rst123 2 Posted May 10, 2013 I have a Xbox 360 Corona 4GB RGHv2 with a 320 GB internal hard drive. FSD3 rev735 Dashlaunch 3.07 dash 16197. I want to change the internal hard drive. I have some questions regarding hard drives: 1. I heard that there may be problems if I use hard drives more than 1TB. Is that correct? 2. Can I use a 7200 rpm one or do I have to use 5400 rpm hard drive? Does an 7200 rpm hard drive make the console overheat? 3. Can you suggest me any 1TB and 2TB models? 4. Do I need to check for dimensions or will any 2.5 inch hard drive will do ? 5. After I install the new hard drive, I have to boot to NXE dash to format it, install avatars for my dash version and transfer all content from my old internal hard drive so that I will get all save games back. Am I missing any steps? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any 2.5" HDD will work but I would suggest you buy a Western Digital HDD cause they're very reliable. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prayer 49 Posted May 10, 2013 I use a WD 500 GB Caviar Blue HDD with a case that I've bought from amazon. Never had a problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESTE 6 Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, yeah, but what they didn't tell you is that you will not be able to use DLC from this HDD. You see normal HDD is not the same as Original Xbox360 hard drive. You need to hack this HDD with HDDHacker v1.30 and you need to use correct HDDSs.bin file. The highest HDDSS.bin for Xbox360 is 320 GB, so even if you use 1 TB HDD your console will recognize it as 320 GB only. Don't get me wrong. You can use bigger HDDs in your RGH/JTAG with all free space but as mentioned it will not be the same as Original Xbox360 internal HDD (You can't use DLC from this drives if they are not configured with HDDSS.bin). These are the HDDs compatible to use as Xbox360 internal HDDs: WD800BEVT - 80GB WD1600BEVT - 160GB WD2500BEVT - 250GB WD3200BEVT - 320GB WD1200BEVS - 120GB WD2500BEVS - 250GB WD1600BUDT - 160GB WD2500BUDT - 250GB WD3200BUDT - 320GB WD1600BEKT - 160GB WD2500BEKT - 250GB WD3200BEKT - 320GB WD1600BPVT - 160GB WD2500BPVT - 250GB WD3200BPVT - 320GB WD1600BJKT - 160GB WD10TPVT - 1TB So the best option is to Leve your 320 Internal HDD in your xbox and get another any bigger hdd, but connect it to xbox via DVD sata or USB.

I have seen youtube videos of people using 500GB+ internal hdds with their RGH xboxes and I read that HDDHackr is only for people who use retail hard drives for their unmodded xboxes. Now I am confused 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESTE 6 Posted May 11, 2013 But they are not able to use DLC from those drives. Try use DLC from USB drive and you'll see. Or try to play Xbox Classic game without original Xbox HDD inside console. There is no way to do that, not matter RGH or just flashed DVD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just plug it in and configure it in Metro/Nxe Dash.All DLC's and all Xbox Classic games will work just like they would work on a "normal" HDD.Source: My 500 GB HDD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESTE 6 Posted May 11, 2013 OK. I was wrong. My bad. I opened my Slim trinity and swapped original 250 GB HDD with my old 160 GB sata FAT32 formated HDD. It didn't work 'couse xbox had problem with powering this HDD, but I powered it from my PC and just plugged it Via SATA to XBOX and it worked. It looks like you can format in NXE any HDD up to 2 TB on RGH console and use It. Sorry for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rst123 2 Posted May 11, 2013 JTAG/RGH can have up to 2tb internal HDD Do you recommend 5400 or 7200 rpm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prayer 49 Posted May 11, 2013 The greater the rpm the faster it will load data. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rst123 2 Posted May 11, 2013 I guess cache size will also effect that. Higher rpm drives have more cache too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prayer 49 Posted May 11, 2013 It would be logical but it doesn't have to be that way. Either way I would go with the 7200 rpm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prayer 49 Posted May 11, 2013 I've beem using WD HDD's for years and they never gave me any problems. You should stick with WD even though a Rgh'd Xbox will accept any HDD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barelynotlegal 3 Posted July 25, 2015 bump. Lol Is it true i can upgrade to a 2tb and still have my dlc and avatar items? Confused a bit. Use nxe to format hdd. It will show all available memory or only 320 gigs? Got a 320 gig filled and need to ugrade. I was under impression i had to do it the ss.bin way. Would this any riskier on live? I know people say to have 2 hdds for that but i havent had a problem(owned it for 2 years now) How would i transfer it back since hdd is encrupted right?

Maximum size you can have on the internal HDD is 500GB at this time for live usage... <--- This is not live safe unless you get an official drive by Microsoft However, you can now (with the latest kernel/dashboard/update) use up to 2TB on an external harddrive <--- this is live safe 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barelynotlegal 3 Posted July 25, 2015 Nice.so if im running a dual nand, i can run "stock" internal, flip my switch and run rgh on external? Want it nice and clean, plan on getting a year of gold for the family. And i have kids &friends over all the time playing. So to be legit i have to clone it via ass.bin correct. And also want to say thanx. Seems as if your always around the corner. Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2077 Posted July 25, 2015 The internal HDD must have ss.bin written to it in order for it to function with retail... External can be used by any device without any problems... You can format an internal drive up to 2TB aswell for use only with RGH which is probably the safest method for a dualboot using external for retail and internal for RGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cannon_dt 0 Posted September 9, 2015 Hi, I need some help. I have a xbox slim and I am now trying to get an internal HDD in (to play xbox classic games and also games like Phantom Pain). I have a a Seagate laptop drive (120 GB) and I have a case for plugging in the HDD into the xbox. My question is when I get this drive recognized and in the NXE do a HDD format will I get the compatibility partition so that I can play the xbox classic game? Or do I have to get the partition in manually. I am confused as some people seem to suggest that a mere xbox format will get the new HDD ready for backward compatibility while others state that it is not the case. So how do I do this, please help me Peace Ananth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2077 Posted September 9, 2015 You need to read the guide in the tutorials section which explains how to get the Xbox Backwards Compatibility working Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
