I have an RGH2 Trinity slim machine that was set up a long time ago which boots to Freestyle Dash. It has an internal 250GB HDD. My question is, what would be the best (optimal) way to upgrade the kernel and install Aurora and games onto this: I will be using a 2TB external USB drive and 750GB external USB drive for 360 games and XBLA (I'm not interested in emulators or OG Xbox games) and I don't want problems with multi-disc games. Thanks

USB loading is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, 25 MB/s iirc, the internal SATA bus is limited at SATA 1 but it's faster in theory already ;p

In the end, it's your decision but I'd vouch for upgrading the internal HDD.

For anyone curious, any of the internal HDDs, including the Elite and Launch editions, can be easily swapped without breaking anything. Those grey HDD units that slot onto the top of the launch white consoles can be opened easily. You just need to format the drive with a utility that will allow the 360 to read it. (I forget the utility or file system as it's been a minute, but Google lol)

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".

    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.
