    First time posting here,

    Im sure this has been answered many times before and google is giving me two answers. Looking at buying the basic 4gb xbox 360 tomorrow, will my 20gb hdd from the original xbox 360 from 2005 work on that?

    Assuming you mean the newer 4gb slim then no , the drives are totally different.

    If you don't play online or want to install games to your HDD then it should be.

    A lot of game patches for online nowadays are pretty big. BF3 patches are 1GB+.

    If you're an online gamer I would suggest paying the extra money for the 250GB HDD or try to get it online for cheaper.

    Is it not posssible to remove the casing from the old drive and then use the HDD in the newer models?

    The newer HDD's are totally different from the old ones.

    Yes - it's what I'm using. Once you dismantle the outer shell, the physical drive inside is a SATA HDD that can slide right into a slim.
