hi how do i know if this drive will work in an xbox?


Hitachi 180GXP 80Gb 7200rpm ATA100 2mb Cache Hard Drive


if there is a way for me to find out, or if you know please post here

Yes it should work. There's nothing particularly unusual about it, why even question it?

i wasnt sure as i heard the drive needs to be lockable

Only if you want to use Live or be able to turn your chip off (For whatever reason).
