Honestly, go for an Xkey.
It saves you the hassle of flashing it and allows you to play games off off an external HDD.

its more pricey to get the xkey and a external hdd then it is to get the drive from ebay, already got a XGD3 buner, and i got 22 DL DVD+R's Verbatim brand

thats why i wanted to know if i needed the probe

Hmm fair enough.

Uhm, that depends on your drive chip.
If you have a Winbond chipset, you'll need to drill into the chip.
If you got an MCIX, you'll need a Sputnik probe.

If you're buying a replacement PCB then you won't need a Probe anymore.
If you're buying a normal PCB then you'll need one since it locks itself after flashing.
