Absolutely. I have had zero problems with mine and I'm so glad that I didn't waste my money to get the Microsoft brand!

Yes. Providing that it isn't defective. Sometimes, when you buy a used hard drive, they don't work. But not often. Make sure you buy from someone with a good rating, so you can send it back if it doesn't work. You really can save a lot of money this way. Good luck.

This is not an official microsoft brand hardrive but it is recognized by the xbox as one. When you check the storage it lists the hdd as "Microsoft".

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

If you bought the one your asking about then yes, you will just have to switch out the board from the original xbox dvd drive. Ive had no problems from the xbox since i purchased and switched the drives.

One of the Seagate forum moderators stated that it's the same drive: http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Momentus-XT-Momentus-and/What-is-the-difference-between-the-Momentus-xt-500-G-models/m-p/85644

I just installed it in my daughter's Toshiba laptop last night with the same series of laptop you mention. Just don't lose the screws when you take the other hard drive out. I am assuming that you will clone the original to it. Or load an OS with it. Either way my daughter is up and running all day just fine!

I purchased the one I got from amazon to go into my son's machine. If it is the same one I purchased then it should work. The seller that bought the drive from was sold by HAUSBELL I hope that this helps.

You don't need a proprietary Microsoft one. I ordered this Hausbell one, which was the cheapest available at Amazon, at the time: http://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-320G-Hard-Drive-Microsoft/dp/B00B0QONB0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1417195335&sr=8-16&keywords=xbox+hard+drive -it installed very easily and automatically, and has worked perfectly. There are larger ones now available, and I'd guess other brands are just as good. In fact, my drive had nothing that identified it as a "Hausbell" drive -the drive looked totally generic. Note that this and other drives advertised and/or labeled as for the Slim, work fine on the 360E because the octagonal slots are identical.

My drive arrived the same way and i can tell you that there was no problems with it. It was still in good condition and works perfectly fine. Hope this helped.

It should function just as the internal one with the same software, either native Win7 or whatever software you use to read/write. Just select the new drive from Explorer.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, the drive is for a Drobo Raid and it's not something that concerned me when I made the purchase. It was however physically an exact match to the Older drive it replaced, I hope that helps.

Some games are reverse compatible with a hard drive. Not all original Xbox games are. If the hdd works then yes you should be able to but I would buy it at a game stop location to be on the safe side that way if it does not you can still return it fairly easily.

Well it should it is a laptop compatible hard drive. What's your current hard drive specifications?

Yes. Every computer holds the hard drive differently so they make all harddrives the same and you simply swap out old one with the new one. And if like me you were not able to back up anything be prepared to have too install windows again and also message your manufacturer your computer info and ask for a link to all the drivers you will need to make your computer able to use all of its features. You may not even have a internet driver or WiFi capability for instance until you install drivers for it I'm this instance another computer and a flash drive will be handy

Thanks, I got this hard drive about a month ago and it has been working perfectly. I used the free trial of Acronis True Image 2010 to clone the drive. Now I have this drive and my old 320GB 54K for a backup drive!

Yes this drive would function just fine with that model, though the OS will have to be re-installed.

I agree that it will work. if there is a BIG difference in hardware between the desktop and the laptop, Microsoft MAY tell you your version of Windows is unregistered. As long as you have your original disc or your key, re-registering will not be a problem.
