I usually never click ads on my RUclips but I'm so glad that I did. You have a level of content creation that's almost if not professional, and there is no way if someone showed me this video and said it came from a channel with just over a hundred subs that I would believe them. Keep up the incredible work. I can't wait to see what's next
"this isn't a tutorial" the only thing that you miss are the links, beyond that you pratcly explain the entire process in a fantastic way hahahahaha. Keep doing this incredible work
great video! I didn't knew i could unlock the hard drive, i must open my two OG Xboxes to remove the battery and replace the HDD with a new one! Subscribed!
Great video! You mentioned you repeated the cloning process when at first it didn't work for the ssd. Did you use the Rocky5's advance options to unlock the drive and restart the process? I have a similar issue were clone drive does not boot. Any help welcomed. Thanks
@@TheEricExperiment Ya, the 80-wire cables are shielded to avoid cross talk at high data rates. With an SSD, you would most definitely need an 80-wire cable. The cloning likely worked, because it was running at such low data transfer rate. Once the rates increase though, there's a lot of noise on those 40-wire cables. I had to get an 80-wire cable for my SSD install as well, as I ran into the exact same problem. Hopefully you'll get a nice 1TB or 2TB SSD in that system sometime in the future, and it will be set for a long, long time to come.
Nice video! but two questions: 1: At 13:17 did you selected the capped 137GB option? 2: At the end you can use the whole 1TB Drive space? So how did you done that without TSOP flashing? thx :)
Hey, thank you! Yeah, I actually had multiple attempts with multiple options, but given it was a 64GB SSD, that option should be fine if the SSD was compatible with the softmoded xbox. As long as you do the hot swap method, you don't need to do TSOP flashing, the soft mod is enough to replace the hard drive, now, you can't simply just swap the hard drive later, you need to use this method again and you need to lock the hard drive. TSOP flashing would probably give me more flexibility and allow me to use any unlocked hard drive. In that case the SSD would probably work fine, but for my purposes the softmod was simple and effective enough. Depending on what you want to be able to do, maybe TSOP is a better option.
Great vídeo! This is waaaay beyond my skills ^^ I wold probably open it, lose some screws and patience in the process, look... And look... Scratch my head... Look... And say out loud "fuck it"... And probably shut it down, put in a box and cry
Mate, a mechanical hard drive can last you all your life. 10 YEARS minimum after excruciating play. They last longer than SSD's. Yah, the catastrophic irony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think you watched the whole video? I ended up using a 1TB spinning hard drive. But regardless, SSDs generally fail from writing on them over and over and over. If I had managed to install the SSD, it would take MANY, MANY years for it to go bad because I rarely play the Xbox and even when I do, most of the operations are reads and not writes. As long as it's turned on every now and then to make sure the SSD receives some power, as it can loose data if it stays unpowered for TOO long, it should be good. Aging spinning hard drives in the other hand, are more prone to dying even if not used very often because they have moving parts. That's the nature of mechanical things, unlike a car, I can't open a hard drive to do maintenance to keep it running for many decades. Not to mention the magnetic disks that lose their ability to hold data over time.
@@TheEricExperiment LOL mate NONE OF THAT is true. Rest easy buddy, your mechanical HDD in your OG XBOX will last until you're in the ground. SSD also. But even if it was mechanical. Lol and NO leaving it unplugged won't ruin the drive, should people not buy factory sealed XBOX's for thousands of dollars then? If that were actually true? Come on bro, don't scare people now LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I used a Kingston A400 120GB like another guy on RUclips, worked perfectly on my softmodded v1.4 Xbox using the StarTech IDE adapter.
That's awesome, I might try that one at some point!
Orgulho de vc, meu amigo! Saudades dos nossos papos. Feliz Natal!
Também cara, um grande abraço e feliz Natal.

I love these kinds of videos! Had to subscribe immediately
Thank you! =)
Such a good video, you already look like a pro creator

I had no luck with the ssd and I did unlock it.
I think some hard drives are simply not gonna work unless you hard mod your Xbox.
Thanks for the quick reply.👍
i think you need the 80 wire ide cable for the ssd to work
I ended up using one, maybe I should've used it from the beginning.

So it looks like I’m not the only one having problems with an SSD in my Xbox. The eject button however seems to advance the startup.
UPDATE: Try installing kernel fonts. That fixed my boot problem.
My guess ... and only a guess is that the SSD is newer technology basically that the First Gen XBOX cannot understand.
Love it!

im running an ssd in my 1.6 xbox
Mine is a 1.2 or 1.3, I don't remember exactly. I wanted a 1.6 but they are a bit hard to find.
