I do have a 1.6 that has a bad optical drive.. I have the 6 games that I want on one other console can I FTP those?

I'll quote myself from before know as much as I can

No.. I've heard of it being done though it was something I wanted to know.. I wouldn't go out of my way to do it as drives would be extremely hard to locate now or as I would presume anyway.. The reason I ask is because I stumble across a lot of old-tech from the 90s all the way to I don't know 2009.. part of a former job I inherently end up getting a lot of this stuff so running into an old drive might be a potential so I got to thinking of what someone told me one time and thought well what if I ended up with one of these might be nice option for the future.. some type of project something different who knows options on the table

thanks for the info

give a damn about bragging rights the practicalities of Versatility and Longevity is my goal exercise all options know as much as I can

I believe I seen a Reddit post couple days ago by KaosEngineer touching on this topic the post was sometime back, I'm wondering if it's practical today to even attempt or even flash an pc optical drive. I am aware that you can of course get parts from other consoles.. I asked this out of curiosity as I lack the information and experience on the topic.

I am looking into doing the same thing trying to decide how I want to handle the water blocks, I do have some ideas to do some tricky 3D printing though.. Did you ever figure out why your temps went back up

I seen very little of it floating around out there very curious if anyone has any information how to obtain one.... yes yes I know completely unnecessary but very fun to mess with. I've even toyed with the idea of taking the journey down the path of constructing my own.

yes I was aware of data loss after an extended period of time not being powered on if I'm not mistaken I believe capacitors that are preserving the data Thanks for the response and definitely looking forward to the new project Stellar

I'd like to start by saying if this was already covered, I failed to find it my apologies in advance My question is would an SSD be a more of a viable option for longevity with the original Xbox. as speed is not my goal... I watched a video and a gentleman saying that continuous cash during gameplay can damage an SSD thus shortening its life.
