Install an SATA drive in your 360

Xbox modders extraordinaire, Xbox-Scene, have posted a method for installing an SATA hard drive into your 360. Before you run out to buy a 100GB hard drive to slap into your 360, you should know there are a few caveats. First, it must be a Western Digital BEVS brand hard drive. Second, you're still limited to 20GB of space (essentially, the hack copies the ID information from an official hard drive). Also, it's not a one click solution, so you'll need some technological know-how to make this work. In fact, just looking at the instructions makes us nervous. Still, if you've got the L337 5K1LLz and you don't want to waste 100 bucks on an official Microsoft drive, you may want to check it out.It's worth noting that when Microsoft releases a larger hard drive, the hack will be able to utilize the same amount of space.

The mod community is getting there.
Also, saying "An" instead of "A" makes me want to vomit again. I'm sick this morning.

Yeah sure this sounds great. But if MS can ban you for doing this then its really not worth it.

Seriously, post a job offer on Craig's List for AN editor.

OH KNOEZ DA GRAMM3R POLIZE I5 HEEERE RUN RICARDO RUN!
It seems kinda pointless at the moment, although if Microsoft charges 200 bucks for their 100gb HDD then this method will save the person alot of money.

Actually, if you were to say S..A..T..A, you would indeed use "an" and not "a".

Edwin: That's exactly what I was thinking.... It's an acronym...

"5. Actually, if you were to say S..A..T..A, you would indeed use "an" and not "a"."
I wonder if Ben is going to be as unreasonably suggestive towards his own post as he was towards Richard's.
My guess... is no. It was a tough one.

Yes! Yes, my minions, defend me! DEFEND MEEEEEE! Muahahahahaha!
Seriously though, I do say S.A.T.A. Hence, "an."

Parvin theres no way M$ could ban you ^_^ to them it looks like there HD is on the 360 :D

So basically it's a waste of time.

It would be foolish to attempt this before the increase capacity could be put to use. The drive could considerably less expensive by the time that happens, making a purchase now a waste of money.

Couldn't they somehow reformat the harddrives to be 5 20GB harddrives? atleast to the 360 make it look like there are 5 20 gigs hooked up if you know what I mean...
