what is the largest size drive for an Xbox

(considering using it as a digital audio machine)

Thanks

 

it can handle anything now highest i have seen put on one is 500 GB though...

 

I don't own an Xbox, but if it's 500 Mb, that must via an external hard drive; and what sort of input on the Xbox - is it USB or Firewire in?

 

its IDE they are internal HD not external.....

 

highest ive heard was 3000GB i was like wtf...
i highest ive seen was 400GB

 

I use a 300 gig maxtor but I wish I had a 500. I'm already out of space!

 

so with your 300gb harddrive, did you use a modchip?
I was wonderin, because I dont feel like putting a modchip in, but I want to have a 400 gb harddrive, so i was wondering if you dont use a modchip, are all dashboards comapatible with such a big hdd? what dashboard do I use that is able to read the entire size of the hdd (evox, xbmc, unleash)?

 

u just find a spare HD from a computer and add it to ur xbox...
and yes all dashboards are compatible with a bigger HD its basically the same as the stock drive..

 

but without a modchip, dont you basically need everything from your old drive on the new one. Your not expanding the stock drive with another drive, right?

 

u can install a bigger HD with soft mods here's a TUT...

I've been doing a bit of research on this subject myself and I have found that Softmodded xbox's will only allow 137Gb max!? Is this true?

 

yeah, what he said

 

No....ive seen soft modded xbox's with 3 HD inside and over 300GB of memory which is unbalivable...

 

Also, is the tutorial for the Softmod upgrade exactly the same for a Hardmodded Xbox?

 

lol....
to upgrade on a softmodded xbox just follow this link...

Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial
NOTE**
Also, if your HD is OVER 137 gigs, you'll need to format the remaining space with UnleashX for it to be available once you're finished the upgrade.

With a hardmod to upgrade the Drive all you have to do is put it in along with the AID 3.0 disc were u will be prompted to format the drive....

 

what do you mean format the rest with unleashx how do i do that

 

Fantastic! Ok, just to recap for all those playing at home...

* Softmodded Xboxs can use more then the 137Gb limit after you format the remaining HDD space with UnleashX.

* Hardmodded Xboxs only require you to simply replace the drive with the newer, larger drive and boot with AID 3.0 disc

Is that all correct?

To format your drive to allow the remainder of your space to be useable using UnleashX...
