Lol these Hard drives cost the same amount of money as the 250GB Microsoft HDD.

The prices shot up like crazy.

Lol i just looked. You can get some off of ebay (where I got mine). It was a 120 GB for like 20 bucks :sunglasses:

Yep, do the the monsoon in tailand. Being that 25% of the worlds HDD’s are made there. Too bad SSD don’t work :sadface:

That does suck.:frowning:

Ok m8’s got a 500gb Scorpio this morning, used the hdhakr with the 320**.BIN, installed it in the 4gb xbox 360 slim, checked system/memory format it with xbox, took few seconds. The xbox 360 slim see it as a 293gb, result. Powered off wrapped up agai for the kids on xmas. I am so happy, all in all it took from flashing to format less than 5 mnutes :smile: 1 Q. I didn’t connect it with the internet, so do I need to up-date something or is it OK as is ?

I have a thread on this already… with the tut in the thread.

Yeap, it was your tut. I read & followed How to hack a 250gb or 320gb sata drive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim excellent, 1 thing I am sure I read some where the Dashboard should be up-dated before one puts the WD scorpio in ! is this correct !

It’s not MY tutorial, but heres the thread.

This does work, Im using it right now, paid 50$ for a 320GB western.

Thx for the info. as said I got the 500gb • WD Scorpio Blue Series BEVS/BEVT/BPVT which as from now, the max 1 can get from it is 293gb. I presume in a short time the HHSS.BIN will have bigger drives, can’t wait. I am not going to do anything furhter more with my kids xbox until it goes over the 1 year warranty. :smile: I done the same with Wii, 176 games on a USB :laughing: excellent, can’t wait until next year :smile:

Is there any advantages to this besides saving money with parts you already own?
I read that you cannot play xbox1 original games with flashed/modded etc console if you do not use the “Official” **** drive. Will these be easier to connect to PC than the official and add the partitions?
