Hi to all, i just got the:

Since I haven't been able to find a complete list of harddisks and the ability to lock them I think it's a good idea to compile a list so that if someone wants to buy a new hd he/she knows what will / won't lock and won't lose money by buying a hd and find out by trying.
Please reply to this message with the Brand, ModelNumber, Size, RPM, Buffersize and Lockability of your harddisk.

Thanks for the responses so far, one remark however to make sure people order the right hd it would be nice if you could also include the modelnumber of the hd.
why dont you post some thing like this (Maxtor 7200rpm 120 Gb 6Y120L0 lockable!!!) its beter to give the hdd model number cas if i say maxtor 120Gb 7200rpm hdd wont lock, your still having a problem cas there are 3 difrent models

Isn't a 7200RPM 8MB Cache drive special edition? Don't think they exist w/out that title. All 8MB drives are labeled JB (J for 8mb cahce, B for 7200RPM). WD1200BB is a non-special edition 2mb cache.
BTW, my friend just bought a WD1200JB and it wouldn't lock. Fun stuff
any one else got details on any others?

QUOTE (Schmo @ Feb 17 2003, 11:51 PM) |
The 120GB 7200RPM Maxtor Drive at BestBuy last week and CompUSA this week for 99 after rebate is lockable. The model number is L01J100. It is marketed as a 100GB drive with 20GB free. I believe it is actually a L01J120 inside the box. |
This is the drive kit that I bought from BestBuy ($85 after MIR, 10% discount and taxes). This drive is fast, quiet and lockable. No overheating problems whatsoever, it actually runs pretty cool just like the original 8GB WD.
The L01J100 is the kit number but the actual drive model# is 6Y120L0.

From what I gather the WD SE 120gb OEM drives don't lock (some people claim to have locked it but most say it can' t be done), but the boxed, retail WD SE drive appears to be OK. Don't hold me to that, but it's what I gather from about a month's worth of research (not actually tested though).
Just bought a Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 120Gb 7200rpm 8mb Cache ATA133 Hard Drive - OEM (6Y120P0) and I understand it DOES lock. Will confirm on arrival and installation.

Sorry to spoil the great list of drives on this post, but I have to confess something really stupid.
(and I know I am going to regret asking this) but what does it matter if a drive locks or not? When you say 'lockable', what does this mean? The reason I am asking these stupid questions, is I was thinking of putting a bigger HDD in my xbox, but havent got a clue where to start! Can it be a standard HDD that would normally go in a pc, and if so, does it have to be formatted in any particular way(before or after it is fitted)? Any help here, or directions to a tutorial on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
Just got my maxtor 120gb 7200 from best buy(100gb+20gb free) and locked it! woohoo!

That is why you want to get a hard drive that Locks, so you can still boot with MS bios and play games on live. With out a locked drive your xbox will say it needs fixed!

They also say, that you should take a 5400 rpm drive, as 7200 will overheat. Is this true?
As for the answers to the two questions above, if you feel to answering, could you explain what the right answer is and why?

Your first question:
I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Model 160GB 6Y160L0 which works fine in my xBox. Perhaps the limitation indicated by your colleagues is the 137GB barrier present in the IDE controller. Ie. My 160GB drive, reports as 137GB. This is a known issue.
2nd Question:
I have no heating problems with the above drive, and it is a 7200 RPM version. This is not true when it applies to myself and my HD. But other HDs may give off more heat then others.
Hope this helps.
Now - on to the original topic -
Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Model 160GB 6Y160L0 w/2M Cache - LOCKABLE!
Absolutely it helped. It solved my contemplation whether I should get a certain amount of time invested to get a 5400 rpm drive the size of 120GB. Which I do not intend to do now.
Next week I will get an Xbox. Now I know what it will cost me. Still not really sure about the Mod chip.....X2 or Matrix.
Thanks!

