Modded Xbox 1TB Hard Drive Upgrade - Retro Console Repair

In this video, I continue the modded Xbox restoration by installing a larger hard drive and loading it up with games.

I purchased a 1TB SATA hard drive with a PATA adapter for this upgrade, although I soon realized it would have been worthwhile upgrading to 2TB hard drive from the get-go. The complete Xbox romset is 2.3TB when unzipped, so I am currently able to have half of it on the hard drive.

The PATA adapter turned out to be very low quality although with a little attention from my soldering iron I was able to improve its odds of lasting.

I'm thrilled with my new modded system and already looking forward to my next Xbox build!
