Hey,

I am getting my xbox chipped next week and i want a bigger hard drive and the installs charge way to much for my liking. So i remembered that svp are selling hard drives quite cheap heres the link to the one i want. Here (http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/Hardware_Section__.html)

its the {HA 4074} 3.5" DiamondMax Plus 9 80GB ATA/133 HDD/2MB buffer

i wondering if it would work?

40gb is TINY, ... I have a 120gb and I'm basically out of room already. I have less then 20 gbs left, and I've only had it for less then a month!

lmao, I was very surprised when I just read it.

I have a 160 gb hdd, only have around 15 or 16 games on it, and a bunch of movies. I used well over 40gb already. You automatically lose 8gb to the c,e,x,y, and z partitions when you first format.

Well, I've seen 160gb seagate hdd's (7200rpm 2mb cache) for less than $100, USD though. 120gb hdd is probably standard though, for a 15 game library and a bunch of music.