anyone have any idea or wanna buy a 120 gig drive O! |
same thing for me, i was really excited to get the same drive for $40 from om.com but wasn't thrilled when i opened the box to see it was upgrade to the 8meg cache version for free due to the troubles i have seen on this board with locking it
oh well, i'm going to take one of the 120gig drives out of my pc and see if they will lock in my xbox. the 8meg cache one will probably become my new master drive.
This drive has been locked by Wasteil, dz1 and others.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I originally prepared the hard drive using Slayer's 2.0 (didn't try to lock it at that time). I recently decided to update it to Slayer's 2.1. I copied all the info off the HD, used new install option on Slayer's menu, rather than upgrading, and copied games, etc. back on HD. Everything works fine. I tried using Config Magic to lock the HD, but no luck. I tried using HDLOCK.EXE, but got a single minus sign under the S, which supposedly indicates not an ATA66 or better HD, etc.
Any opinions, or suggestions?
Ive check this list many times, and i see the "Maxtor 6Y120P0 - 120 GB 7200 rpm 8mb cache" is able to be locked, but the only drive i find in the stores is "Maxtor - 120GB DiamondMax Plus 9ms Hard Drive ATA133 7200rpm 8MB OEM 6Y120P0 - 6Y120P0" now obviously its the same drive, but there is no mention of OEM in this news, does this really matter, will the drive still be able to be locked?
I have a question on the Maxtor 6Y120P0. I just bought a bare drive, meaning no cables or software. Are these things necessary when attempting to lock your drive. I guessing all you need is the drive. Thanks for the info in advance.
You didn't look very hard then. Several people, including myself, have successfully locked the WD1200JB (120GB Special Edition w/8MB cache) with ConfigMagic. Drop the RTL (for retail) from the model number and search the list again. I should add that others have had problems though.

What about this 1? I'm thinking about getting it soon. It appears to be a Maxtor 120gb 7200 rpm but it doesn't say what model and according to Maxtor's website there are 3 120gb - I might call tcwo and find out which 1 it is. Thx.
I have successfully locked both the wd1200JBRTL and the WD1200BBRTL.....check out your local office max..if they've got them they're both 149 plus tax with $80mir....call the 877 number if you can't find them in store..you maybe can order it over the phone. If that doesn't work....and they're on back order...you can still get one with the rebate. deal ends on the third!
Anybody know if these lock? Maxtor 120Gb ATA/133 D540X-4G hard drive, 5400 rpm/2mb cache

same thing for me, i was really excited to get the same drive for $40 from om.com but wasn't thrilled when i opened the box to see it was upgrade to the 8meg cache version for free due to the troubles i have seen on this board with locking it
oh well, i'm going to take one of the 120gig drives out of my pc and see if they will lock in my xbox. the 8meg cache one will probably become my new master drive. |
got a chance to exchange one of the 2MB cache WD 120's in my pc tonight with the 8MB cache that i got last week and it locked with no problems (configmagic final)
I just found this hard drive
It was in this pos
that I'm throwing away....
Do you think the hard drive will be lockable?

I have a Maxtor 4R120L0 (OEM). I have been unable to lock this drive. ATAPWD says that it doesn't support ATA-security. I've tried it on _several_ computers with different models and brands of motherboards. I've also tried locking it with Config Magic. Config Magic also tells me that the drive does not support locking. Has anyone been able to get this drive to lock. If so, how? Is there a problem with locking OEM drives that does not exist with retail drives. I was under the assumption that they are the same hardware with a different label. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
So whats the best Hard Drive to get thats 120 gig 5400rpm?
Something that won't give you any problems.
Thanks

As far as i know and have ever seen the only differance between OEM and retail is the packaging. And try using ConfigMagic Final, and not one of the older versions, you might have better luck.

