No, it won't work that easily. The drive model isn't the same and also the drive and the main board need to fit, they have an unique code.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

The 40 GB and the 60 GB model use the same board, the 80 GB has a different one. If you get your hands on one model from another 40 Gb or a 60 Gb model drive you have to swap the drive boards too, it won't be as easy as unplug and replug.

Also if you are on a hacked firmware you could get an identical drive and do the remarry process. It is easier to just swap control boards IMO. The only time I see the remarry useful is if the control board is shot.
