An example of good hardware design

Hard Drive

A friend has had to send his XBox 360 back to Microsoft for repairs, and the instructions for doing so recommended removing the hard disk first.

I had visions of taking the whole thing apart, as you would for a desktop or notebook PC but was very pleasantly surprised to find that this isn’t the case.

The hard disk fits on the top of the unit and is removed by pressing a button and lifting it from the case. Simple but effective.

Comments

Seems MS put all the effort into designing this rather than some decent cooling.
