Xbox hard drive - store what you want!

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 20GB hard drive. If you own the premium console or the elite then you will be fine as these already come with their own hard drives. However if you have bought the arcade console or the core console then i would certainly advise buying a hard drive 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 hard drive and just moved it to my new console - I would have to say that this hard drive is indispensable and extremely important part of my console as it has so many different purposes. The actual hard drive: The hard drive is quite...

Another Neccessity!

Advantages: Stores everything, can be swapped easily
Disadvantages: Expensive on its own!

...If you own an Xbox 360 another thing you really do need if you want to enjoy it is a hard drive. The smallest hard drive is 20gb so you really do need to buy this product or the bigger 120gb hard drive to save everything. If you buy an elite or premium console you do not need to worry about buying a hard drive as premium comes with 60gb and an elite comes with 120gb. The hard drive can store up to 20gb worth of stuff whether it be games saves, movies, music, downloads. One problem though is when you actually get your Xbox and turn it on you will find 7gb has already gone which is a shame! The hard drive is quite bulky but just fits perfectly on the top of the console and does look quite nice there. It is also very easy to remove so if you had to buy another xbox 360 or borrowed one for a month you can just put your hard drive...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Hard Drive (20 GB)

Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive

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 is the fact that the hard drive 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 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...

Xbox 360 Hard Drive Hard To Do Without.

Advantages: Huge amounts of storage, durable, can take game saves everywhere.
Disadvantages: Price.

...The Xbox 360 120GB removable hard drive is a great item to buy for any Xbox 360 gamer. The larger hard drive has become even more useful with the coming of the ability to buy or rent movies via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Considering each movie is around 1GB in size (and even larger if downloaded in HD) conventional size Hard Drives will rapidly be eaten up. The removable hard drive is also extremely easy to use, it slides clips on the size of the Xbox 360 console, and absolutely no further setup is required. It is equally as easy to remove, you simply have to push in the button and lift it out of position. Its relatively small size then comes in handy, as you can carry it to your friends house and fit it on their console. All of your game saves and your gamercard can now be accessed on their console and provided they have access to...

A hard to damage hard drive!

Advantages: Tough, fast and inexpensive!
Disadvantages: None to date.

...External hard drives seem to be getting ever more popular, it seems no matter how big the PC or laptop`s own drive is it`s never enough. This particular external hard drive is designed to be portable so as well as having the extra space you might need you also have the option of being able to take this drive along to friends or family`s houses or even to work and instantly have access to all the files you need or even just want. The Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive in question has a 250Gb capacity which when used along with your original hard drive or probably even on its own is more than enough for most. Some external hard drives look and are very bulky and cumbersome, this one being designed to be portable is a lot less so. It is fairly light weight but very robust and also has the distinct advantage of looking good which a lot...

Save Your Games (and other stuff too!)

Advantages: Looks good, Save your games, Store Xbox Live content.
Disadvantages: Size not as advertised, not enough room for multiple movies/ Xbox Originals

...The Xbox 360 20GB Hard Drive is a necessity for all Xbox 360 users. It provides basic features that every Xbox owner will need. Look The Xbox 360 20GB Hard Drive is quite good looking, for a hard drive, it is very different from your basic PC hard drive. It has been modelled perfectly after the Xbox 360 styling so it will obviously fit in perfectly with your Xbox 360 console. The Hard Drive itself is a rounded rectangular box; it has a reasonable weight to it and feels pretty solid in its construction. On the top you get a shiny metallic badge which reads HDD in faded white lettering (in the Xbox 360 font of course) the metal finish makes it feel really nice and makes me think of a quality device like the metallic skinned iPod. Around the drive you get a chrome finish, unfortunately this isn't metal but it looks really nice...

External Hard-drive fit for rugged adventures

Advantages: Fast transfer speed, protection from knocks and drops
Disadvantages: Fairly high price

...The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain External 250 hard-drive is a portable storage device which will allow you to store 250gb of multimedia files such as pictures, music and video. You will obviously also be able to hold documents and other files as well (e.g. software installations). Measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, 2.5 cm in height and weighing just 250 grams, making the LaCie external hard-drive very light as well as portable. The hard-drive is portable in the way that it is very light, the only thing you have to take into account is that you will require a medium to large sized pocket or any form of bag in order to carry the device. You could always opt to just carrying it around in your hand, which is not very practical in everyday life. All external and internal hard-drives state a certain amount of memory capacity, but in fact...

No Fuss, No Click Backup Hard Drive

Advantages: Easy to use even for beginners.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...the size of a pack of cards), so I can take it anywhere with me and will be able to use it on most computers, especially viewing photographs and videos, or opening Word documents and spreadsheets and the like. Using the drive for the first time took about 20 minutes as I had around 50GBs of files in My Documents to back up, it also backed up all my e-mails from Outlook Express and my favourites from Internet Explorer. In fact, everything I would need to access from another computer. I then decided to copy all the files on the ClickFree drive on to my laptop and this too was simplicity. When you plug the drive in, it will back-up, as I said without clicking anything. However, should you wish to, you can use your mouse to view your files or to select the restore function - that is to put your files back if ever you have to have a new hard-drive...
