Smashing Pumpkin Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 These are extortionate prices on eBay, surely someone has one here, if you post it out to me I will post it straight back as soon as I've used it as I plan on buying a 60GB HDD from eBay to replace my current 20GB HDD. Oh yeah, and it has to be one that works with the 60GB HDD as I hear some only work with the 120GB HDD. That's a lot of typing GB HDD for oen post but yeah, can anyone help me, please? Thanks in advance, Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you pay for their postage and maybe slip them a ?10 or something?:pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah, I'd maybe be willing to do that. But scratch that after all, I don't have enough money after all to go buying over-priced Hard Drives at the moment, but I may need this in the future. I think that, as the microsoft gaming community is so strong here on neowin we should definately have a transfer kit that we share around with people just paying for postage, it'd be really nice if someone gave up their kit for this cause after they'd used it.

Lingwo Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If you have a PC and have SATA on your motherboard you could just spend ?30-?35 on a 120GB drive and you can do all the transferring from your PC. If not i'm sure there is a nice neowinian who would do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a picture of their, or someone else';);) Xbox 360 with a modded Hard Drive on it, just so I can see how good/bad it actually looks. (I realise it looks a lot better in your wallet than when you buy the official HDD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckempo Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I had a 60GB drive for Christmas. Borrowed the transfer kit off my brother - he got his when he bought his 120GB drive - and it didn't work. I called Microsoft and explained the situation, that having a 60GB drive and the older transfer kit didn't seem to work - and they sent me the transfer kit for free in the post. And it worked perfectly. Give them a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks for the feedback ckempo :) If I were to mod the HDD. You don't have to send the HDD in with the console for repairs do you? You don't have to buy anything other than the 120GB WD HDD do you? And can you still use the 20GB HDD afterwards (i.e. sell it on eBay?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have two transfer kits, but I believe that they are only compatible with the 120GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 They're compatible with all HDDs. They come with the 120GB and Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modding the hard drive, it just goes into the original 360 HD case so it looks no different. It isn't like some dirty selotape job and you can still use the 20GB afterwards just it won't have the case so selling it wouldn't get you much. The 360 breaks you just send the console back in without the hard drive. Mine broke a couple of weeks ago and i just sent back the console. Yes, all you need is the WD Scorpio drive to do it (other than the SATA port in your PC) and a few downloaded files that are easily available. It is very easy to do. Took me less than an hour to do.
