Don't all the drives have a unique ID? So if you're copying from an existing, once MS finds that its a duplicate, they'll shut off that ID, thus.. only making this useful for people who never plan to connect to live. Which brings the point that.. well if you're not on live, why do you need more space, because you're obviously not downloading anything then.

That's XBOX1. The serial number of the HDD is stored in a table at MS with the serial number in the bin file on the motherboard EEPROM when you go online so that you can't change the HDD after you go online without changing the EEPROM serial number (new bin file).

No one knows about the 360, but with the removeable HDD enclosure, it would be hard to marry a HDD to an xbox when you could conceivably take you HDD to a buddy's house and play your game saves or downloaded content. That would really mess up the live database.
