I got RRoD from a used hard drive I bought from GameStop

. Didn't connect the dots until I got my replacement and it red ringed almost immediately.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would the HDD cause your 360 to rrod? the cause of the RRoD was because of the 360 overheating (I think because of a shytty soldering job of either the processor or the heat sinks to the mobo), so I'm not sure how a detachable hdd would cause those issues.

I'm conflating the terminology (red ring), however the hard drive was causing some sort of error. I think only the top right light was coming on red vs the traditional red ring. When I put my original hard drive back in I didn't experience issues. But by that time I lobbied my mom for a new 360 and that's when the black ones were out.

Don’t quote my post unless you gone deal with the whole thing

the rest of it was irrelevant nonsense when you flat out admitted it IS a bad thing…some of y’all just argue for the sake of it…I eliminate that by getting straight to the point and cutting out the juelzing…it was a bad thing…the end.
