What is this?
You own a XBOX 360 Arcade... after a month of ownership, you quickly realized that you missed a lot of features because you don't have a HDD for your Arcade!
There lots of good articles talking about what you are missing without a HDD. In summary:
- Cannot download Xbox Live® downloadable content
- You cannot play original XBOX games without a HDD
- Cannot save music and audio files
- ...
However you need to pay $150 to get a 120G HDD from MS! Not to mention that a 120G SATA HDD only cost your around $40!
You cannot just pop in a notebook SATA HDD to your arcade, because the XBOX 360 HDD has special security bit in it. Your xbox 360 won't read any HDD without this security bit. The second thing is, you need a HDD enclosure for your to attach the HDD to your XBOX 360.
Fortunately, thanks to hddhackr, a tool provided by TheSpecialist (TS), it can write the XBOX 360 HDD security bit to some Western Digital HDD, so you can use it in your XBOX 360. We have also stocked the XBOX 360 HDD enclosure (include all the hardwares).
In this tutorial, we will show you how to flash a Western Digital HDD to work with XBOX 360, then we will demonstrate how to install HDD to the enclosure we have provided online (at http://www.easymg.com and http://www.diygadget.com).
The total cost to have a $120G HDD for your XBOX 360 is only $70 - $80! That's almost 50% savings!
OK, let's get started!
