Xbox360 1TB SDD Upgrade on RGH2 

😂👍

😂👍

I would love more but the are getting expensive

Getting a newer version is well worth it it ads so many features when you mod it

Backup and restore for me was a pain in the behind and you could not see what it was doing so I would do the same as me configure the new drive and mount your old drive on a pc with the software shown and transfer the files manually I found that better for me I could see what’s going on and if it had not froze up or crashed I found the transfer speeds better also but it will take a while with 1Tb You can go to 2tb on external if I remember right so you could have 3tb with no issues if it’s a fast drive Good luck

Even with RGH you have to format the drive on the Xbox and assign the Xbox key ( the one behind the usb flap) to get it to register on the Xbox or use fatxplorer to format it I would use fatxplorer to format the drive and copy over your data or add new files as you need them

Is you console RGH modded ? If it is try another drive If it’s not it will not work

I’ll put it on my list

Thank you! Cheers!

A Samsung 870 QVO 1tb and I plugged it into the Xbox first to format it then into a pc to copy and configure the drive

If you Google that drive Argos selling them for £60

If I don't need any old gamesaves and other stuff from my old hdd, can I just put the ssd inside the xbox without doing anything with a computer? Will it work just normally?

Yes it will work if you pair it to your Xbox as shown on the video it will just be a blank drive

@@TheVetUkThank you so much.

Have you had a look at faxplorer

Have you tried it actually in the console bay and formatted it if that’s ok it might be the usb to data connector that’s the issue I would try that first

Don't forgot you MUST have you console RGH'ed

@@TheVetUk it does not even show up even with no partition

@@itsandyfs is there a video on how to do that?

Have you got another drive to try it might not be compatible

Should be able to

If your console is standard ie not RGH modded it will never see it internally only external storage if in a usb caddy If it is modded try formatting it with fatxploter

Great tip especially if the sticker is knackered👍

All 360 consoles except the xbox360 e Winchester board can be RGH modded and use an SSD internally

I have transferred anything I wanted to so I see no reason this would not work 👍 the xbox360 will play mp4 as long as you use the right codec

Without RGH it’s difficult to get above 500 GB internal as the HDD has to be specially set up if you have RGH it will be easy to setup up a large drive stock 360 will not see a blank SSD 👍

I would try another adapter or drive first they should have detected it

It’s a complex process and only works with certain drives but you can add a 500gb drive but maybe things will change in the future

At the moment no only RGH modded consoles work with SSD’s and bigger drives

If it is RGH or JTAG modded you show be able to upgrade the drive to 2TB unless you do someother stuff on fatxplorer to allow bigger drives You could get a trial version of faxplorer to format the drive first before you put it in then see if that works👍

They are not & FatXplorer has been of little use :(

If they are not RGH then it’s difficult but not impossible to replace the drive but it might be better to get your console modded

Not Happening

What does rgh mean?​@@TheVetUk

To make an SSD work you need a Reset Glitch Hack done on your xbox360 at present no other way to get the Xbox to see the drive as Microsoft locked the drives they made Is your console modded ?

@@TheVetUk no, but can I just format the SSD to fatx with a PC and a USB to SATA cable to get it to recognize?

@@Chagrin223 if it’s retail you would have to use a clone method with a western digital HDD and it’s a pain to do better off getting it RGH modded it’s so much better

@@Chagrin223 fatxplorer is ok if you want to back up your drive or mod a modded drive

@@Chagrin223 you could use external but it’s slow and not great for games

@@Chagrin223 you can get a 500gb drive as Microsoft did a retail one

@@TheVetUk so if I upgrade to the 500gb Microsoft unit, it would come with data transfer cable I'm guessing? I'm just trying not to lose anything I already have saved.

Karaoke unit 👍

Is the console retail or modded ?

Yes you can install the SSD but you will not be able to transfer all you data you can swop some over but not all and definitely not add a new dash or load games straight from the drive you would still have to use your disc to run them You can use a USB to SATA transfer cable to move files over but you are limited

​@TheVetUk I really need some help. I have a Samsung SSD 500 GB Evo. And I transferred all my stuff using a transfer cable and all of my games transferred. And the SSD works plugged in with a USB to sata But that is very slow because the Old USB slows down the SSD. But through Sata it's supposed to be faster. So I plugged in the ssd Internally through Sata But it won't detect the SSD. And I bought a computer recently But all of my stuff transferred so I don't think I need it unless it will it help me have my SSD get detected?

