So yeah Im thinking of buying a Xbox slim 4gb then hack it to 500gb to play games from hardrive.
The question is that what type does it use? Whats the best? Who has done it? Is it SATA or ATA or a different type?
I cant find the information anywhere any help would be appreciated.
-
erm i dont no if this will help you but on friday i modded my hdd off the old xbox 360 its a little hardrive made by samsung so im guessing its the same thing can you open the xbox and take a pic of the drive?
-
nope you want to use a DOS program called HDDhackr google it there are thousands of tutorials
-it uses a select few western digital scorpio laptop harddrives (this is very specific you cannot just use any harddrive)
-all of the compatable harddrives will peform pretty much the same
- i did it about 12months ago but only 250gb with a regular xbox
however i do not have a slim so i do not know if the 4GB slim has a 4GB harddrive(seems odd), or just an empty hdd slot and 4gb of onboard flash memory. if it is the latter then you will not have a hardrive shell to hack and your new 500gb hdd will not be plug in 'n' play
EDIT: unless you have found some awesome way of hacking slims you cannot use a 500GB only a 250GB
but i think you need to chill out because i just happen to be an imature child.
-
Uhhhhh that won't be possible since the slims are not jtaggable. For an xbox to be jtagable, it needs to have a 7371 dash. Regular Xboxes can only read a 250gb hard drive. And you can't play games straight off the hard drive without it being jtagged.
-
@crazy modder you can use hddhackr to make laptop hdds recognisable as official ms ones
-
Yeah I know, but only up to 250gb. But you still need a jtag xbox to play games straight off the hard drive
-
well actually you can also do that without a jtag, you still need the disc in the dvd drive but itwill run of the hdd
-
lol i know...i figured the dude was talking about playing "straight off the hard drive" meaning no disc in the tray
-
i thought the only way to add a hdd is if you jtag??
and i dont think you can jtag the new xbox slim
-
I bought it, and I know it cant be Jtagable until some Pro HACKs it.
I have a question to who ever wants to answer it.
WILL ANY LAPTOP HARD DRIVE WORK.
P.S THE XBOX HAS 4GB ON BOARD MEMORY AND NO HARD DRIVE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE A WASTE. I REALLY CANT BE BOTHERED TO PAY FOR GAMES SO I JUST WANNA HACK IT

however this wont let you play pirated games and if this is all you wanna do i cannot help you any further
-
No not just any laptop hdd will work only specific western digital Scorpio drives will work (as stated before.
Oh and moderator either lock or take action for blatant discussion of intent to commit software piracy...
