Xbox SoftMod or Modchip?

[shawnunder7]

   Hello all,

    I am looking for some advice on which road to go down when modding my original xbox. I have read a lot and have done the softmod on a previous console, but with this new console i have, i am looking to upgrade the HDD without any issues such as locking and stuff. I was reading on other websites that a benefit of modchipping was that you could use literally any HDD you want and all you would need to do is swap and nothing else. (I don't know if that still is true) I'm not looking for a too big hdd, probably something around 150-250GB, so which route do you guys think would be simplest for me to go down? Thanks for anyone that gives advice, as i greatly need it!

there are so many hdds that are compatiable , you will need to have one that unlocks and locks and you need to know what version xbox you have  here is a list on a very good site for hdds  so many to list it was easier to show you on another site. which i hate having to use other sites but its faster for people to read about

i also asked same questions if you read here

softmod is  pretty easy also. since your wanting to add a bigger hdd you will need to unlock and lock the hdd to build new hdd for the console before softmodding.
