how many games can a 120 hold roughly? How many can a 200 hold roughly?

Depends on the size of the games really.  A game like the shitty Malice is about 750 MB. while 007 Everything or Nothing is around 3 GB.  Just wait til the DVD9 discs come out and you'll be using a whole lot more space.

Some simple considerations would be:
1. Space: Where will you fit the disks?
2. Temp: It's gonna get awfully hot in there.
3. Mode of operation: Normally IDE disks are not hot-swappable. Turning them on/off on the fly is not generally recommended. Also, if the switch is not noise-free, you run the risk of damaging your disks and/or controller.

Of course, all the above do not apply if you plan to switch the disks while the xbox is turned off smile.gif


PS. Anyway, since I had already voted some time ago with my stock disk, thought I'd mention I now have a 200Gb WD200JB installed.

you missed one:  The IDE bus is not designed to drive more than two drives.  Just because they are turned off does not mean the load they present on the bus is gone.  Eventually you'll add enough drives to kill the bus and in the meantime you are shortening the lifespan of your IDE controller.

then don't read it, stupid

I'm planning on getting a 40GB for $70 CAD or a 80GB for $90

Are these good prices?

We don't need multiple threads being the same thing...the other thread isn't burried...should have been posted in it to begin with

But no those prices aren't good. You can get every days deals better than that at newegg.com (120gb for about $90 and 160s for about $5 more) OR there's this AWSOME deal still going. 250gb retail for $120. If you want it snag it quick...I think it's a week long deal and I know I ordered mine last saturday (got it and it works great)
