HWAYO 500GB Internal Hard Drive Disk HDD for XBOX360 Slim Games

I purchased the 500Gb Drive to utilize with an Xbox 360 we had here at our workplace. We had been utilizing this console for months, with no issues whatsoever, except we were constrained by memory limits all the time (never any software/hardware problems). I saw this product going for relatively cheap and decided to buy it for us. When I first installed it, it seemed to work fine. I was able to transfer the data we saved locally over to it and everything. When I started playing a game with it installed is when I noticed one of the first problems: the game was running sluggishly and keep freezing. Then out of nowhere if froze completely and I had to turn off the Xbox. Upon doing so, I noticed the console was UNREASONABLY hot, as if I had been playing it for hours on end rather than a half hour like I did. When I attempted to turn it back on, the Xbox lit up with a red dot and stated it had an error and could not start. I let the Xbox sit to cool off, thinking it was probably a cooling error, which was confirmed by a quick Google search. We had NEVER had this problem before and the only thing that had changed was the installation of the new drive. After giving it some time to cool down, I was able to successfully reset it. Only there was one problem: the Xbox was not showing any of my gamer profiles and could not find the Hard Drive in the Storage section. After shutting down the Xbox again, I attempted to pull out the Hard Drive; this itself took multiple tries, as even with the pull tab (that felt like it would rip off at any second), it would not seem to release from the console. After finally pulling it out, I reinstalled it, ensuring there was a snug fit, and booted the system back up. There was my data again! Once more though, after playing a different game for a short period, the Xbox would overheat, performance would suffer, it would freeze and force a restart, showing a hardware error. Sometimes after rebooting, the Xbox would read the Hard Drive as being installed, sometimes not. Way more pain than it is worth. I do not suggest purchasing this.

I bought this a few months ago and I sent you guys a email about it that it quit working and I lost so much data and I would like to know what you guys would do about it

Easy to install and Im using it on my Xbox 360 slim rgh now.

Works great

Worked wonderfully easy installation, gives you about 450 GB. Awesome deal.

Just installed and tested this. Works like a charm. Will update review if it stops working.

It would not format to my Xbox 360, and could not be used.
