This is your pick if you want to save $50 or more upgrading your XBOX console (20GB or 60GB version) you can get 120GB for a fraction of the price that MS wants for the same capacity. Some work should be done in the original case and logical work in the disk. It's not a direct upgrade, you do at your own risk and computer knowledge. But I can tell that works perfectlly for this
If you want to use for plain notbook usage, it's a little outdated, because you can get right now 160GB to 500GB capacity disks. But for the price it can be set as a external disk enclosure disk (need to buy the enclosure also) with a lot of capacity for data.

For the one who worried about whether it works with the xbox 360, I would like to tell people it works flawless!
But be sure that you know this is not a direct replacement.
You got to do some works, and you proper need to understand the procedures/replacement guides you found on the internet, otherwise, it will be a waste. Not only on your money, but your time also.
For your reference, I am a programmer, the technical skill for me is around 5/10.
If you wanna move all your saves, you will find it is a bit harder.

With some skill and the right googling skills, this works great to replace the Xbox 360 drive.

Bought this as a replacement drive for a Dell laptop. I am not a fan of SATA drives. This is the second laptop I have had to replace the drive in. One was a very high use one but not the other, mostly recreational but got unrecoverable bad blocks in both. I do however think that the Western Digital brand is excellent. This site had the best price for the drives. They arrived very well packaged and in an acceptable time frame. No problems reloading from a recovery disk. I will buy other electronic equipment from this merchant in the future.

Given that this is a 5400RPM drive, it is definitely a faster drive than the 60GB Seagate drive (likely 4200RPM) originally installed in my MacBook. It vibrates a bit more, but gives me better speed and better capacity. It's still is pretty quiet though.
In the retail box which I purchased this drive, there were no instructions except for a piece of paper that recommended professional installation. For some laptops that don't make HD replacement easy, that might be the case. But if your manufacturer makes instructions for installing a SATA drive in a laptop, you'll be in good shape. There's no slave/master issues with a SATA drive that you'd face with an IDE drive...
Popping the mounting bracket from the MacBook was simple and then I simply formatted it for HFS+ and installed a fresh Leopard copy. No bad sectors or anything else that Mac OS has detected yet, so things are looking good. Nevertheless, it's a hard drive, so who knows what might happen...
