You have to be able to lock the drive if you want to load the default m$ dash and play xboxlive. Other than that none

Get a maxtor and there is a 98% chance your set. If its no lockable, then return it and try another. But most maxtors can be locked.

Yeah All of the maxtors I have used have been lockable. I think that all of the new maxtors are...
also, you might get banned from XBOX Live if you use a different hard drive other than the original retail.

I just installed a Samsung Spinpoint 160GB HD with the 8mb buffer and ATA133 tonight. It is lockable, and it seems MUCH faster than the old stocker. I downloaded one of my games to this drive in 18 minutes. When I put it on the old drive it took about 30-35. FTP transfers are much faster as well. I'm very pleased with it thus far. Just my $.02
