An end user lacks the tools and expertise to successfully replace any of the hard drive platters. In addition, even if you could do it, you would likely have another problem. The platters have to be low-level formatted before they can be used, and IDE/PATA/SATA/SAS drives lack the ability to correctly format platters in this manner. So this would require special equipment.

Then even if you could do all of the above, there might be differences in the metadata and firmware, and the platters still might not be compatible with the drive.

There are very little advantages to this but I belive that if you install a game to your hard drive your xbox will run a little cooler and if your disc shatters or breaks inside the xbox 360 itself then your data from your games is not lost and can be retrieved from your hard drive.
