Installation
Installation first requires you to take apart your original hard drive case to get to the actual hard drive inside
of it. Lay the unit on it's back and remove the four screws with the included screwdriver. The fourth sticker is
under a Microsoft sticker - so by removing it you'll instantly void your hard drives warranty.
Next remove the the top of the case by lifting up on it. Be gentle with it as you could lose the small spring that
controls the release button. Now you'll see the 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive, but it's covered by a metal plate which
you will need to remove by unscrewing it and then lifting it up with a knife as it's glued on.
Now just insert the metal casing that the hard drive is housed in into the bottom shell. Once this is completed you
can reassemble the case using the chrome parts and you're all done.
Usage
Well, there's not much to using the product. You just snap it back in your XBOX 360 and you're good to. All chromed
up and stuff. One slight issue is the fact it's pretty hard to insert and remove from an original XBOX case. Additionally,
it's even harder to insert/remove from XCM's Chrome Case.
Conclusion
Even due to the few flaws the case has it is easy to install, looks great and will impress your friends. Overall I'd
say it's a great compliment to your XBOX 360 especially if you're going to be installing a Chrome Case.
