Anyone on here ever upgraded their Xbox 360 Hard Drive where you didn't buy a MS one? I have seen some sites that have walkthroughs on how to do it, but I wasn't sure if anyone had any suggestions before I begin this process?

Reason - just installed 2 games on my 20GB one and am now out of room. Want to buy a cheaper 120GB or higher one to install into the orig HD case.

I have seen it done but don't think I would do it. I got a 120gig and still have 80gig free. Not sure how much the 60gigs are but that's what I would do.

This user thought of an idea for a new site feature which was later implemented.

I didnt know you could do that either, Sounds risky to me, i wouldnt want to risk losing all that save. How have you possibly used up all 20 gigs :O i have a 20 gig, over 30 arcade games and a lot of saves and i still have about 7 gigs free.

Personally i would just go buy a 60 gig

I have read this done as well; you need a very specific brand SATA hard drive for it to work. I have read through the steps the hassle it is to get this work correctly, you are better off shelling out the cash for an official Microsoft drive. Christmas is around the corner :rolleyes:

well i think this is a little risky. i have a 120 and i have 37gbs left(this is only because i never delete anything i have lots of demos and videos that are old and taking up space). the prices for the hard drives have dropped. the 120 is only $150 and the 60 is $100 and cones with a load of crap 4 live. i wouldnt trust stuff like that because it will almost definitely go against the terms of use and i dont know it you can be tracked down via Xbl
