Does playing Xbox 360 from the hard drive add life to the Xbox 360?

Not using the optical (DVD) drive means your using less power and taking less effort from the console ; that always leads to the console having a longer life cycle because it's not using as much energy as before .
So it's highly recommended to download the games that you play very often or for long periods of time on your hard drive .

What type of Xbox has the longest life?
The Xbox 360 Elite (120gb hard drive, 3.20 Ghz) has the longest life out of all the types of Xbox's. The Xbox elite has the second longest life but is not the same as the Xbox 360 elite because it has a smaller hardrive, lacks the same quality and runs slower.

Can you play Xbox games on Xbox 360 console?
The Xbox 360 is backwards compatible with certain games that were released for the original Xbox. And you have to have a hard drive for your Xbox 360. If you bought a Core system you can't play original Xbox games on your system until you pay another $100 for a hard drive. Which is why I suggest not getting a Core and sticking with the Premium system from the start if you can. The way the backwards compatibility software is updated on your system is done in a couple of different ways. If you have at least an Xbox Live Silver account, the update will download automatically when you try to play a BC game. Besides it being really convenient to be able to play both Xbox and Xbox 360 games on one system, playing Xbox games on your 360 has other benefits. Each and every compatible Xbox game will be upped to 720p/1080i resolution (assuming you have an HDTV) and will take advantage of full screen anti-aliasing. This makes the games look really, really good. The improvement is actually good enough it almost feels like a whole new experience so it can definitely add new life to your older Xbox games.

No it will have no effect on the life of the mechanical hard drive, the only difference is that the full speed of the USB 3.0 device data transfers (5 Gbps) will not be available, data transfers to and from the hard drive will happen at the slower USB 2.0 speed (about 0.5 Gbps).
