    I can personally confirm that the VELOCIRAPTOR WILL WORK in a 360 Slim using HDDHACKR

    I would think if one did nothing but install the drive without taking additional cooling measures then sure...i'd expect it to melt down. I took the time to attach a 60x60x25 sunon maglev to the HDD bay cover after knocking a few fins out. i'm still debating which direction to have it work...

    disc one installed. all 5 free add-ons from ceberus network/xbl marketplace all addon content and save games stored on memory card system caches cleared prior to loading game with each drive mission: recruit the krogan Velociraptor: 23.5s from hitting resume at main menu til shepard has...

    i can already vouch for the difference in load times in Mass Effect 2 using a stock 20gb drive and the velociraptor. it's certainly noticeable. i will swap drives back & forth soon to deliver real benchmarks

    AND i forgot. IF you follow this method and drop the factory connector lower for fitment...you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE A STOCK 360 Slim HDD CASE for a regular drive UNLESS you READD the bottom rubber back to raise the connector to the proper level.

    ...With a bit of work ;) it's NOT a plug & play affair. you MUST wire in a 12v source to the HDD. My method managed to retain the stock power/data connector. I split the rubber cover and peeled away the hot glueish base around the physical SATA power connector. It's all standard parts here...

    On the heels of my last thread. Does anyone have a pinout/disassembly/close up pics?

    does not show me what the solder points on the board would be. although if they follow the same pattern on the underside i can guestimate. since i will not be using kinect for the forseeable future this is another option for a power source. thanks for that link.

    On the heels of my last thread. Does anyone have a pinout/disassembly/close up pics?

    I do now. Tore apart my slim for the first time. people weren't lying when they said the final clip was a bitch. I probed the connector while powered up and found the following. the DVD power connector Pinout appears unchanged. pin 6 is still 3.3v, 8 is still 5v, and 10 & 12 are still 12v...

    On the heels of my last thread. Does anyone have a pinout/disassembly/close up pics?

    ...of the new slim motherboard? I'm specifically looking for a location to draw 12v from. i need about ~750mA or about ~3w peak for the drive & a fan. i can only trace 4 wires going to the HDD power connector from the mobo connector so i assume by SATA standards these would be 5v, 3.3v, and 2...

    Has anyone used a Velociraptor for HDD on 360?

    Stated in the tutorial that it's supported. i'm a speed junkie. if it indeed will work i'd keep an eye out for one. Otherwise the 250gb blacks will be just fine.
