what are you on about? .. a stock xbox has 2 sizes of drives.. 8.6 gig and 10 gig.. just because they were cheap and available at the time I guess... The seagate 10 gig is an interesting drive.. it's a 20 gig with only one side of the platter used.. quite odd really. Might have been a way to use up a large batch of faulty 20 gig platters... the drives themselves are reliable tho..

More than likely this is a xbox 360 post in the wrong section. When i saw this thread i didn't reply for just this reason...

for your 360 answers

20 gig- basic memory pretty much just to download the update and some dlc from xbox live.

60 gig- mid range upgrade, for someone who wants to install some games to their hard drive but not go all out and buy the 120 gig.

120 gig- largest you can get (for now), for someone who wants to install and download everything they can.

Make sense?
