#Hard drive for xbox 360 s update#
The latest update was very sneaky, so be safe. I do not know if the latest Xbox dashboard can do silent scans for this and ban you accordingly.In this Null Byte, let's go over how we can hack a cheap alternative hard drive to work with our Xbox 360s. The only thing that makes a 360 HDD unique from others is a special secure file system and sector, so we can essentially hack other hard drives to do the same thing. On the other hand, Xbox 360 had very impressive hardware specs back in the day, equipped with a triple core CPU, which was unheard of at that time.
You can buy a removable 2TB external for only $100 USD, so it's a little beyond my comprehension to see how they calculate their MSRP to yield such a large profit. Storage space, especially on HDDs, is cheap. OEM 250GB HDD models still cost $110 USD! A 250GB hard drive should not destroy my wallet, Microsoft. Since the day of the Xbox 360 release, storage space for the device has been overpriced beyond belief.
