Seagate 500 gig hard drive 7200 rpm

I realize that the rpms are high. Normally need 5400 to keep it cool. I plan on getting better fans for the xbox 360 fat. My question is since the hard drive on my xbox is as small as a laptop. I notice that the same thing on the xbox hard drive. They recommend only wd or scropo (sorry forgot the name.) for the hard drive. I want to know if there is a way to hack the hard drive of my 500 gig seagate to make it work with the xbox 360?

No you can not. Get a 500GB Western Digital Cavier blue and you'll be fine.

Those are expensive. Just try'n to work with what I got. Wish I could check out my sons hard drive to see if it is wd.

The HDD in the 360 is a 2.5in model. The Caviar series HDD's are 3.5in so that won't work. The Scorpio series are the only ones supported for the 360 fat.

isn't a 7200 rpm going to make the xbox work harder?

No. It'll just be a little faster, depends if the motherboard has the power to use it.

It is the fat version of the xbox360


Also where can I get a jtag for the xbox360? I looked on a few sites and they are out of stock if any recommendations please?


What would it do if I inserted the hard drive to the xbox if anyone has tried?
