    The best non-bannable hack for your XBox 360, October 4, 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
    This review is from: Western Digital 250 GB Scorpio Black SATA 3 Gb/s 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive – WD2500BEKT (Personal Computers)

    Major improvement over the slow 20GB stock HDD that came with my older XBox 360. Faster than the Micro$oft branded 250GB Xbox HDD upgrade at 1/3 the price. Only voids the warranty of the drive, not the whole system. But you do have to know what you’re doing.
    Plenty of room for loading games from the disc to HDD; the result? Somewhat quicker load times, greatly reduced noise, vastly reduced system heat.
    Want to know what the leading cause of RRoD is? An overheating GPU melting the solder that holds it to the mainboard.
    Any guess why?
    The DVD drive, which is drectly above it and practically touches the heatsink, gets super hot over long periods of play time. Combine that with the heat of the GPU under load, and you have a recipe for disaster. But if you rip the game to the HDD when the GPU isn’t under load, then you only need to insert the disc to start the game without having to spin up the disc while playing. This keeps the GPU cool and happy, and makes load times more bearable.

    You could potentially do this hack with a super-fast VelociRaptor HDD and improve load times drastically, but in that case I would worry about the HDD itself overheating due to lack of ventilation to the HDD enclosure. VelociRaptors come mounted to 3.5″ bay heatsinks for a reason.

    Want to do this hack yourself? Search ” digiex xbox 360 250GB hack ” without quotes in Google and it’s the second link.
    Do note though that you’ll have to re-download any game updates and most of the DLC you got from XBox Live before playing those games.

    Buyer Beware – No Warranty!, January 4, 2011

    I bought one of these from Amazon on 4/4/2010 for a seldom used laptop that sits in on a stand in our living room. It died 1/4/2011. The “5 Year Limited Warranty” that was in the product description does not exist, since it was an “OEM” drive, Western Digital says it has NO WARRANTY.

    Beware of any item labeled “OEM”, Amazon lists the “Retail” warranty period in error. Not cool!

    I bought this to replace my Dell laptop hard drive. I installed it without any problem and my laptop seems a lot faster since my original laptop hard drive was 5400. Boot up time is a lot faster and application startup faster as well. This hard drive is very quite and after of 6 months of use, I have had no problem. It is a great buy. Just make sure you have right tools to open you laptop and replace your hard drive
