My son hasn't had any problems with his. Especially since we learned you are supposed to keep the Xbox on its side not up and down!

My son said that other than the once in a while "regular" freeze of the x-box that he has noticed no abnormal freezing since the install of the hard drive.

hasn't happened to my son.......do you leave the xbox on for long periods? When our computer monitor had heat issues, we bought a small fan that runs whenever the monitor is on and that fixed the overheating problem......

Hard to tell, but if the drive was working fine before putting it in the enclosure, then there's a good chance the enclosure is defective. The quality is pretty bad, unfortunately... Same thing happened to me. I complained and got a replacement. Any chance you can put your drive in a different enclosure, to test it?

Ive noticed mine running quite a bit hotter, I think its because the system is able to run faster, so it takes a little more power to the processor. I have compared power specs of the drives, and they are VERY similar, so its not a problem there. I can get a thermometer and compare temps, I have a stock one I use also, so I can run them side by side, and take temps from both to see how they compare. I have ran it quite a bit with the new drive, it IS noticeably faster, and I haven't had any issues yet with stability or crashes.

Yes. From what I heard, the only thing this hard drive will not do is play original Xbox games but I can't personally verifiy that.

I just started using this USB on my new 360. I got the same message after formatting on my Xbox. And I started loading games on it anyway. It works as an alternative to spinning the disk. It's probably not the fastest drive you could use, but it seems as fast as the disk would be or a touch faster. Use it and get another one. There's plenty of ports to fill with USB drives. I'm getting another one besides this exact one just to put more games on.

No idea! Certainly haven't received that message before. Exchange product & try another disk or try another xBox!

Check the little disk in the bottom. Mine took a long time to warm one day and it turned out the disk was not seated properly after Bing cleaned

No. Get something more reliable like a WD BLUE OR BLACK (black is better) This drive failed on me after only 4 months in my Xbox 360. I replaced it with a 360mb WD black after a lot of careful research.

I had the same exact problem. Try restarting the xbox, and if that does not help, then try removing and re-seating the hard drive. That's all you can do before reformatting.

yes I had a couple small issues, and just last week the hard drive crashed. I'm told that Toshiba hard drives are not the best. I gave the computer to my tech to research a better hard drive. Otherwise I like the computer overall.

I have had the temp on max while using the disk& had no problems. Either you got a bad disk or your burner is going higher than it is set for.

If you're blocking the vents, you're going to get an overheated drive very very soon. This can result in freezes and data corruption and finally drive failure. So be careful.

I don't have any original XBox games so I can't be certain. This is just a storage drive, not a whole motherboard. If the game can play on 360, I don't anticipate it having a problem once this drive is installed. As for saving games, I would assume there would likewise be no problem, but I can't be sure. Hope that helps (a little).

It does not do anything when connected. The first time I connected it, it I could see the drive C but couldn't access any info off the drive. Then it got hot and now it won't do anything.

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

You should be good to go. I don't keep it up all the time, but I have left it connected for weeks at a time. The hard drive is out in the open so it won't really overheat, and there is a power switch on it, so you can turn it off but leave it all setup when the drive is not in use.

Honestly i had the original hard drive in and played the ps4 for 3 days probably 3-4 hr sessions and it did get warm when i put in the western hard drive i really could not tell the difference it gets warm but never anything past what the orginal did
