Xbox hard drive upgrade
« on: 11 January 2012, 19:42 »
Operation 'installationz' complete in 30 seconds (wife wanted to do it, but told her it was complicated and that I'd best do it)  :grin: transferring from the internal 4Gb almost complete. Lovely jubbely.

Almost tempted to start buying these hard drives, take it out the caddy and flog them on as they're cheaper than normal 2.5" drives :shocked:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I even took a video, pre-empting such a silly question :kiss: Just need to edit the audio out of it as my daughter is saying "what's that? what's that? Is it broke? are you fixing it daddy?" :laugh:

Got a 4Gb xbox bundle with the Kinect last year, bought a 120Gb hard drive in a xbox caddy to slot in. Now I don't have to delete my saved games. and can have all my sh!t installed on it, like Forza content I had to skip out on (not that I played it much, but maybe I would have had I had better content) because I didn't have the capacity :smiley: and all the apps with the new xbox dashboard. and the emulation for original xbox games (Sega games pack here I come!)... the list goes on really :smiley: Got 4Gb on board, 120Gb showing as a proper hard drive in it now and the 512Mb Cloud storage. Sorted.


Saving / loading and even exiting / entering buildings in Skyrim is faster now  :shocked:  :cool:


The installation of the hard drive in this EggBox S is easy, turn upside down & slide button, pull up panel, insert drive, put panel back in place.
