Hi eveybody so all is in the title.
I still have my HD of 60 Go and i find it's very small, i would like put a very bid hard drive on my console. Do you know what is the size limit, i've already see 350 Go HD but bigger than i don't know.
If 1 To is too big, a 500 Go one could works ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Honorbrachios! The size limit on the XBOX is around 2TB (2000GB) so you can put a hdd in the xbox which is around 500GB without any problems. I have a modded xbox with 1TB hdd which works like a dream

I did the same thing, 1TB with a similar converter/bridge board. Usually most Western Digitals work very well, I have a Caviar Black and works perfectly. I heard a few Seagates may have issues at times, so best bet on durability and locking is probably Western Digital, to my opinion.

The only downside is the bridge board usually takes longer to load up the hard drive, also considering the size of the drive, it only takes about 20 extra seconds for the Xbox to start, but everything after that is perfect and fast.

Also, depending on the size of drive that you get, don't forget to format it with the appropriate cache size before you put anything on it, otherwise it will eventually crash on you...

My 1Tb had a 64k cache, smaller sizes require smaller cache, if you have the latest version of XBPartitionner (found on AID 4.30 or higher) , it formats it automatically to the size needed

i think western digital works the best i found a 160 gig WD1600 hdd in a dumpster outside a computer repair shop and it works fine i only had one bad WD mess up on me and a 40 gig maxtor D740X-6L that i bought that was trash that i use as a paperweight i know a guy that can chip a xbox to use 4 hdds at once it needs a ram upgrade i think thats the only thing i need to learn how to do i suck at soldering

Don't be a menace like me!!!

Those converters are really cheap... it works good (it does the job) but especially those from China, they're especially cheap lol

I think mine started to give out 2 days ago... but it seems fine now, my xbox was just in a bad mood that day

If you get one of those, make sure you get a more reliable one with a decent solder job, because if the solder is not done properly, it can die out

Hmmm i would like to replace my WD500AAKS (IDE) drive with a WD 1TB SATA Drive or a Samsung SpinPoint 1.5TB. Maybe i can find one of those adapters for a nice price on ebay.

My 500Gb is currently full so having one of my WD 1TB drives in there would be wonderful

I'm happy to tel you guys that it worked. First i forgot to lock the HDD resulting into an error messege. But shortly after i found out what the problem was i got it up and running.

I just put XBMC on there which is running fine now. Basicly all that's left now is to upload all the games back to the XBOX. That's gonna take a while
