Man oh man my wallet!!!
Anyways. I asked my dad last week to get me a 120GB HDD. But then i saw in the tutorials you can just purchase a laptop BEVs HDD and upload the hddss onto. I bought the WDGWD1200BEVS 120GB for around $35 just got it in today.
I checked online and saw that this goes for around $45-$50!!! Does anyone know a cheaper and reliable item? Ive seen some similar but i read reviews and they arent good Ok now explanations...
DUDE ARE YOU $&*#^$( STUPID?
Sometimes ;] Thats why im the the newbie forums...
WHYYYYY?! Ok. Well, i want to be able to quickly load HDDs without changing my boot order and restarting my computer, too slow. This really isnt a problem but, i was suppose to get a new SATA computer last month but I didnt have the time to build it so im stuck with IDEs. Even if i were to get a SATA computer, the whole idea is to use the device generally. Sure i can open up the seal (since it is my own HDD) but when it comes to family and friends, im sure they would not want they warranty seal broken. So using a similar device I could hook up the HDD via USB with haste and no hardware technicalities (trust me, ive done soo many Hotswap methods with my original xbox as well as others, takes forever!)

Oooooo that is awesome news!
But it does not fit my situation /;
Is there one similar to this but also a direct plug to the XBOX 360 HDD? I dont want to break my friend's HDD Warranty Seal.
EDIT:
More specifically like so in the following pictures below..
Will the top connector pins connect directly to the 360 HDD? Or will i have to open it up to the bare HDD?

yet exact answer i was looking for. Thanks for your help! Ill go order that
Also one more question. Where can i buy cheap HDDs (used,new broken) it doesnt matter. I just need an HDD Shell to put my 120GB BEVS into. Maybe around the price of $5?
The RROD Pro 360 i bought from my friend last week included everything except a HDD - for $20
