I'd like to know how to spy a fake slim hdd, I might of bought one with my used slim not sure, but I would like to see pictures of the fakes and the real ones in comparison.
Other then the holographic sticker (if they include it on the Slim HDD) and the MS stickers on it, there is no visual way of telling.
You could pop in a original Xbox game and see if it boots.
if it doesn't, your HDD doesn't have the Xbox emulator stored so it's safe to say your HDD is a third party one.
Fake HDD's don't exist.
Nor do counterfeit HDDs... (correct me if I'm wrong pls)
Their not like flash media luckily.
HDDs are only made by MS which is the first party ;p.
Any other harddrive is made by a third party.
Much like those rubbish Madcatz controllers and what not.
Your HDD is a first party one or a 3rd party one with the emulator injected.
It doesn't matter if it's first or third party, they perform exactly the same (if they both have the same speed that is)
Also, in addition to the hardware stuff, if you go to the settings tab on your dashboard, go to console, and memory devices (or storage devices), at the bottom left or right of the hard drive selection should have the Microsoft logo. If it doesn't, then most likely it's not offical.I'd like to know how to spy a fake slim hdd, I might of bought one with my used slim not sure, but I would like to see pictures of the fakes and the real ones in comparison.

Oh, whenever stick a non-xbox hard drive in my 360 through the SATA port, it lets me use it and it just doesn't show the MS logo.Wrong.
I've got a HDDHackr hacked HDD and it displays the Microsoft logo.
The console checks for the security sector.
If it doesn't find it, it will refuse to use it.
except the hard drives in original xbox360s are made by Western Digital not microsoftHDDs are only made by MS which is the first party ;p.

thats why people could get larger WD hard drives and clone over from original HD to a larger one
