Hey Theta,
how is that cable called ?
FEMALE to MALE extender AND/OR right angle SATA cable - or are those 2 different cables that i would need...

He is my end result:
Use the existing short cable and unscrew this cable from the bracket. Then I cut the part that holds the screws for the cable on the bracket off. Makes a nice tight fight. Any SATA extension cable will do the job.
If you are replacing the short sata cable, you need a SATA cable with the connector "UP" - Right Angled

Hey Theta, One quick question. How did you manage to get the wire through the back where the RJ-45 connection is at without breaking it? I can't seem to get it through the back.
I thought i had the same problem, but i unscrewed everything to take the motherboard out and fans etc, so that your just left with the empty bottom case. Then i put the cables through the usb/ethernet hole on the case and bent them 2 springy metal pins at the top of the usb/ethernet little box and put the motherboard back in. It was a bit of a squeese but it all went in fine and works

Backup copys perspective for the xecuter connectivity kit:
ex1.So this connectivity kit makes it possible to flash the dvd drive without the cables in the 360 pluged in.
ex2.It will also make so you dont have to open your xbox case ( or mod it ) to flash the dvd drive. You just plug in the sata in the kit... Is it like this?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME AN YES OR NO for each example. PLEASE???????

They couldn't even order an extension that would run from my mainboard to an L bracket at the back of my PC, so I could have an external SATA port.
Post by: jonwoo1982 on June 30, 2006, 03:26:00 AM
1) sata bracket ( just take the lead off of the bracket)
2) 1 meter normal sata cable
3) The normal sata cable from in the xbox
Step 1
Cut a hole in the top of your xbox and unplug the normal sata cable from your DVD drive and feed it through the hole.
Step 2
Plug the sata extension cable (from your sata bracket) into your DVD drive and feed the other end through the hole you just made
Step 3
Plug the 1 meter sata cable into the port in your pc (or pci card) and run it out of the case to the top of your xbox.
Step 4
When you want to play your xbox as normal just connect the 2 leads coming out of the top of your xbox, when you want to flash it connect the 1 meter cable to the extension cable coming out of the top of your xbox.
Sorted

And Scrano the black serial-ata cable is broken, my brother fucked it. That's why i need something to replace it with. Im pissed of to see all people buy special cables and shit, when i can't buy it.
I was forced to buy a normal serial-ata cable ( becuase the angled ones is "DOWN" not "UP" everywhere in shops here )
I had to cut off the thing at the side of the dvd drive so the cable could fit, i wish the serial-ata cables were smaller. The cable is not 100 % straight angled to the mobo, the dvd player push the cable a bit.

You dont need one
read what i post above, the sata bracket isnt for the pc!! you strip the lead out of the sata bracket and plug it in the back of your dvd drive, then run the other end out of the 360 along with the other end of the original little sata cable that was plugged in the dvd drive (leave the original pluged into to the xbox 360!!)
once both cables are out you can join them and use your xbox as normal, then when you want to flash, buy a 1 meter sata cable and run it from your pc to the leads coming out of your xbox!!

I appreciate the advice, I really do and with the lack of suitable leads to do this mod the other ways I've seen around it will probably be the one I do but I just wanted to make sure that I've looked at everything around.
I don't want to do the extension and get a week down the track and think, ooh I wouldn't have minded doing it that way.

Well, the video was made to show people that you can destroy all the clips from the ventilation shield without any problems, and it still fit perfect and does never fall off.
But you can actually very simple take it off by just grabbing it, and make a hole so you can pull out the sata cabel and flash.

I did this quite a long time ago, didnt think it was a big deal but stumbled across this thread and saw the nasty cutting of 360 cases so i thought i would contribute.
Doing it this way lost me one (or maybe both) usb ports on the back but most dont use them anyways and there are others on the front of the console.
required items :
7in sata cable
sata extention cable stolen off a 'external' bracket (although be aware its not a true external sata bracket. I believe spec external sata uses a different connector)
here are some images outlining the end result

(1) Purchased sata backplate via enay
SATA BACKPLATE
(2) Used tin snips to cut hole into inter mesh
(3) Unscrewed one of the two sata connectors from the backplate
(4) plugged one end into the back of the xbos dvd drive, and used a glue gun to stick the other end on top of the network port casing. I did this at a sligh angle to ease access in future.
Once reassembed looks like the first image:-

So the cable that usualy plugs into the back of the DVD drive (from the xbox motherboard, simply plugs into here...(2nd image)
The lead from the PC motherboard can now be plugged straight into the female socket for firmware upgrades.

Post by: ShMaCk2004 on December 12, 2006, 07:12:00 PM
basically its a 3 port SATA board with 2 inputs and 1 output with a switch so you can connect the dvd drive, pc, and 360 all together and no have to unplug and plug in cables, just flip a switch.
have it made so the port for the pc's cable and the switch are mounted somewhere for easy access, like on the side of the case...
anyway thats my idea.

This is my Completed Product , i got the idea from seom other pics i seen a few days ago
Looks like a brand new unit with Hardrive inplace
once you remove hardrive its pretty easy to get ahold of the Sata cable
i will probably put in a sata extension to make it easier , but it is done for the time being
Xbox360 1
Xbox360 2
Xbox360 3
Xbox360 4
sorry couldnt figure out how to put pics in the post , said i wasnt allowed to use img

The Samsung 162C is still nice to have. It's in place all of the time, and once you flash it with Kreon .81 it's no additional work at all. Plus you can continue watching the HD movie you downloaded from Live, while your ripping or burning that backup.

i think you can pull it off with a 4 wire switch... i saw a thread last week from another case modder on this site who used a 4 wire switch to do the same thing. i think it was called "darth vader" mod.
could you give me a link to it? ich can't find it...

Could i do this, with two 6PDT switches? Like choose between the wire go to MB from DVD and from DVD to pc?
it haves "ON - OFF - ON", and 6 points.
I mean every switch have 6 points on them, so if i use both i can get two wires on each, requires that i flip both when i wanna use the external sata wire.

But how do I get my computer to recognize it without the connectivity kit? I see all of you do this SATA mod straight from the 360 to the pc. I have mine set up exactly like that but the computer does not recognize it!
Send my tutorial, I have read some already but nothing.

There isn't any way to split the sata cable(Into left or back of xbox360) without brake or cut the box of xbox360???

I do one very simple question if you don't know or you don't want to answer please don't answer it isn't necessary to be so mean…

Wow - there is almost a 9 month gap between eatshitanddie & fitsman's post! I wonder whatever happened to this thread between that time. Or was no one paying attention.
Anyhow. I'll be getting a new XBOX 360 Go Pro bundle this Saturday. My old one got banned - sold it! I was thinking about doing something like this for it. So you basically just need a SATA Split cable, hook it up and you're good to go?
Sounds easy enough. Not sure why this isn't more popular. I'd rather this then opening my case over & over & over ....

I take it by using the Xecuter Blaster360 you could save yourself the expense of ruining your case and being able to remove the device if you ever wanted to sell it.

Exactly, it makes life easier instead of cutting open the case. I've only used it for my Hitachi though, not sure how it works (if at all) with the other drives. Never had to look into it.

i was just reading all these posts ( fromyears ago now), and i was thinking it would be cool if i could ...
put a splitter(2into1) the sata at the drive,
have a simple on off switch to the motherboard side,
then if ur feeling adventurous convert into usb with suddz idea (anyone tried that?) then then disconnect the rear usb from the board and send it out there, allmost perfect solution except for the switch, micro switch in the usb port would be sweet...
...but yer, as if i could be fucked doin any of that,
i think tomorow im just going to molest those plastic case clips one more time...