@@OldMinecraftIsBetter is your 360 RGH modded? The 360 will not see it if it’s not because it’s not formatted correctly and the file system is not on it SSD on a 360 is not for speed it’s for seek time and reliability the 360 transfer rate bottlenecks the SSD If your not RGH modded your stuck with external unless you do some special mods to a western digital drive 👍

@@TheVetUk How do I RGH, and when plugged in with the USB externally It is slower than my hard drive originally in it. But the SSD is not just for speed, I didn't want my Xbox crashing like it normally does. And When SSD externally plugged in with USB It crashed and froze, and the loading times were really bad. It took 4 minutes to load Minecraft When SSD was plugged in using USB But with hard drive used internally it loads in 20 seconds. The USB is a big bottle neck. Does using RGH mean I have to get rid of my gold subscription.

Reset Glitch Hack (RGH) is a hardware modification which allows you to run unsigned code, mods, game backups, and homebrew Have a read of this site xbox360hub.com/guides/rgh-3-guide/ It’s not for everybody but is great when you have it it opens up the 360 to loads more features 👍

Hi The biggest internal I have seen is 2TB and I believe due to the file format that’s as high as it can go unless someone has hacked it lately but I’ve not seen anything But you could also go with external to add extra storage I have seen these up to 8TB so you could use that as external storage Cheers

Think the biggest Microsoft did was 320gb

@@TheVetUk it was actually 500gb, that’s what I have right now. But I ask because I’m kinda confused, in your video you say on your retail 360 you can put up to a 1TB as long as it’s formatted, maybe I misunderstood?

Ah is it the s model I think they had a 500gb I remember know 👍 there is work around ratxplorer that is trying to get bigger drives to work on retail systems but at the moment 1TB is only on a RGH modded console But I’m sure someone will figure it out Cheers 🍺

@@TheVetUk what if I tried a 500GB SSD? Will that work? Or does it still needs to be modded in order to use any kind of unofficial Xbox drive?

Unfortunately not only specific drives work from western digital to use an SSD it needs to be modded but things might change in the future

archive.org/details/XBOX_360_1. Or just google xbox360 roms internet archive 👍

Yes you can but not really worth it as the transfer speed of the Xbox will not make use of the SSD as you use a SATA to ide converter to use a modern drive Yes you will need to soft mod or hard mod your console first to use another hard drive as they are locked

I believe kwcdata meant original as not modded xbox 360. I have the same question. I would not like to make any modifications to the motherboard. I have heard from multiple sources, that the xbox 360 will not let you format the ssd, unless it is rgh modded.

Sorry it does not work on unmodded console but you can do it by setting up a new drive on a pc with a bit of work maybe I should do a video on it ?

@@industriastroll3177 that’s a great question I have swopped drives between machines and it’s been ok but they were retail never done it in a RGH I would have to try it

If you can run a custom dashboard with it then yes they all allow custom code to be run jtag is soldering and a custom dashboard while RGH is reprogramming the NAND so both end up doing the same RGH is more modern

@@TheVetUk I mean can you use the SSD without CFW (aka can I use this on a unmodded system)

@@dublxml no this only works on a modded Xbox you can make a replacement drive for retail but its uses a very specific drive and is a pain to setup but faxplorer may one day be able to format a drive to allow us to make one but not yet

Hi to have higher capacity internally yes RGH is the only way atm Microsoft only released up to 500GB HDD’s to market and the security sectors have not been available for higher capacity drives and only with western digital drives I have been looking into this with the a beta release of Fatxplorer 3.0 so things might have changed You can go up to 2tb externally and maybe more with little difference to internal speeds as the SSD is strangled by the 360’s slower data throughput RGH is a pain to do but welll worth it imo I’ll keep looking and maybe do a video if I can get it to work 👍

⁠ So if I use a 500gb SSD, then I don’t have to RGH, right?

@@tekzilla1354 you only have two options 1. Buy a Microsoft 500gb hdd or 2. Make your own as I know it at the moment but I am looking into it to see if anything has changed Or use external usb drive, the problem is the encrypted security sector as Microsoft never released a drive over 500gb no sector information is available to put on a bigger drive, It was Microsoft’s way of making you buy there drives so in theory you can use a 500gb drive with non RGH but you have to be carful what drive you use as the Xbox might not accept it Western digital drives were used by Microsoft so I would use one of them as the security sectors will match better but no guarantees But a lot of people asking this that’s why I’m doing some more research so I’ll keep you posted 👍

RGH = Reset Glitch Hack so it sounds ok if your running dadhlaunch and it boot nice and quick you should be ok As for the freezing and crashing have you ran a normal game from disc does that run stable as a standard Xbox ? If it does then it’s the fact your messing with the games files and just trial and error to get that to work If the disc based games crash and freeze then you might have a hardware issue like the hard drive Let me know on the above 👍