You could try...
Maxtor 4R120L0
Samsung SV1204H
WesternDigital WD1200AB
Those 3 are all 120GB and 5400RPM.
Or you can keep checking this harddrive list website someone made from this board, its pretty good and im pretty sure it gets updated as new information comes to light thats not in the list.
2.) IF it is the drive that matters, stay away from MAXTOR... i dont know if it seems like it to you, but a lot of them claim to be "unlockable"
3.) For god sakes, get a 7200 rpm drive... there is no point to search for a 5400. They are becoming hard to find, and besides, there's no point. I dont think anyone with a 7200 rpm(there are lots of us) has had any problem with overheating.
4.) Western Digital RULES! Have always used them, always will... No problems with anything EVER.
By the way, my WD1200JB (7200rpm 8mb cashe) locked on the first try. Maybe my first hunch was wrong, and I did just have a "hit," but that seems strange to me.
I then upgraded the XBox with an older IBM Deskstar 60GXP, 40 Gb, 7200 RPM, 2Mb Cache, which was successfully locked with Config Magic.

I would just stay away from OEM drives. |
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. When an item is an OEM version, it means that the item is sent to where it's being sold without logo-branded packaging, and may contain less documentation and software than the retail version.
There is no differance in hardware at all, you just save yourself a few ยฃยฃยฃ's from not getting a fancy box and maybe a driver CD, Cable or Manuals. But as we're talking HDDs none of those things matter.
QUOTE (Bio Retard @ May 18 2003, 02:41 PM) |
Also for OEM software the company sometimes won't provide you with technical support. |
Sorry I know its off topic, but I laughed at this. Like a manufacturer will support you in installing their drive in an XBOX ;-)
does anyone know if you HAVE to copy all the things on your hd when installing a new 1?
the support is here always the same because our local rights say so.
btw. you have anyways at first to go to your dealer where you bought the drive
(in german you have 2 years of guarante from your dealer, even if the manufacturer
gives only 1 year !)
have fun

Whoever said that a JB may not lock because it is run off the Hard Drive may be right, accessing data from the hard drive and locking it at the same time may be a cause for them locking, If all slayers installer people lockking the 1200JB did it off the CD (as is the case for the slayers installer, in fact it does not copy configmagic to the hard drive when installing)

Are ATA 100 drives even usable? You guys are not posting the interface of your drives. Does it not matter if a drive is ATA 100 or 133? And I just mean usable I dont care if it is lockable or not.

This drive is identical with the IBM Deskstar 180GXP 120GB as Hitachi has taken over IBM's desktop HD Business. Hence all IBM Deskstar's are shipping now as Hitachi Deskstar's.

FYI for everyone, it's not called "Lockability" it's called "ATA Security Mode" |
Like I said last time, "lockability" is a perfectly acceptable casual term we use. Tell you what, next time you say your hard drive is IDE I'll correct you and point out that technically it's ATA, not IDE.

Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM HDD - locks like a champ with ConfigMagic (noticed that a previous post said that it was NOT lockable). Runs quiet and usually you can find GREAT deals on them at Staples.

Seagate 80 GB 7200 RPM 2mb(i think 2mb) - LOCKED EASILY WITH CONFIGMAGIC!
Here is some things to know for people in search of a hard drive for their xbox and things from my experience. Ok, so I saw this awesome deal at Fry's Electronics here, a Maxtor 120 GB 7200 RPM 8MB cache for $80 after rebate!!! I was like "WHOA!" and got it. So now with all my hard drives i have a maxtor 60 GB ata 133, seagate 80 gb ata 100, and maxtor 120 GB ata 133. I realized that this maxtor was just too good for my xbox and i don't have many games for xbox so i don't have a use for a big hard drive. but the 120 was extremely hot when i was formatting it and the seagate stayed cool all the way through. I suggest this drive and probably seagates to anyone for an xbox.

