If you’re old 120gb is full, transfer time could be longer of course. The process shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes really, but it all depends on how much stuff you have to transfer to the new drive. The idea is to keep the cost down here of course. If you don’t have a hard drive on your Xbox 360 though you can get just a housing cheaply on Ebay, but of course the cost of this modification will rise slightly. This guide assumes you already have a hard drive on your Xbox 360 as you’ll be using the hard drive housing from it. Step by step guide to upgrading your Xbox 360 hard drive Now that’s out of the way let’s get into the guide part. We also have nothing to do with Microsoft, nor is doing this supported by them. Again though, we’re not responsible for anything that might or could happen if you follow this guide. All you’re doing is replacing one hard drive with another and not voiding warranties or modifying your console. As far as I know, Microsoft is more concerned about actually hacking of consoles where you can play backups and illegal games and cheating, this is none of that. As of now though I haven’t heard of anyone having any issues through doing this. You might wonder if your console could be banned because of this ‘hack’, there’s no definite answer, anything can happen. I’ve done it myself and know other people that have and it works if followed correctly. I/We are not responsible for anything that happens to your equipment or accounts as a result of following this guide. Today I’m going to show you, step-by-step, how to take one of those $45 hard drives and get it to work with your Xbox 360, essentially saving you about $90.ĭisclaimer: This guide is just a guide on how to do this. Is that fair? I don’t think so, and neither do most people out there. Then I went and looked at the bare drives, a 250gb will cost you around $45, so that’s about $90 that Microsoft is charging you for the plastic casing essentially, more than that actually since they don’t pay retail price for the drives like we do, they get a nice bulk discount. I stopped over NewEgg and found the 250gb Xbox 360 hard drive going for about $132 with shipping. The Xbox 360 recently was upgraded to allow for a capacity up to 250gb, but Microsoft charges a ridiculous amount of money for their ‘official’ hard drive upgrade. To start this off with I’ve got a guide to help you save some money, about $90 to be precise. We’re going to be doing computer basics along with other tech related guides and articles. Here at DIY Guides we’re going to be getting into some tech related things along with our regular home improvement articles and guides.
