I have the red ring of death now ever since inserting the hard drive. It fits perfectly and I hear the click it makes when I insert it.

I never heard a clicking noise went inserting the hard drive into my new xbox360 E style. I put it in as soon as I got it fit perfectly it didn't make a clicking noise for me it fit just like using a flash drive in and out no problem.

I have no experience with that issue. The only thing I know is that this hard drive is specifically for the 360 SLIM, so if you are using it on a standard 360 that could be the problem; although I'm not a tech or a gamer. I bought it for my grandsons 360 Kinect Slim. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.

Does it work when you pull out the hdd? Even though it isn't a Microsoft certified it should still work 100%

I know that it doesn't come with any installation instructions. So what I did was go to xbox.com and get the proper procedure for installing a internal hard drive for the 360s So I would also suggest to turn off the xbox, remove the drive, reboot the xbox. If no red ring/s ,get proper installation procedure. If you still get red ring/s , go to xbox.com and find out what your problem is, as each additional red segment indicates a different problem.

I once had a G-Tech drive blow up...complete with smoke! They took the drive back and sent me a refurbished one.If you haven't called them, you should. I sent back the 4T I bought; I couldn't get it to turn on.

Mine does the same thing when running. Think it is directly connected to part of the drive assembly.

I am not sure. But like you I am also having problems with my hard drive. It has to be replaced.

I haven't noticed any "clicks". When I first boot the PC, you can definitely hear the drive power up and start to spin ,but no clicking.

Did you turn it on? Is it fully plugged into the drive? I had an issue with an older ISA/EISA drive not getting fully plugged in. If you are using one of the 3.5" drives you need to check to verify that it is powering up. No power means it is not working. If you hear the drive power up (you can hear it spin up) and it is fully connected is it making any other sounds like clicking? If so the drive itself may be dead. There are several tricks to try if that is the case but without more details of the issue I can't help much more.

I own both a 2TB & a 3TB drive from G-Tech. Both make the whirring sound starting up and shutting down. The running sound is not a factor for me as I have Tinnitus (ringing in the ears). However, what is a factor is failure of the power input. Both drives loose their power if the cord or the drive is even slightly moved. Neither has been plugged and unplugged in their lifespan. Neither has had abuse. Their is definitely a design flaw with this product. Since both are still in warranty, I have tried repeatedly to get any response from either the seller or from G-Technology. G-Tech says it is the seller's problem. The seller, Storite, won't even respond to inquiries.I would avoid this product. I own both a 2TB & a 3TB drive from G-Tech.

Glad you asked. Did the same thing to my disc as well, you have to tear the entire thing apart if you want your disc back. =[

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

I haven't had any problems like that up to this date. I was actually suprised by the quality of this hard drive because it looks like an exact clone to the Microsoft one. I know this doesn't really answer your question and that's because I haven't in countered your problem. I am not going to swear by this HDD as the reading might be your Xbox or might be the HDD if your looking to buy it do it. It's insanely great quality for the price.

I bought this enclosure when my ACER mother board died on me. The hard drive was OK. It was SADA and plugged right in. I had no problems transferring 150 Gs of data. It was much faster than my back up hard drive. I was happy to have been able to save all of my stuff.

Not sure never had this problem. Sounds like the drive cable/rod is not engaging.

Do you get blinking red lights? The exact same thing happened to me. It turned out that the HDD wasn't properly secured to the trey. Remove the HDD trey and reinsert it. That should fix the problem.

All I can say is, it is the same fit as any 3.5 inch computer harddrive. Hope that helps.

it depends how its formatted. If you have a PC, it might be formated for MAC (Mac OS Extended). To be seen and used by both a PC it needs to be formatted in PC version (Fat32 or ExFat). If your drive is clicking very loud its most likely dead.

I contacted my external hard drive mfg. (Seagate) via web & then called. They researched the item, gave me the model # for the item and recommended Amazon for best price!Received it quickly and am very happy!
