Guide to put a PC SATA drive into a Xbox 360

Hello again im back with a simple mod that idk why i haven't seen around at all...except for vids but no guides.

first the xbox 360 already has a normal sata data cable port but the dvd drives power cable is a 12 pin in a cubic form which isnt good if we want to make it work on a pc drive (sata).

here is the txt based guide:

Sata POWER black wire goes to pin 7

Sata POWER red wire goes to pin 12

Sata POWER black goes to pin 5

Sata POWER yellow wire goes to pin 8

the solider or twist wires/pins 6 an 4 together so it thinks its a normal drive eliminating the flashing green light every time the xbox 360 is used.

Photo guide below:

complete, wired pic

all wired and running with it placed on top so i can add a 3.5 sata under it pic

Thank you for your time MSaki
