Works as expected
After my old Xbox 360 failed, i bought a new to me one, which unfortunately did not have a storage drive. Since Microsoft has discontinued these some time ago now, I was stuck finding an alternative to the OEM. This unit is the best priced plug and play option I could fine. The unit pricing is right in line with a normal drive of this capacity (in my case 500 GB). Speed is top notch, and the overall ease of install is straight forward.

Works like a charm
I got this because I wanted custom theme songs for my wrestlers on WWE wrestling games.Still works to this day, a solid and almost necessary addition to any XBox 360 kit.

Pretty good
No problems so far but it does come with less space than advertised. I think it was about 10 gigabytes off

Buyer Beware
Picked this drive up for a couple of reasons.1. Wanted increased storage for my sons' Xbox 360 E console (4GB internal storage)2. Great price for a drive w/ enclosure made for the 360 E/Slim consoles.I purchased the drive and console 2 weeks ahead of my sons' finishing 1st grade (7 yrs old). His last day of school I surprised him with the console and hard drive. I installed the drive into the system and the console recognized the drive. The drive was displayed with Chinese letters, so I had the Xbox format the drive. After formatting, the drive indicated 240GB or so of free space as expected. Everything was great.....or so I thought.The first game I attempted to download data for was Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition (expansions and all). This is quite a large download. It contains multiple files/updates that are around 2GB each. The Xbox was constantly freezing up and just seemed to refuse to write one of the files to the drive. I have another Xbox (mine) so I copied the files to an external drive and was able to finally get them to copy over to this drive. That whole process took around 8 hours (seriously....).I thought all was ok, but I had suspicions about the drive itself. In my experience, when drives have issues writing with the same thing over and over, it's often a bad sector on the drive. I wasn't 100% sure though as the Xbox and HDD were both new, so I wanted to allow the drive the benefit of the doubt.Turns out I was right about the drive. It's garbage. Yesterday (6/15/16) the drive was exhibiting the same problems with an update/expansion for Plants vs Zombies. The drive would fail to copy/download the update. I fought with it for a couple of hours (I'm a hard headed engineer that believes I can solve almost any problem). I finally threw in the towel and decided to use one of my external USB drives that I had extra with a very old 80gb Hitachi drive in it. I took the HDD out of the Xbox and the external old Hitachi drive had no issues downloading or transferring any content.At this point, I was quite disgusted with this HDD. I checked my Amazon account, and wouldn't you know my 30 days warranty had expired on 6/14/16. I'm not surprised - that's how things work out sometimes. So next I decided I would disassemble the this 250GB drive and put it in my desktop to see if it was a faulty drive. Upon removing the HDD from it's black case, the drive was marked with quite a few Chinese characters. I figure the drive was probably a grey-market drive or something, but that doesn't matter. I placed the drive into my PC and the PC recognized the drive. I placed a MBR partition on the drive and then started a quick NTFS format. The format never completed. I let it go for around 2 hours, but it never completed. I just decided to cut my losses at that point and throw the drive into the waste basket. Hindsight being what it is, I should have sprung the extra money on the Microsoft branded one and saved my son all the headaches this drive caused. Looks like a new SSD is in his future - at least I can reuse the case.
