Ok, I had already figured based on the description that this was just a Western Digital drive on which HDDHacker had been used to make it impersonate an official Microsoft Drive.

I did however expect the company to do it correctly in using the right tools, right settings, creating all the partitions and adding the files so it would work 100% like an official drive.

This hard drive is perfect I love it. It fit in right where is was suppose to in the Xbox 360 console

Shipping was extremely fast, got it within 3 days of ordering.

One other issue I have found is that I can't seem to get the hard drive out of my 4GB xbox, this is probably because im doing it wrong, but i'll figure it out. Came undamaged and clean.

Overall a very nice item, although I was hoping for one that had the "Xbox 360" name written on it.