what tool did you use to lock the hdd?
QUOTE (rkat @ Aug 31 2003, 05:29 AM) |
Short info: Samsung SpinPoint SP0802N not lockable (seems so)
detailed: I used an unmodded xbox, installed (using hdd swap) Linux first and got the hdd-password. Also installed one of these "standard" xbox hack dashboards (after restoring the original xbox-hdd content, again using hdd swap) and created the "backup", which gave me the exact same hdd-password. Connected the xbox-hdd again to a pc. "UnlockX" told me the xbox-hdd was lockable/locked (no surprise). Unlocking with the obtained password worked. Then locked it again. It still works in the xbox as intended, so everything is ok. I duplicted the content of the original xbox-hdd image to the SP0802N hdd and run UnlockX. It told me this drive was not lockable. Using atapwd I set a master-password (just in case something went wrong to be able to get rid of the user-password and the content of the samsung-hdd, highly recommended!). Back to UnlockX, which again told me the samsung-hdd was not lockable. Anyway, I set the obtained password (using UnlockX). Atapwd recognized the user-password was set. After a reboot the drive was locked (as expected.) I could unlock it again with UnlockX (which told me the drive was unlockable). Then I locked it again and replaced the xbox-hdd with this locked samsung-hdd. Unfortunatley the xbox seemed to agree with UnlockX and did not accept this harddisk. (Showed the error very early after switching on the xbox, which - as far as I remember - indeed means hdd could not be unlocked.) I tried this procedure a few times more, locking the samsung drive with hddlock, too, but never had any success making the samsung-hdd work in the xbox. After reading about config-magic, I'm tempted to try this, too (have to get it first). However since UnlockX seemes to be right about the "hdd is not lockable", I asume it's right. So it's interesting to see, that a hdd can be locked but it still lacks a feature that tells that it really does support locking (which prevents it's use in the xbox). Haven't checked the complete ata-reference again for a possible reason of this (and could not find the source code for UnlockX, which could give a hint why it recoginzes a hdd as unlackable.)
I'ld love to read what you think about this. |

Question:
This [Western Digital 120GB Special Edition] paticular hard drive is hit-and-miss on whether or not it can be locked. I have locked western digital drives, but this one is "not lockable". However, there are other people with this drive that are able to lock it. These drives must be shipping with slightly different firmware versions. Is there a way I could update the firmware on this drive to enable locking? Thank you.
Answer:
All of our drives follow ATA security features and are lockable. It is up to the software that you are using to recognize it in order to lock it. We do not recommend that you do this nor can we support you in doing so. Many times, the software will fail to unlock the drive once it is lock if something goes wrong.
Is there a lockable drive list with possible SKU numbers?
How do people like the 5400 RPM Maxtor 300GB drive? I always wonder the longevity of the slower drives? Think 7200 have better components less the Cashe? Like heads parking/retracting? Wish Gartner group or consumer reports had a case study.
I have had one drive go bad on me and it was less than 4 months Maxtor 120GB 7200 8MB cashe.
SKU numbers are generally specific to one specific store. Two different stores would usually not use the same SKU number.
Perhaps you meant UPC numbers? Or maybe exact model number?
Western Digital WD2000 (200GB)
7200 RPM w/8MB cache
Model WD2000JB-75DUA0.....does not support locking.
Used Configmagic,HDLock,and UnlockX,all report the same thing....Drive does not support locking.
This appears to be related to Special Edition drives with 8MB cache since I have not yet run across a WD drive with 2MB cache that wouldn't lock.The SE's seem to be hit or miss as to whether they will lock.So stay away from the WD's with "JB" in the model number.
I just blew $80 (after rebates) on it because you damn chart says its lockable w/o a question mark. I want to know how to flash the firmware (if possible) so the damned thing will lock.
Tried 3 different Config Magics- nope
SOMEONE HELP!
Can anyone tell me if 4R060J0 Maxtor 60GB 5400 RPM drive is lockable ?
I've searched but nothing came up so maybe someone has gotten this one to lock but hasn't posted yet.
Thanks.
To LegolasArcher:
What is the model of your drive?
Id like to see them sidestep around that one
anyone? Please?
i got my WD 15.5 gig hdd to lock with config magic...i know this drive is HUGE
exellent post
To LegolasArcher:
I sent a very similiar email to WD and they told me that their drives are all lockable, but they will not support us actually doing so because we may forget the password.
They said if we are having trouble getting one to lock, we should contact our software support.
I really doubt that WD is going to be any help to us.
To SNAAAKE:
You need either a modchip or exploit to use any programs or dashboards not made by MS. When you say "online", I assume you mean "XBOX LIVE".
You CANNOT use XBOX-LIVE with a modchip or exploit or a different dashboard. Try it and they ban your XBOX. (If you have these, disable them before connecting to LIVE)
If you mean XBConnect instead of LIVE, then YES, you can use whatever dashboard you want to (if you have the chip/bios or exploit)
Just install a new 250 gig hard drive and lock it with configmagic.
Make: Western Digital
Model: WD2500JB 8 meg cache
Fitted it in a v1 xbox
also just to add i have locked about 10 Western Digital 120 gig JB series hard drives with 8 meg cache with configmagic.
Kingken:
Could you post the firmware version on those WD 120GB 8MB Cache Hard Drives?
joshf how can you tell what firmware the drives have as normal it is labeled on them, apart from connecting it up to a pc.
With a PC, you can use ATAPWD.
I can't remember if Config-Magic tells that information or not.
Maxtor 80 gb 7200 rpm 8 mb cache L01P080 locked just fine with config magic.

