I'm trying to buy a used 120 GB hard drive online. Many of the listings have photographs of HDDs which don't have a size etched on the top, but still claim to be 120 GB. Is that possible? Does anybody own an unlabeled 120 GB drive?

Edit: We can generally assume these have not been modified, imagine a semi-literate ebay seller.

You can install 3rd party hard drives just fine on the Xbox 360. If the above user did that it would be unlabeled.

So YES! it is completly possible tor a 120 GB hard drive to be unlabeled. If you want to do this your self, it is a very easy process. More information on that can be found here.

Good point! In my particular case, the seller replied to my inquiry with "there is a code on the back i searched it and it said 120 gb harddrive", so I'm guessing this one is unmodified. – Tyler Aug 10 '12 at 16:23

This is not a definite answer, but this seller eventually realized he was mistaken about the capacity. If you're looking to buy a used HDD, you should be extremely skeptical if there's no label on the metallic strip and it's advertised to be more than 20 GB.
