Cheaply made, brittle plastic, but gets the job done

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

I received my package in remarkable time: ordered it on Wednesday night (late), it was delivered on Friday. Item was well packaged, and should have survived shipping. However, when I opened it up, 6 tiny screws with black plastic rings on them fell out of the packaging. All of the screws were still embedded in the plastic stand-off's that they were screwed into. After closer inspection, I discovered that the screws were meant to hold the molded plastic release mechanism down so that when the ribbon (which is marked 250GB) is pulled, it deflects the plastic lock that holds the drive enclosure securely in the Xbox 360 Slim. With all 6 screws broken, this release mechanism didn't work. I considered returning the broken item, but then realized that I could just use epoxy to fasten the plastic pieces together where the screws failed.

These are cheaply made parts with low-quality/brittle plastics; but they serve the purpose of securing a hard drive inside the Xbox 360 Slim just fine. Once it's installed, the plastic is adequate to protect the drive and secure it in place, you likely will never need to remove it (unless your hard drive dies or fills up).

Great Product

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011

This is a great product. I saw some videos on YouTube where people were putting original Xbox 360 HDDs in their Slim Xbox 360 systems. I saw this product in a video and decided to try it. When I got the product it was in a box with no directions. The product is simple though, snap the case on top of the box. I originally had trouble doing this because I did not know which I way I was suppose to have my HDD facing in the case and which way to put the lid on. After fidgeting around with different ways to put my HDD in the box and different ways putting the lid on, I finally found the right way to place the HDD and case together. The correct way is to put your HDD in warning label up with your SATA port facing the opening in the case. When putting the lid on, there is an extension on one of the ends of the lid. Put the case on with the extension at the opposite end of the opening, then press down from the back. Make sure you have the HDD in correctly because it is hard to open the case.

Overall:

This is a great product for anyone trying to put their old Xbox 360 HDD into their Slim Xbox 360. The lack of directions is slighty annoying, but the product is simple enough that you really don't need any. I definitely recommend this product.

*********On another note, your old Xbox 360 HDD can fit in your slim Xbox 360 without this case. It can stand in the system alone by itself, but it can easily become un-lodged if the system is bumped, you can make the fit tighter by stuffing the loose area around the hard drive with paper or erasers.

Simple, Easy, and Overall Money Saver!!!!

I have upgraded my 360's HDD a few years back to a 250GB version and then tossed the old drive out and reused the old case. This was a no brainer since I was kind of forced into upgrading to the 360 Slim due to performance degration of the 360 arcade I had. Shipping was fast and the instalation/setup was a no brainer... If you experienced any issues it was your fault, not the products. There's no screws thus there is no tools or other hardware needed. The only thing you have to make sure is that you line the plastic pins of the case up with the screw holes of the drive and everything snaps together. It literally took less then 2 minutes to install my original hard drive but may take someone an additional 2-3 minutes taking theirs out of the older HDD case.

I highly recommend this to EVERYONE! If you are wise and want to save an extra $100+ then buy this and use your origial drive! It's not complicated at all to do!

**As a side note for the original older cases... You need a Torque screw driver to disassemble the case. You can buy one at your local hardware store such as lowes, home depot, sears, ect... I got a small torque driver with different smaller torque driver sizes inside the handle for under 10 bucks. There are youtube videos on how to do it if you really need a visual on how to disassemble the old hdd**

Don't try to remove it

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013

Had an old hard drive from my original (White) Xbox that I gutted for the new S I recently got. The install of this enclosure was super simple and the case was definitely worth it, in my opinion, to keep the bare drive seated properly in the hard drive bay of the Xbox. It felt cheap but once it was in there, it felt fine. I recently bought a legit Microsoft HDD off a buddy for cheap so I needed to remove the one I had put in with this enclosure. The strip of fabric that is left outwards of this bay to pull the case out with broke very easily and made the removal a HUGE PAIN. I ended up having to use a Leatherman tool to pull the case out, thoroughly breaking it at that point (although I did not care in the slightest at $4 and the HDD was fine). I actually think I messed up my Xbox too but since its just the HDD bay, it really doesn't bother me. If you are ready to be "final" with you HDD install and this case, you should be good to go; especially for $4. But be wary if you ever need to take it out.

Fit the hard drive and xbox 360 well.

Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2018

I had a spare HD drive and this allowed me to expand the memory of my xbox 360 for cheaper than the alternative. I had to open the enclosure a few times because the first HDD I had wouldnt format, and had no problems. I'd buy it again if I needed it and would recommend it to others.

Exactly as described, a littly flimsy

Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2014

Fits in my 360 slim no issues but kind of flimsy. Not too worried though, once the hard drive is in there its in there so will probably never take it out, and 8 bucks + a hard drive is certainly cheaper than the 1st party option!

Good buy

I bought this to toss a bigger hard drive in my xbox. I had a spare laptop hard drive compatible with my 360 just need the case. this worked perfect. the only downside to using this is the hard drive limitations but that isn't a seller issue.

Fits the new HD great and seems exactly like the stock case

Fits the new HD great and seems exactly like the stock case, (including the little pull tab to remove it). Everyone says its flimsy but come on, all it does is sit in the xbox... its perfectly fine.

Fits perfectly, just remember that you can only use Western Digital hard drives in the XBox 360.
