Xeno Top Gear Installation Video Posted by XanTium | March 21 23:15 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From xenotopgear.com We at XENO TOP GEAR have shipped out our first 3 thousand units to retailers. Consumers out there should be able to buy from any one of our official resellers shortly with the "made in Taiwan"; "made in China" issue, we would like to clearify that Taiwan is a part of China and lot of "Taiwan Factories" make their products in China and ship out of Taiwan, the competition is simply playing with words to fool consumers so that they can continue to be greedy and rip off consumers. Finally, we would like to reassure the level of quality of our product. We will let 3rd party reviewers have the final judgement.

Probably, been going like that for days now. In the end it comes down to the quality of the circuitry, (and them capacitors not touching the vreg hehe) and the customers.

I do wonder how theyr handling the intereference caused by switching sata signals with a mechanical switch. Thats a tricky one even commercial sata vendors wrestle with. Something to be learned possibly.

They offer some protection from interference with other devices... It's not really a problem to run without them though, usually just makes it fall outside of FCC interference transmittance specs.

It should be interesting to see how it works since Tx made a big deal about theirs being delayed so they could do their SATA data thingy and add all this extra circuitry they say was needed to make it work and it seems the Xeno doesn't have all the fancy extra chips so is it necessary, is it going to affect performance or did they just do something different that Tx didn't think of or something.  Need a head to head review of each, with trying on a hitachi with various version, including a 78 drive and see how it handles modeb, and the different samsungs and see how it handles ms28's, etc and the hd ability.  If they both the same thing with good performance, price will probably determine it.  Everyone needs to wait till they are tried by users and not all these videos and sites everyone keeps releasing.

thats funny cuz the Xeno is not a clone. if you have the balls to call it a clone then you are the type of fool who calls an alladin chip a DuoX chip, and EVERYYYYYY otherrrrr  modchip for the xbox1  a clone of the X2 and X3 chips.
i have two things to say.
1)ther eis no need for active curcuitry when all the system is doing is a passthru. all your doing is doing a passthru of data to your pc, your not powering anything so big in that tiny chipset in the Xeno PCB that its going to hurt anything. infact all your using is millivolts, and milli amps.Xecutors need to forse you to drag a molex out of your pc is assinine and bullcrap.
2)if you do buy this device. do NOT lay the sata and data cables along the edge of the GPU heatsink like they did in the video.... dont freakin do it.... they could melt over time as that gpu heatsink gets insanely hot.keep the cables as far to the edge of the board as possible.  

there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the Xeno mod. i just dont see a need for this type of mod since a firmware flash is a once in a long while thing unless your into ripping alot of games. the hard drive feature is nice but again, its a once in a while thing and you could save money buy simply buying the hard drive kit from those other guys.  
and Xeno is correct. there is not a whole lot of difference between parts made in China or made in Taiwan,there is some difference yes, make no mistake about it, but Xecutor is raping us on their cost. and their extras that are totally retarded and not needed.
i would take either product as long as they worked.but since one works and its 40 bucks vs 75 bucks.. i think the winner is obvious, and it sure as hell isnt down to craftmanship. cuz i sure as hell dont see xecutor putting a har drive adapter on their unit.

plse read the above carefully,
some people did not get it, so for every post I have to waste time removing there will be some time without posting at XS.
