Advantages: Lots of space for all your gaming needs.
Disadvantages: Price, Dust, Missing GB

My personal experience with the Xbox 360 hard drive 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 hard drive 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 ...
...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 hard drive 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 arsenal. hope this review has been helpful. ... Read review

Disadvantages: More space

So you have SATA and need a drive? This drive maybe for you, especially if you are looking at RAID in the future.

This particular device is an 80Gb derivative and will contain a maximum of 74Gb of data when formatted using NTFS. When a drive is made it is not formatted. The idea of formatting is to allow your computer to know where it has stored its data on the device. As such a large table is made which compares the location on the ...
...It can use the cunning Western Digital Secure connect cable. This means that the device will be more securely attached to its data cable which is important because SATA data cables have an annoying habit of falling out due to device vibration. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants this amount of space, but then again if you want more space hard drives are very cheap at the moment so you may want to consider something bigger. ...

Advantages: Hard drive space is very cheap nowadays, and worth it for older PCs. Great manual
Disadvantages: Installation is difficult compared to other PC components

...came away with an 80Gb Western Digital Drive, even though I had never previously heard of the company. Since buying the drive, I have since read about them in computing magazines, and drives by this manufacturer are frequently amongst the top 5 in any group test. This has backed up my view that I have made a sensible and decent purchase for once. ### OPENING THE BOX ### If you have never opened your PC case before, then installing a hard drive ...
...reinstalled them on the new Western Digital D drive, and all of them have seen increases in speed. It is also a lot quieter than my old hard drive. Obviously I boot up using the C drive, so you can hear it whirring and clunking away as the computer starts up, but then I use the programs on the D drive, and the difference in noise level is significantly lower. I occasionally catch myself looking to see if the red light at the front is on, as I can't ... Read review
