Depends on what you currently have. What are you using to power your drive? Do you have a compatible Sata chipset? If no you would need to by something to power your drive; CK3 lite,pro,mini or ck3i. Slim drives are picky on Sata chipsets and the X360usbpro completely eliminates that problem.
With what you have you can pretty much get one thing done. And that thing is......taking your console apart. Congrats.

depends what you mean by necessary. There not needed if you plan on going for a jog or a walk to the park however they are totally necessary if you are planning on flashing your drive.
The very least you need are any one of the following CK3 lite,pro,mini or ck3i.
Then depending on the drive you have, you may also need a probe.
Most of the stuff you can find here in the trader forums, for very reasonable prices.

because I have done it without a ck3 and a usbpro now its a no brainer to me they are needed. Why make a safe and super easy 1-2 minute flash from start to finish and turn it into an unsafe long pain in the ass by not having the right tools?
I think the xbox 360 dvd-rom drives have a multi-pin custom power adapter that cannot just be hooked up to a PC. You will need some version of the CK3 for powering the xbox 360 drive.
i guess you could say no...... BUT ONLY in the same way you would say a nappy is not really necessary for a baby, but then you'd be cleaning up a lot of sh*te.......
a bit like trying to flash your drive without the right tools
On a side note..... it helps to be using Team Xecuter products if you want support from the Team Xecuter forum

You're right , it is a custom connector . Is there an adapter from Molex to that connector ?
And if you power the DVD-ROM with the Xbox itself you are flagged for Live ban , right ? Can you unflag this one ?
Yes there is. For that you would need at least a CK3 lite or CK3 mini to power and, if needed, eject the drive. As frayed stated, for $14+ you get a sure thing rather than a gamble. Then, you have and can use the CK3 to power an 0800 drive for backing up your originals. Kills 2 birds with one stone.
I have heard that you could be flagged, but have never tried this. Somewhere on here is a post about unflaging it, so long as you are not flagged by the M$ servers yet.
