thats cool and all, and i understand that the xbox is slow in the first place, but numbers dont lie.....the first time i clocked a loading screen with the 40 pin cable, it loaded 40 percent slower than with the 80 pin cable, i dont give a crap what made it do that, all i know is that box loads faster than a standard xbox

i added a 250gb on mines and did not need any cooling.

the xbox is ata66 and if you do mods you're familiar with the x - scene and so the different with using a different cable is only a few seconds difference not a 30-40% boost.

actually your wrong......im telling you people.....i timed the loading......fable took 1 minute 53 seconds to load a save file with the 40 pin cable.....with the 80 pin cable it only took 1 minute 21 seconds....i dont care what ATA standard the xbox utilizes but it was faster....

yes, he is right. the xbox supports the 80 pin cable. but microsoft is cheap by only shipping it whith a 40 pin cable. its a very common mod
