How do you actually make it work??!! What else do you need to install this??!! I purchased two hard drives, and two cables, and none seem to work.

My 15 year old son installed this and this only. You need to push all the way in until it clicks. This is the only thing we bought and it works awesome. Total capacity is is like 316. No extra cables nothing.

These drives are for the X-Box 360 S. This is an INTERNAL hard drive that is installed through the bottom access. See how in this video link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14zCYhJQDAA Tee video is not me nor do I have any connection with this video or person in the attached video.

You should not need cables at all. First, you will need to identify the type of xbox you have. If you have a "fat" (curved sides, no vent on side), you purchased the wrong hard drive. If your Xbox is "slim", (angled or straight sides, vent on the side) then you will need to remove the small vent on the side of the Xbox and slide the drive in.

I didn't... returned it... I would suggest purchasing directly from Microsoft/Xbox...

its pre configured so you can just plug and go, it's only compatible with xbox 360 S and E models though

The one that I purchased you only had to open the side panel on the right back side(I think that's the side its on) or the panel may slide, the slip the hard drive in......I needed no cables

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

I tested this and it does not work. It tries to mount both as USBDisk_1 - so only one will actually work correctly.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Sometimes the best way to answer a question like this is buy trial and error you will have to try it if you have alread bought the cable if you haven't then you will need to check the usb ports on your unit if they are standard as is most units it should work so check the specs on the unit it should be on a tag os stick on plat directly on the unit itself or the paperwork that came with the unit if you bought it new and you should have your answer I hope this helps you out

I did add a second hard drive, but I am no pro. The metal plate blocking the slot is a knock out, so I got pliers and ripped it (gently,) out. I had to go buy a cable (I bought a longer version of the cable that attached the drive to my old computer) and simply installed it in the same way my old drive was installed. I may simply have gotten lucky. I remember an old conversation about making one drive a slave to the other, but I didn't do anything like that, and the drives are both working, so maybe I did get lucky.

Hello Kathryn, This cable never did work for me. I plugged it in and my laptop could not see the drive. Returning the cable was not an easy process so I just kept the cable. If your WD drive is less than a year old I'm sure if you called WD they would send you a free replacement if yours stopped working.

All of these kinds of adapters are very flaky. They work with some drives, and others they will not. There is no way of knowing unless you can find someone that's using your exact same drives. Among several variables, it's the chipset of the drive that usually determines this. (This DID NOT WORK with a SATA HD I got, trying to use it in an external IDE enclosure. In a case such as that, it may be the HD or of course it may be the enclosure). I've tried similar adapters with optical drives and some worked and some did not.

Well once it is complete you can navigate to the seagate drive through finder and try to open the files to verify they are there. How it is done? I still have not gotten it to work, but seagate sent me some info because I have had trouble. Check seagate's website.

I have been loking around for an external drive, and I've noticed they all fail! IMO the best way to gois to have 2 of the drives and do a periodic copy of each to each. I have a free agent on my mac and it has been working perfectly, but I am looking for a drive to back up between a PC and a mac. Two cheap drives may be more reliable than a single more expensive, since they all fail and you cant "pay out" of the uncertainty. Change that: Buy two expensive hard drives and dont even fool with the Seagates..

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

Are you sure that you used the USB cable correctly? You need to plug both USB cables to your computer for the drive to work. One would only provide power, and the other would be used to transfer DATA, neither one can work on its own. As a troubleshooting step, try to use a drive in the enclosure that you know for sure is not dead, if that one works, and the other one is still giving you problems, then it might be a problem in the drive itself but not the enclosure. However, if the drive that you know is working well, still doesn't show up on the computer, then it might be a problem in the enclosure. Hope this helps!

I haven't come across that issue as of yet. I immediately installed all 3 disks upon arrival although I'm still currently working in the first disk I can't imagine why the others wouldn't work just as this one is. No prompts or issues during download. My packaging was sealed as if from supplier itself. Hope that helps

That's exactly what I'm doing and why I bought this; however I am certainly no hardware guru. It takes a while for it to show upon explorer (4-5 secs), windows needs to read it, etc. I would go to the internet and find a forum that has a topic for hardware, giving them the model, intent, etc. Let me know what you find out. I am interested. My final goal it to set up a RAID, still need one more hard drive.

Make sure the provided lead with the 2 pin socket at each end is plugged onto the motherboard "HDD LED" pins, and the other end onto the proper two pins on the Syba card. Then plug the two pin socket on the lead coming from the case HDD LED onto the other two pins on the Syba card. MAKE SURE to observe proper polarities on all three connections. I'm pretty sure the instructions describe the connections. The installation here worked perfectly. Hope that helps.... Steve

First, make sure BOTH plugs are plugged in. Mine won't work with only one. The only other thing I can think of would be to restart with it connected. Unless you're running Linux. If so you probably have to mount it.
