Hey there, XIxBloodShotxIX.
This drive model isn't external actually. It's a WD Blue drive, which is an internal HDD. I guess you could probably use it with an external enclosure or a SATA to USB adapter with an Xbox. Although I think the drive needs to be formatted by the console before you're able to use it with it properly.
Would you please post a screenshot of what you see in Disk Management about this HDD and its partitions when you connect it to a copmputer? You could download DLG (Data Lifeguard Diagnostics) and run both tests (Quick and Extended), to see if any errors or bad sectors pop-up. Here's how to do that: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=6X6oIm
Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

I have pictures, but the xbox it is connected to is a modded xbox. It runs, I have memory when it is mounted to the xbox, but the computer just will not detect it. What can I do to be able to transfer files from the laptop to the WD Blue.

Well it really sounds like it has something to do with the way the console formats the drive. If you can post Disk Manager's screenshots with the drive connected, it might shed some light on what's happening. Otherwise, I'd suggest that you get in touch with Xbox's customer support for further information on how to solve this issue.
