Is it really worth it to make your own anymore?. I see a few places selling the 120gb drive (official with transfer cable) for £70 delivered.

The 120GB WD drives are about £25 to £30 - and all else you need is a scewdriver.

You don't require a transfer cable that way either - since you have to open it up just back the drive up to your PC over SATA and restore to the new drive from there.

Then spend the £40 you saved taking your partner out to a Jazz club for a nice dinner :-)

ah, i think you must of failed at maths. 200% would be 40Gb, so MS is correct that 60Gb is %300 of 20Gb

anyway, great news



I'd thank you to properly read what I say before trying to correct me, as a few posters have already backed me up. Microsoft said a 300% INCREASE, which is incorrect.

The one's in America don't, it's a revised falcon board with just a 65NM CPU. I don't think we will see Jasper until around Xmas time when they will sell a ton of them. August is just the shipping date I think for Jasper. They still have all the falcons to sell.

Actually...was thinking about this - it turns out that Microsoft is correct...

20GB drive has 14GB of free storage available.
60GB drive has 54GB of free storage available.

Which means it is about a 300% increase LOL.

PWNED!
