lads, lads, lads. The failure rates are roughly equal across all brands and models of hard drive. Favourite brands are either a hangover from the days when it mattered, or are evidence of personal bias resulting from a few bad experiences. Like people who have two cars from brand X go wrong, and conclude that brand X is rubbish - it's just not meaningful data. The real death factors are vibrations (in particular how they transmit or don't transmit between drives in one rack/case), mounts and power cycles. Source: I have personally retired and scrapped literally thousands of hard drives, there were no overall standouts in brand, model or even RPM (other than those studid 10,000rpm things - I never found 7200 to be less reliable than 5400 on a domestic level). Fun bonus fact: my most unlikely survivor drive is an early 500GB 3.5" 7,200 Deskstar that I pulled out of a customer's old machine, it had over 58,000 power cycles. Not hours - power cycles. It still works fine. I have no idea how.

This video was a great watch, really exciting to see old hardware get upgraded for ease of use for modern enviroments. I am quite impressed by the modders that upgraded the RAM aswell as putting a 1.4 Ghz CPU in there. Apparently the performance gains for games are quite noticeable.

This brought back some memories... I have 2 OG Xbox consoles back home, one soft modded and the other is chipped. I can't even begin to describe the value that I got of these machines, despite owning a good PC back then. Back in the day, we had manually record the HD key and locking the new HD after installation so you can access the OG kernel if you wanted to boot without the mod enabled. It seems things have gotten easier since then. One of my favorite consoles of all time!

A little heads up about the HDMI dongle featured in the video: You may see some vertical stationary jail bars on some dark surfaces if you look close enough. According to Shane (the maker of this adapter), it's due to the video capacitors going bad and those will need to be replaced.

I did a soft mod recently. I believe it was a variant of this rocky5 setup but the one I used needed my splinter cell to load a save file. I did however have to go through about a dozen various usb sticks/microSD adapters until I found one that was JUST old enough to work. It was a quirky ancient microSD adapter to usb. Allowed everything to work flawlessly paired with the controller cord to usb input cable I bought. With a softmod and patience for ftp transfers, you probably only need to add a new HDD and you’ll be good to go. Component cable output to RT4K makes for an excellent picture.

3:47 The funny thing is that, some years back, I bought a modded Wii 2 HDMI adapter that was modded for an Original Xbox adapter off of eBay, and, to my utter shock, it actually was really bloody impressive, dare I say it looked better on Xbox than on Wii, and seeing that adapter reminded me of that purchase

XBMC was the best enternainment system. All my parties where worn by this system. I even had a smartphone app to steer which music needs to be played.

Ahh the good old day's. When Halo matchmaking was battle of the mods past level 38ish. Whatever modder got host connection won with their hacks. Non host hacks were broken due to it being the map file served from on the hosts machine.

I've had so much fun rebuilding my high school/college xbox on the emulator that I bought one to mod and happen to be doing it today. I'll be using the old method of softmod with xboxhdm and ndure. As always, thank you again for all your hard work.

Love my OG Xbox. Still using the same one i've had since it was new. I finally have to replace my CD drive belt, but other than that just some normal open dusting and its good to go. Its been rock solid. There's also a certain charm in just powering it up, sticking in a game disk, and your ready to play.

its awesome that we can increase the ram of the original xbox now its crazy how good the modding community has gotten with this console upgrading the ram in a consumer base console is unheard of similar to wiimmfi the only game i ever see people play is mario kart wii so only seeing people play halo 2 all the time doesnt surprise me too much to be honest

MVG, why would you keep the 40-in cable and not upgrade to an 80-pin for faster transfer speeds?

I remember hearing about modded original Xbox consoles from my ex-brother in law. He actually modded his Xbox years ago. Then around 2003 or 2004 or something is when I heard of the softmod where you can use a certain game like Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell which I actually had. In 2022 I tried it for myself and voila. I remenber as a kid thinking that it was hard to mod an original Xbox. Yeah, I mean to install a modchip if you don't know how to solder, but to use a game save exploit, no it isn't.
