There were more professional looking adapters for sale, but 50USD seemed overkill for something I might use three times and then never look at again. The original device is (apparently) no longer for sale, but there is a similar looking device in the store. There was also a link to the retailer who was actually selling the device at the behest of the original developer. (Photos from, reproduced here for posterity.)
#Sata adapter to usb a pinout archive#
The site the project was on is now gone, but Web Archive has it, including these photos: Hack-a-Day had an article detailing what appeared to be a homebrew adapter gone commercial. Like most projects, the first thing I do is a quick search on Google to see if anybody else has done the work for me, or at least done something similar. I could just pop it out of its case, but that woids the varranty. It's kind of a moot point because third-party utilities exist that will read the drive (Xplorer and Xport for example) - I just need to hook the drive up to the computer. I'm actually unclear on this subject - the file system of the drives in the two console versions may be the same or they may not be - I really don't know. The file system on the 360 drive has some relation to the original Xbox drive file system, which in turn was based on the FAT32(?) file system. The Xbox 360 hard drive is actually just a standard laptop form factor drive in a fancy plastic case with a proprietary connector.
I'll spare you the details ultimately I want to get access to the data on an Xbox 360 hard drive. This project is actually the result of another project that I thought would be totally simple but quickly got out of hand. Xbox 360 hard drive to SATA adapter Xbox 360 hard drive to SATA adapter