Does anyone know that site where you can start partitions against a company?
It's not even an issue of whether the software is compatible. The software asks the drive if it is lockable. The drive says "no".
It's not the software saying the drive can not be locked, it is the drive saying the drive cannot be locked.
The software will go ahead and send the lock commands to the drive, even though it does no good because the drive won't accept lock commands period - regardless of the software.
This is a case of false advertising. Their website clearly states that all their drives are fully ata compliant and fully supports locking. The tech support says the exact same thing as well.
There are probably tons of people who don't know much of anything about computers, and the techs are bombarded with stupid questions. How do I install a hard drive? How do I install Windows? How can I connect the hard drive to my microwave?
They probably assume that all people are like this, because 90% are. So, they give everyone a "canned" response about how "their drives work fine, you need to contact your computer specialist."
Hi, can someone tell me if I can get my modchip out, lock my HDD and it would still work?(Boot to exox and everything...)

You cannot take out your modchip and still use evox unless you are using one of the font/audio/gamesave exploits, which you are probably not using because you have a modchip.
Without a modchip/exploit, you can only use programs endorsed by MS for use on the xbox with the original discs only.
So the answer to your question is NO!

Hello,
Just installed a new drive and it locked fine in ConfigMagic Final. The drive is a:
Maxtor Ultra Series 120GB Kit#: L04P120 Drive#: 6Y120P0 7200RPM, 8MB Buffer, UATA133
|
is this the same drive best buy has for $139 - $60 in rebates? (L01P120)
I went all over Maxtor checking out the site, and what I got was this is the same drive as L04P120 - forget about getting any info on lockability!
UPDATE: I shelled out the cash ($139 - $20 more than my xbox!) and bought the drive/kit - turns out it does in fact have the 6Y120P0 drive that has been confirmed to lock (many times in this thread) so after $60 in rebates, you have yourself a shiny new 8 meg cache 120 gig drive! (got it at bestbuy)

