Change internal hard drive to my RGH modified fat xbox360

[Tackskull]

Hi there,

my fat xbox360 got a RGH mod. Sometimes the console it takes a lot of time to turn on, even waiting some minutes sometimes.

I would like to speed up the console by insert an SSD internal drive. Since I did not personally mod my xbox360, I don't know how to bring all the files, custom firmware and games that are in the internal drive to the new one.

Is something I can do my self or it require some specific skills?

Thanks

This has nothing todo with your drive. The boot time depends on the used rgh method and used glitchchip. E.g coolrunner modchip is a fast one and Ace modchip is very slow especially on the third version of the XBox 360.
There exist a instant boot RGH 3.0 mod for the XBox360 which uses the own graphic chip of the console, check this thread.

The system won't benefit from an ssd anyway.

Replacing a HDD with an SSD is possible.

Yes, but it won't increase speed nor does it have trim, so an ssd is more likely to fail than an hdd.

The only way that SSDs are more likely to fail is either the SSD uses fake/faulty chips or if improperly used.

I stand behind what I said.

Ok. I accept that.

Sounds like a wiring issue yeh.

Changing the HDD for a SSD works but as godreborn said, no TRIM etc.
Games do load a little quicker if you're using folder rips due to the amount of small files but in general, the speed increase is negligible, 360s are stuck at SATA 1 or 2 speeds.

I see. I was originally going to install a 1TB SSD into my Xbox 360 once I have modded it.

I'll probably replace the HDD in mine with an SSD in the future one day as well.
For me, SSD lifespan doesn't really matter as I don't use the system much anymore.

Edit: if anything, I'm just future proofing it.

Well, ssds are shorter, so you might be able to fit an 8tb+ internally for that new patch to use up to 16tb. Over 2tb with an hdd is too large height wise. I think it needs 9.5mm, but it's possible to use 12.5mm without the cradle for the hdd.

FATXplorer does support formatting 16TB for use with the Xbox 360.

Oh, I thought it was a nand patch.

It is. You need to re-flash the NAND with a new xeBuild image containing the patches.

Does it allow fat32 or fatx only or both?

Both?

 

[Sypherone]

Thx for the info, link to the Source for details of the Nand patch.

I first got to know about this through MrMario2011's Mod Chat video on it. Very impressive to see that the Xbox 360 scene is still kicking.
