Same here, no SATA, but the price for this is rediculas, I'll never be able to get one.

Sure there is if you only own a laptop.

I guess you guys havent seen this.  If you only have a laptop or a pc without sata, you still have some options.  That setup was still cheaper than buying this new version...but for some people, this new kit is the better option.

Awsome!
Oh wait...it doesnt work on my box...

[chinozzz]

Well I will say it is probably a cool idea. We wont know if it is any good untill someone Spends the Cash to BUY ONE. Then when we get to read how many Drives it Starts BOTCHING, or not Botching, that will be the test  

[Heet]

I'll get one for the TS when its available.  Nice peice of hardware!

[Hami]

I dont have SATA on my work pc (the pc i use in my workshop) and i do all my modding there so this kit will be perfect for me. I have purchased the TSOP32 adapter for my programmer anyway though as im sure that all the people who opt out of buying these devices and end up accidently bricking a drive will need drives repaired.

Looks like I will be buying at least one of these.  I have 2 questions though.  How do you access this outside of the 360 so that you dont ever have to open the case again? and are there going to be 2 seperate versions or will v2 work with the samsung and hitachi?  If not then looks like I am buying both of them.  Once again thanks alot.

[gnutellafan]

Does anyone read the notes? The point is that it will have an external connection so that AFTER opening the case once and fitting the mod you will not have to open the case ANOTHER TIME. It would be nice to see some pics of the external connection/setup.

Hopefully TX will also start to sell the items separately.

One thing that is not clear is will v2 support both drives or be TS only? Any ETA or progress notes?

i'd like to know also.

I have xbox360 with a toshiba-samsung drive, I'd like to buy your v2 kit but i want to be able to re-flash the dvd firmware without opening the case again, just one more time to install the kit then that's it, never have to open again would be nice!~

Can you do that team xecuter? Make a external usb or sata port for flashing the dvd drive? so we don't have to have the case open and dvd drive out to flash....

If you read the news on team xecuters website eairler or on xbox-scenes newspage you will see that they said you will never have to open the case again.  Didnt mean it as a question in my post

I have read the notes.  I was just wanting to see some pics of the setup or if team xecuter could explain how you will be able to use it outside the case.

I wasnt referring to your post. I agree, as stated, that I would like to see some pics for the outside of the case.

OK, ive modded my xbox 1 myself, but havent been keeping up on Xbox 360 modding. So, wheres a good page with all the basics?

And wtf is this thing?

[BKbeaner]

omg diveno is a bunch of cheapskapes, $10 bucks for shipping when it weighs almost nothing and they try and pull u in the $5 rebate. all i can say is fuck that. I got a $30 pci sata card that looks cool and it mite work if i could find the slax cd to get my drive into mode b.

[pablot]

nice tool, not that I'll be using it. Good adition for the home pirates (no offence to TX but thats what it'll mainly be used for).

And yah, you'll need to open up you xbox to use it, so what? If you don't have the balls to do that then go hide under a rug.

That was a different product which allowed you to not open your case each time you needed to flash your drive.  
It only has to be installed once...  It's not a product to save your warranty.  

This product is already straight forward and I think the pics in this post already show everything.

Brilliant packaging too.  

[wmxp]

I see the usefulness of the Connectivity Kit portion of this package, but how does the X360 USB itself differ from any run of the mill SATA to USB connector that you can purchase anywhere on the internet for a fraction of the price? Ebay for instance?

http://search.ebay.c...c...&category0=

The kits you buy on Ebay even come with external molex connector (The standard white power plug PC's use) power supply so you don't have to open your computer at all if paired with the stand alone connectivity kit. (Which is probably what is connected to the power connection on the DVDrom adapter shown in these pics. Of course, there's no mention of that anywhere...

Team Xecuter bring a user friendly spin on modding for those afraid to get their hands wet, but this product is all about the fancy package. No benefit on the "name brand" here folks.
