Infamous Ob Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 After several attempts at an refurbished WD 1TB SATA HDD, Kingwin ADP-06 adapter and 80 wire IDE cable, I threw those all into closet storage and went for the best instead. A brand new Samsung EVO 500GB SSD, Startech adapter and a Rontech 80 wire IDE cable...and an 80mm Noctua. Results are pretty cool to own: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is that version 1.6 softmodded? I had a samsung 1tb in a version 1.4 and pulled it back out as I could not notice a big enough speed increase if any over a 7200rpm hard drive. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon639 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I used this mounting bracket for my ssd, works like a charm, lines the ssd up perfectly for the IDE to Sata adaptor. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090UG55A/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous Ob Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Dave, yes, it's a Softmodded v1.6 console. I'm running modded games on here so far: GTASA (5 vehicles, 7 weapons), THUG 2 (6 Custom decks and a custom tee) & a modded Forza Motorsport 1 (several custom scripts for tuning vehicles with Ekszbox Forzamod). It's running these games quickly for sure. I noticed the cursor on the GTASA pause menu over the map was blinking faster...lol Falcon, that tray looks good. I'm going to order one if my SSD will fit. Does the tray mount to the Xbox's current HDD tray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD Velociraptor Icepacks will also work just as well too, I was lucky getting a bunch in a joblot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous Ob Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Samspin, good to hear. The Corsair looks good for only $7. Those WD Icepacks are ugly...haha Edited May 23, 2020 by Infamous Ob Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
