Xbox 360 20GB Hard Drive Reviews
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.
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.
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..
I ended up with this size drive because it came with the unit. I not naive and I assumed that 20GB would not actually translate into 21,474,836,480 usable bytes. But, of the "20GB" size, only 13.6GB are usable. That's formatted folks; totally empty. This size drive is a total rip-off. Save your money and get the 60GB or even the 120GB. The only reason it gets 2 stars (and not 1) is because it actually works as a HDD.
The title says it. I got a 120gb HDD for $50, it's just not worth it to buy a HDD with this small of a size at that price. It works, it's an upgrade, but if you're buying an HDD, I strongly suggest the 60gb or the 120gb, as microsoft reserves about 7gigs per harddrive (my 20gb went to 13, and my 120gb had 113gb)
