HWAYO 250GB 250G Internal HDD Hard Drive Disk Disc for XBox360 Slim Xbox360 E Games

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL HARD DRIVE! I say that first and foremost because I assume some people looking at this hard drive are wanting it not only for more 360 game storage but for backwards compatibility with original titles. This HDD will NOT work with original titles, you will need to go to Wal-Marts or Microsofts website to find official hard drives that will be backwards compatible. If you purchase this hard drive expecting to be able to play original titles, you will become very disappointed when seeing the The game failed to start. Try downloading the game again. For more help, please go to xbox.com/support. error message, meaning its not official. Otherwise, the hard drive is great. It installed fine, runs fine and Ive had no issues thus far, I just give it four stars simply because its not official. Keep in mind, though. because it needs some space to run properly, you will only get ~230 GB of space, not the full 250. Even so, this should be plenty of space for the casual gamers who need more space for some larger 360 titles. If you are a gamer who is consistently purchases high-end games and installs all of them on your system, Id recommend getting the 320 GB model. I havent hit the point where I need to start using my hard drive, as I still have ~80 MB of space left on my Xboxs internal hard drive, (which Im using the rest for Skyrim until that tops off), but Ill probably start saving on it once I get into Bioshock. Again, just so people here are aware, this is NOT an official hard drive from Microsoft, so original Xbox titles will NOT play on it. Im saying this now and with as much stress and emphasis as possible so unaware buyers dont get this and get pissed off because its not what they thought it was. I talked with a Microsoft ambassador about the issue I was having, and he claimed that any games that are backwards compatible have a separate version, something like DC I think, and those work on the 360, which is bulls***. If you have an official hard drive, you can simply put the original title into your 360 and voila. No separate version s*** required. Hopefully those who read these reviews come across this and understand what this product really is. If you dont/didnt have an original Xbox, then youve got nothing to worry about but a great external HDD for your 360. Thanks for taking the time to read this review, for those who do!

Keeps deleting my data and reformatting over and over

cheap hard drive froze my Xbox

Just drop into expansion bay and turn xbox on, hard drive appears. Straightforward and easy.

no problem

Plug and play. Worked as expected. Son needed a hard drive because he has the xbox 360 E 4GB. Needed extra space to play a game that required 16GB.

This item will not allow backward capability to the 360 to play Xbox games . If you only play 360 games it should be ok, but if your like me and want to play Xbox games on the 360 get an official Microsoft Xbox slim drive .

Just what my son wanted

Not much else to say. Arrived quickly, exactly what I needed. Thank you

It didnt work. I would do no stars but I cant. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. I couldnt afford much. I was very disappointed that it didnt work. Actually it crashed his Xbox
