If you have a low capacity hard drive and want to upgrade it or need the hard drive for a modern systemS/E console, this guide will show you how to take the fat 360 hard drive apart to extract the hard drive.

There may be compatibility limitations to deal with, so buy the correct drive or it may not work. | | | '''''Guide notes''''' | | | * Try not to destroy the enclosure if you do not need it. These have residual value and can be sold to recoup some of your costs. | | * Any known compatible drive can be installed. Some drives do not work, so bear this in mind when purchasing a drive. |
