Very please with this item

Customer Rating:
I will order from this seller again in fact it has been years since I order this item and it still work fine. If I need anything for my grandson XBox 360 I would like to perchase them from this seller.

Decent price, but deceptive description.

Customer Rating:
Didn't take long to get. Plugged in and worked like a champ. But it only had 13 gigs available. I figured its a refurb so there wasn't much point complaining.

20GB Hard drive

Customer Rating:
Yes there is only 13.9GB of usable space... But for me that is more then enough memory for what i need it for. I dont dowload movies or music i just use it for moderate gaming. If you want to have enough memory just to save games on this hard drive will provide enough memory.

Shipped Fast... Works great... My son was happy for Christmas

Customer Rating:
This product was shipped to me very fast. The hard drive works great. My so was very happy Christmas to have his new X-obx and hard drive to save all of his new games.

To clarify some things.....

Customer Rating:
I just wanted to point something out for these kids..

I see like 27 reviews saying.. "I BOUGHT A 20GB HD! OMG ITS ONLY 13GB!! BUT I DELETED EVERYTHING.. WHY?!?!"


Heres the scoop. Theres a thing called format..
It IS a 20GB drive.

You bought a 20GB drive.


1 GB = 1,024 MB
1 MB = 1,024 KB
1 KB = 1,024 Byte
1 B = 8 bits. yes. bits. its different. and small.

1 bit = 2441231532561243 atomic particles... just kidding...

thats the standard..



now they're trying to switch to this... 1000 standard.
Because people cant wrap their brains around the 24 extra on a K and america cant do math..
So a straight K is "easier"

[1000 plus 1000 is 2000...]

heres the exponentiality for the old method:
from the middle..
8mb
16mb
32mb
64mb
128mb
256mb
512mb
1024mb

wait.
1024?
WTZOMG?!
yes.
because the number 8 likes the number 1024..

But they left out one thing!
All our wonderful devices (except any Mac on Snow Leopard) [thanks, Apple, i love you]
are still stuck on the 1,024 idea. the truth.

yeah.
so your hard drive was made to the specifications that 1 GB is equal to 1,024 MB......

Your xbox reads the hard drive according to the specifications that 1 GB is equal to 1,000 MB
for dummies. but your xbox is not a dummy. it knows better and says 13 available..

24 MB difference on the gig...



Example:
Go check out your computer. What size hard drive is in it?
Oh, an 80GB? I bet when you look at total capacity under "My Computer" (for you windows folks)
it'll say something like.... 75.6GB



Did that make any sense?


IT IS A 20GB DRIVE!


just remember. your computer/xbox is working with 8's originally..
