Improvised Internal Hdd Mod
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:27:00 PM »

Hey guys,

I got around the problem of not being able to plug in a normal MS HDD when you have the HDD internalised.

The solution is to implement a simple switch to control the power supply to the internal HDD (While leaving SATA cable connected to prevent E68 / No Video errors) The SATA port on the HDD acts as a termination point.

Another bonus is that it's hidden when you put a MS HDD on it or the case cover that comes with the arcades, the button is flush. (never mind the jaggy bits, I cleaned it out with a dremel tongue.gif

Hope this helps

Cheers!
