Advantages: good hard drive which looks nice and can store whatever you want! Disadvantages: quite expensive - but you can still do alot with it!
If you own an Xbox 360 then it is almost impossible to really utilise everything that is available to you without having this 20GBharddrive. If you own the premium console or the elite then you will be fine as these already come with their own harddrives. However if you have bought the arcade console or the core console then i would certainly advise buying a harddrive so that you can really fulfill the potential of such a great console and get the most out of xbox live.
I originally bought the premium console, which later broke so I bought the arcade console, but fortunately I already had my harddrive and just moved it to my new console - I would have to say that this harddrive is indispensable and extremely important part of my console as it has so many different purposes.
The actual harddrive:

Advantages: Lots of space for all your gaming needs. Disadvantages: Price, Dust, Missing GB
My personal experience with the Xbox 360 harddrive has been fairly positive. The ability to store music, films, videos and of course games saves is one that no Xbox gamer should be without. 120 GB of memory is more than enough for the average gamer. The harddrive is well designed to blend with the console perfectly. It is small and easy to store.
However the price is pretty heavy compared to the cheaper 20GB versions. A problem with the memory is the fact that the harddrive does not actually have 120GB, obviously it wouldn't be exactly due to the need for the running files but several GB are actually missing. Regular cleaning is advised as dust tends to collect on the harddrive but a sharp blow into the docking port is sufficient to clear this.
All in all this product is an incredibly useful addition to any Xbox 360 gamers ...
Advantages: Great invention, reasonable price, large capacity Disadvantages: Bulky, noisy
approx. 3.5 inches in height, 10 inches across and 3.5 inches deep. When it is running it is also has quite a loud buzzing noise, which can be quite tedious.
The harddrive has 120GB and can store approx. 2,000 hours of digital music, 38,400 digital photos, 120 hours of digital video or 60 PC games. You are able to store digtal photos, videos, music, DVD's, Business Documents and Emails on the harddrive.
The harddrive has a 7200-RPM spin speed and a 2-MB cache buffer, BounceBack Express software for fast and easy back up, built-in self-monitoring technology and is also compatible with Windows and Macintosh platforms.
I have found this harddrive really useful, no longer does my laptop get filled up, it also runs faster. I am able to store all large documents/music/games on the external harddrive which prevents the slow ...
