Advantages: Stores everything, can be swapped easily

Disadvantages: Expensive on its own!

If you own an Xbox 360 another thing you really do need if you want to enjoy it is a hard drive. The smallest hard drive is 20gb so you really do need to buy this product or the bigger 120gb hard drive to save everything. If you buy an elite or premium console you do not need to worry about buying a hard drive as premium comes with 60gb and an elite comes with 120gb.

The hard drive can store up to 20gb worth of stuff whether it be games saves, movies, music, downloads. One problem though is when you actually get your Xbox and turn it on you will find 7gb has already gone which is a shame!

The hard drive is quite bulky but just fits perfectly on the top of the console and does look quite nice there. It is also very easy to remove so if you had to buy another xbox 360 or borrowed one for a month you can just put your hard drive on the new Xbox 360 and you are ready to go with all your saved files!

What can you actually put on the hard drive?

The hard drive comes with a free Xbox live arcade game Hexic Hd which is reasonably fun for a little while (and I have reviewed it)

Right firstly you will want to store your game saves but they only take up little space (a few MB!) so you can have as many as them as you could want.

If you have Xbox live you can also download lots more stuff like arcade games, films, videos, updates, extra levels, maps for games, gamer pictures, themes, avatar clothes and much more.

You can also download full games for your Xbox (a great idea but some reason they cost more than they would in the shop, don`t have a manual, box , take up loads of space and cannot be sold on so I would definitely not recommend this!

You can also store music on your Xbox and you simply burn a CD to the hard drive and can listen to music while playing games! So you can listen to heavy metal while playing shooting games or whale sounds if that is your thing! This can be useful if a game has awful music as you simply play your favourite music and the awful sounds are gone!

The hard drive on its own is stupidly expensive so you should just buy a console with a hard drive or maybe try Ebay for one!

Overall, a hard drive makes your Xbox so much better and you have to have one!

4/5

Summary: Get one!
