Hard Drive Question

[DForbes]

I purchased the excuter2.6 chip. I am going to purchase a harddrive to upgrade the xbox. Is there any particular type of harddrive I should avoid? I heard that you have to use an ATA 133 type drive and that SATA and ATA100 drives can't be used. I am not sure why that would matter hence the reason I am asking.

I personally also have an xecuter 2.6 ce and I was able to replace my 10 gigger with a Seagate Barracuda ATA 100 hard drive to the tune of 120 gigabytes. Everything has worked fine for me and my throughput with my notebook by ftping hangs at around 11MBps
Best of luck

The Xbox supports P-ATA only and will happily support anything from ATA-66 upwards.
