It wasn't the hard drives in 2006. It was the small high RPM fans that were everywhere, CPU, GPU, PSU, cases and even ram and HDD coolers. The loudest hard drives I've heard new were in the 90s (your quantum/maxtor fireballs and IBM DeskStars alike), but especially the very first ones in the 80s are super loud (when they were huge double slot 5 1/4'' peripherals, so a lot more rotating mass). Just look them up on KZbin.

@@AWAYTAE Or maybe more like "Air could be flowing in wrong places. Add foam around fan to seal the edges and make a clean path for airflow." The idea is to get smooth airflow between the inside and outside of the case. I might also think the new fan's RPM (how fast it spins) could be slower overall for the power it receives, so even with a gasket it might need a small bump over default. Not sure of this fan's specs, but quiet fans often achieve their quietness in part by spinning slower at any given power setting, so even if it could push as much air as the old one at the same speed, it might not hit that same speed with the same power setting as the old one. I could be wrong about that for this particular fan though!

Matt, I'd really like to see you getting a modern heatsink, that is suitable, or can be modified to fit inside, and replace the stock heatsinks, as they seem very suboptimal. That would heavily increase the cooling performance. I know that 60°C is fairly normal operating temperature for chips like these, but if you keep them at a lower temperature, say 30°, they'll last longer, which is an important thing to consider when we talk about discontinued vintage electronics
@HappyBeezerStudios
@HappyBeezerStudios 2 жыл бұрын
yeah, hardware preservation becomes relevant. Machined copper alloys liked in those coolers aren't much better at heat conduction than alu, but much heavier, so going for that sexy copper look might not even be the best choice. But a better cooler, perhaps something with heat piles and a more optimized fin profile should help getting the heat off the chip. Perhaps even an intake fan at the side (where holes are visible) could further improve cooling.

I mean I knew that faster IDE Hard drives worked better with 80 wire cables to reduce interferance which improves data transfer speeds but I didn't know it was required for the XBOX.

The 80-conductor cable was required for the faster ATA/IDE standards. So if you have a drive that supports Ultra ATA/66, 100, or 133, but use a 40-conductor cable, it'll perform only at Ultra ATA/33 levels at best. Given when it was built, I'm surprised the original XBox didn't already use the 80-conductor cable. And it's the faster modes the IDE->SATA converter boards likely require.

The extra start-up time is because of the IDE/SATA bridge; I don't think there's a bridge that's better about this. In fact, rarely, the bridge doesn't come up in time and the Xbox will actually just throw it's hands up and assume the drive is dead.

Ah, then possibly if he had spent the extra money for the Startech or comparable option he would have had the fast bootup. I ran my 1.6 Xbox on a 256gb SSD with the Starech adapter and it boots up immediately. Recently swapped it to a 2tb HDD loaded with the whole game library and tbh its almost made me consider going back to a SSD (maybe a 1tb with reduced game list) because the boot time as well as time to load any application or even the game list in XBMC4Gamers takes ever so much longer.

I always do this because it means no crazy folding right behind the DVD drive. And the part that goes to the HDD loops around the side of the DVD drive, then over the top of the DVD drive and on over to the HDD.
