 Works Well, but is Very Expensive September 3, 2010
Steven Gargolinski (Boston)
If you need more than the 20gb of space that your Xbox 360 came with, then this is definitely the product for you. It's well-constructed, easy to install, and comes with a pretty simple kit to transfer your data from your old drive to the new one.
A word of warning: Make absolutely sure that you have connected your drives in the correct order when transferring your data. Follow the instructions carefully. If you do not connect the drives in the proper order, then you will end up wiping out your old drive and you'll be left with two blank hard drives. Major bummer, and I learned this one the hard way. Be careful!

 Replacement Part for Orginal HDD July 23, 2010

The refurb drive works fine but if you're looking for matched components you may want to stick with a new one. My 360 is white and the drive came in as black. No choice was given prior to purchase. Otherwise, it functions as described.
Great addition, so long as you get what you ordered. June 24, 2010

I see a great many reviews in which people are saying that they received a 3rd party HDD, and not a Microsoft hard-drive. Remember Amazon has the A-Z guarantee if you've been misled... Same goes for whether or not it contains the transfer kit, which will cost $20 if you purchase it separately. A new 120GB HDD should include the transfer kit, but I see a lot of people complaining that they didn't receive one.
I purchased a "used" Xbox 360 120GB HDD from a private Amazon seller, and it works great, though --as stated in the listing-- it didn`t include a TRANSFER KIT.
If you're upgrading and don`t have the TRANSFER KIT, you've got a few things to do once you`ve attached your "new" HDD:
1.) Do a Gametag recovery, to get your old profile onto your new hard-drive. You'll be prompted to do this during set-up once the new HDD has been attached... So no fuss, no muss. I should add that you do need to be connected to Xbox LIVE for this to work.
2.) After that, you can do a license transfer that will allow you to re-download anything you may have purchased off of LIVE. This can be done on Xbox.com, but you do need to have completed the step above first. If you've never purchased anything off of LIVE, you can skip this step.
3.) After that, it's all about your game saves. Without a TRASFER KIT, you can use a flash-drive instead, which means reattaching your old HDD and moving everything on to a flash/stick-drive (do this in the console dashboard's SYSTEM SETTINGS/MEMORY). Once completed, reattach your NEW HDD, and transfer whatever you need back off the flash-drive (again in SYSTEM SETTINGS/MEMORY). This is all VERY user friendly. However, one problem about using a flash drive was, for me, that a couple of the game saves wouldn't transfer. This was only an issue with 3 games (out of more than two dozen)... But I did end up borrowing a friends TRANSFER KIT, to complete the process.
I guess if you're like me and buying a used/refurb on the cheap without a transfer kit, I would suggest trying the flash-drive method first, and see if there is anything that can't be moved. If there is, I guess it then becomes an issue for you as to whether or not those saves are worth the $20 purchase of a kit.
MAY OR MAY NOT COME WITH TRANSFER KIT May 17, 2010

Reading the prior reviews, most if not all says it came with a transfer kit. Do not rely on this information alone. Amazon frequently uses different partners to fulfill the orders so whether or not it will come with a transfer kit is dependent on this fact.
Mine DID NOT come with a transfer kit, hence in the big picture I spent more money than I should because I thought I was saving money if it included the kit. I would have been better off buying the harddrive and kit from another seller, it would have came out to the price of the harddrive alone from here.
Best thing to do is see who the company is that the product ships from (there should be a name and link to the company right under the product name) and see if you can contact them to get the details on whether or not it includes transfer kit.
