walter_J64bit Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I know that the 360 uses a SATA drive but is a SATA 1, SATA 2 or a SATA 3? I'm thinking of using a SATA SSD drive for my internal hard drive. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 the 360 i'm pretty sure uses a SATA 2 drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the the chipset on the motherboard is SATA1 and you plug in a SATA3 HDD, they will talk to each other and settle on the slower interface, which is SATA1. For example, the the chipset on the motherboard is SATA2 and you plug in a SATA1 HDD, they will talk to each other and settle on the slower interface, which is SATA1. I don't think that you can plug in any HDD. The XBox 360 will simply not show that it saw a HDD plugged in. I have tried it. It has to be a XBox 360 HDD. These contain a certain firmware. Someone made a tool that allows you to flash the firmware of your PC and laptop HDD. But, it is limited to only a few models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
