After having a 20gb drive for the last 4 years and getting annoyed about having to constantly delete stuff I did something about it. I purchased a nice 250gb laptop hard drive for £30 and used hddhackr on it to enable the 360 to use it. I think doing your own drive is the way to go, at the time Microsoft charged £89.99 just for the 120gig drive here in the UK, when 250gb 2.5" sata drives were retailing for around £30. These days you can purchase an official 250gig drive for the 360 for around £60, however you can still make one your self for half the price. This guide will show you how to do that, its worth mentioning that you can also hack a 20gb, 60gb and 120gb drives, however hacking a 250gb is the best value for money. Your hacked drive will work in both the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim and will not get you banned from Xbox Live. View: How to hack a 250gb sata drive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim Note: Assembler said it was ok to post this here. I have linked to my original post of the guide so I can update it at one central location, any questions feel free to ask.
you could of atleast moved the post from that site to this site... like i do when i move my tuts about
I don't see what difference it makes? i introduced it and explained my reasons. If people want to read the whole tutorial they can, if not then they don't need to.
Driving hits somewhere but I doubt that was your intention given I don't see any ads. I'm still curious if anyone was ever banned from Live for this, never heard of anyone confirming 100% that it has actually happened; rather that it *could* happen.
been running a hddhackr drive for atleast 4 years no bans from that only network manipulation XD and flashed drives on other machines
Someone just posted on X-H an method to change S/N of Seagate drives using the serial (serial as RS232) diagnosis port... :flamethrower: :evil:
Ive always wondered if MS could detect the hacked drives as the serial number would be the same for most of the 250gb hacked drives out there I imagine. I personally don't think Microsoft would ever ban for this, that's assuming they could detect the hacked drives. Loads are sold on Ebay as legit drives meaning many people with the intention of staying legit have a hacked drive in there console without knowing it. Unlike a flashed DVD drive this does not allow you to pirate games in any way, if anything you have the space to buy XBLA / Games on Demand games, DLC, Rent videos, and so on. In my opinion the more people that have large hard drives in the 360 benefits Microsoft, then again you could argue they loose out from people not paying £60+ for a 250gb drive.
