast you can fill up your storage space. Not even 120GB is enough space for the stuff you save or download. I already have well over 30GB used up and have had it for less than a month.

The only problem I have right now is that it seems a couple of my maps (The ones that or on the disk) for Call of Duty 2 seem to be corupted some how, after I tranferd every thing from the 20GB to the 120GB drive...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great option for 360 owners
I upgraded to an elite system, which comes with a 120Gig HD. I am now able to download endless demos, arcade games, transfer music, and not have to worry about running out of space. Definitely worth the purchase. It is a bit on the pricey side, but if you want/need the space, it is totally worth it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Easy upgrade from 20GB drive
I don't have the "black" one but I couldn't find the one I needed to write the review for. It's the same thing anyway - but mine is the one that is the same color as the original 20GB Xbox 360 drive.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think it is overpriced and should be offered by Microsoft at an "upgrade" price for people who had already purchased the 20GB drive.

Anyway, the drive comes with a kit (disc and USB cable) that allow you to easily transfer all your data from your old 20GB drive to the 120GB one. The transfer was easy and hassle-free. The entire process took less than 90 minutes. When I turned on the 360 afterwards with the new drive attached, everything booted up exactly as it had with the old 20GB drive. There was no further configuration or registration needed. All data had been preserved perfectly - downloaded demos, trailers, and other content, saved game data, music, etc. The new drive is even a little bit faster than the old one - although it's possible that my old one had gotten fragmented and that was slowing it down, so maybe it's really the same speed.

Anyway, this is nice. Now every time I want to download something I don't have to scrounge for some free hard drive space by deleting stuff I would really rather keep.

And a note to Microsoft - in case you are reading this - you should more clearly advertise that this drive comes with the data transfer kit. I have been considering buying this drive for months now, but was hesitating because I didn't think I would be able to transfer all my data from the old drive. At one point I even called the Xbox support line and specifically asked if there was a way to transfer the data over, and the lady I spoke to made no mention of the transfer kit. She told me that if I logged in and "recovered my gamer tag" that all my saved data would be restored. I brushed this off simply because that would have to mean that every bit of my 20GB of data has been sent over the internet to Microsoft's servers - and even if this had been the case, I would have probably had to leave my 360 turned on for a couple of weeks to wait while it all downloaded again.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's Worth It.
Bought It The Day It Was Released, I Love It. I Rent A Lot Of High Def Movies From The Marketplace And I Have A Large Quantity Of TV Shows So This HDD Is Really Nice To Have. You Only Have About 110GB After Formatting It. It's Worth The $170 Price Tag If You're Like Me And Had No Room Left On Your Old 20GB HDD.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must have item for Xbox 360 users
Price is a bit steep since I just got my Xbox 360 5 months ago but a must have item for me. The 13 GB of usable space on the original drive is too small to hold demos, clips and ripped CDs. I started ripping my CD collection to the Xbox 360 and quickly ran out of space. The Media jukebox is wonderful for playing my CDs over my sound system.

Installation was completed in less than 5 minutes and the transfer of the 20 GB took 1 hour, 19 minutes. I am currently downloading 7 GB of game demos I can play, as well as TV and movie clips. Tons of FREE content if you have the hard disk space.

I believe I can even transfer my home photos to it to use as a slideshow.

Super simple installation. Insert CD, pull out USB connections, plug transfer cable into new drive and other end in the rear USB. Push A. When finished, remove CD, turn off unit, remove USB cable, and change out new drive for old (2 seconds or so to pop out old and insert new). Turn on and enjoy.
