Hardware How do i get a HGST HDD to work with my Xbox 360 Premium?

So as the title says. I am curious about this. I thought this was just plug and play after i replaced the HDD in the enclosure with another 500GB HD from HGST. But turns out the answer is no. My Xbox 360 doesn't recognise it. It says something along the lines of "No storage found". So i came here for help. It's the drive in the screenshot. I found something about flashing the HDD with software called HDDHackr. But this is only for WD drives. Any help?

You won't be able to make it work.

I'm not entirely certain about the 500 GB HGST drives but Western Digital Scorpio Blue drives are pretty much the only drives that HDDHackr can inject a security sector in.

Wow really? That really is a bummer
Thanks for your answer though. It's really appreciated

Unfortunately yeh.

A WD Scorpio Blue should do the trick fine.
Make sure you dump your emulator partition from your original drive and inject it in the new drive if you want to continue enjoying old Xbox games.

You can however put the drive you have in a USB Enclosure / Caddy for 2.5 Inch SATA Hard Drive's, if you connect the drive to the 360 via USB and go in to Storage it should allow you to configure all of it for use on the Xbox 360.

The limit did used to be 16gb or 32gb, however its now 2TB if i remember correctly.

2TB as of now yeh.
Game loading can be done with external drives now as well iirc.
