Hello, just got my console jtagged. Does someone know if or has someone successfully fit a 1 tb 2.5 drive in the oem hd shell? Reason asking is because once you get over 250gb, the size of the hd increases from 9.5 mm to 15 mm. Looks like it would fit but just wanted to ask around first...

thanks!

Guess there aren't many jtag fans around here?

Cool, thanks for the replies, I ordered the hd anyway. I'll make the bastard fit lol.

I was going to get the 3.5 hd, hence more space but for me personally, i only go for the games that are worth playing for the 360 and imho 1 tb can hold this quantity with room to spare.

Plus i like the stock look;)

Er, would that be the Seagate or WD 2.5" 1TB? If so, I'm sorry to inform you that those are actually...non-SATA-compatible. They have no SATA interface built into the drives (they're specially made), and if memory serves, inside those casings the drive have another mini-USB slot (and the outside case has the micro-USB). All told, they can only be used as external drives. You can't even take them out and place them into your laptop.

If not, then cool, didn't know 1TB 2.5" exist already. I just read about them today, so :p

Edit: I guess you can still use it as an external for 360, because I keep hearing people say usb hhd. I like to have all my stuff attached to the 360 (so just the hdd on the 360), I've had enough of loose parts, carrying around my laptop and usb stick and 2.5 hdd (one for quick file transfer and assignments, the other for archiving) and the wire and ipod wire. Not all that on my day to day, but just having all those laying around on my desk is annoying enough.

I appreciate the info, but how is this not SATA compatible?

You can clearly see from the pictures of the back of the drive that's a SATA interface, and prior to purchasing the seller verified that it would work in either a notebook or a 360, however he warned me that it might be difficult to fit in the oem shell, but i will tend to that.