I just bought a maxtor 7200 rpm 8 mb cahe 120 gig hdd locked up real good thx config magic making life very easy
the newest one out all my wd hdd work
i went through all 25 pages, took me about 30 mins. i seen only 2 post about the Maxtor 160gb 2mb cache 5400rpm. both 2 people said it is not lockable, but that was a couple months ago. so any has any luck on locking it??
Maxtor Diamondmax Plus9 120Gb, 7200rpm, 8Mb cache locks fine.
Also, for those running Maxtor drives, there's a util you can download from maxtor (setacm.exe I think) that lets you make the drive a lot quieter. I can't hear mine at all now, whereas before the head seeks were pretty loud!
Ok, can someone compile a list of all CONFIRMED locking HD's when you buy them straight from the store? ALSO, include where you bought it and how much you paid for it.
Anyone know of the Maxtor 250GB, 7200RPM, Internal ATA/133 Hard Drive model number L01P250 (As reported by compusa) is lockable?
Update: Sorry, the L01P250 number is for the kit. The drive itself is model number 7y250p0
Maxtor 6L060J3 60GB is lockable!
More good news,
Maxtor 6Y250P0 250GB 7200RPM 8MB ATA133 is Lockable.
This is the drive I mentioned in the kit earlier... CM Final reports it as a 6Y250P0, but Maxtor says it is a 7y250p0, so YMMV.
It is also SUPER quiet. The xbox fan seems to be louder than it is.
As a bonus, this drive also comes with a FREE ATA133 PCI card for your PC.
ive been reading this post and only find very little information on bigger hard drives. i am considering purchasing this maxtor diamondmax 16 (4A250J0) - 250gb, 5400rpm, 2mb cache and wanted to know if it would be supported OR what question i could ask www.maxtor.com to see if it is supported.
is Maxtor L01P120 7200 RPM 120 GB Hard Drive DiamondMax Plus U133 lockable
So is there any why to find out with out just buying it and trying? has anyone tried any 200 or 250's?
well, if this feature is really called ata security mode, then i will call maxtor and ask and post the results. ill also ask about newer generation drives too.

Thanks to paulthims. I just ordered the 250 MB HDD. Great deal!
Howdy,
I recently contacted a Maxtor Tech Representitive and asked the following question:
"Could you tell me if the Maxtor 4W060H4 is "lockable" (ATA Security Mode)?"
He then responded:
"Any of our drives are "lockable" as far as using a DOS command or thru the operating system. "
So I guess the Maxtor 536DX 4W060H4 is "Lockable."
If I am wrong given the Tech Reps. response, let me know.

My dad and i have locked a hard drive with the auto slayer(just came out yesterday). We did that and i still couldn't get the regular dashboard to work. We messed up the two dashboards and now NEITHER of them will come up on the TV screen. With and without the modchip on neither of them will work. Our hard drive is locked also. IS there ANY way that we would be able to unlock the hard drive. or possibly load up the xbox by the cdrom and use the slayer to completely reformate the harddrive so we can start over?

I have tried it in 2 different v1.0 boxes with ConfigMagic Final and always get the message of "Locking Not Supported" . I am also still using the stock IDE cable. Could this be the problem? Do I need to swap out to an ATA133 cable to get this drive to lock? Has anyone that locked this drive done so with the stock cable? Could it possibly be an issue with v1.0 boxes or the Bios?

Hey guys, I'm kind of a newbie and just want to clear things up...
I'm interested to change my HDD and I'm doing a little search...
I've read a tutorial on how to change the HDD using evo-x. It didn't say to use some kind of program to lock the drive. Can anyone tell me when do u lock the drive and how(that depends on which HDD you have choosen?), using that method?
And something else: with your experience, how many GB do u recommend on the new HDD? I think about 120GB(not to get in trouble dividing in 2 partitions), but I'm giving it a second though for a larger one...
To lock the drive, you use a program called Config Magic Final, which comes on the slayers disk, downloadable from 'the usual places'.
Just rea dthe tutorials at http://tutorials.xbox-scene.com for details on swapping hard drives. Just make sure you pick a lockable HD if you ever wanna use Live.

LOCKED with no problems. i think the only reason anyone had trouble with it is they didnt do it with config magic final. my cuzin bought this same on in MI and his locked perfect to. with a v1.0 xbox. i did with v1.1 and his bro did it with v1.2. so i say its completley lockable. |
What does ConfigMagic say the model# is for that drive? Just out of curiosity.

Maxtor (OEM drive from Target-Sale mail-order $300) model 4A320JB 320GB 5400 rpm LOCKING NOT SUPPORTED according to config magic. Slayers 2.5 & X2-4977.06 bios. Since I don't care about LIVE I'm not going to risk killing my drive trying some more ways of locking it and I think the answer would be the same anyway. 296GB usable on F
Been running a week now with 85 games and lots of room to spare.
