or is this one if the top one isnt

Buy one and find out.

Do you mean are they lockable? for softmodding purposes in that case http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list

hahahaha,wow, that was helpful


i mean, would it take a modchip for the first one to work? i want a 250 gb,but not for much more than 55

Just use a recent softmod and you'll be fine.
The 137GB limit for softmods was circumvented long ago.
A $10 DuoX2 chip (or any chip for that matter) will also work.
Lockability is only important for Xbox Live purposes and softmods. . .
If you use a chip, you'll be fine. If you use a softmod, it's very likely the hdd will lock just fine (but not 100% sure until you try it).

there we go,thank you,that was very helpful, +1 in cool points to you

ok,so if i used the duox2 chip, would i be able to upgrade to that 250 gb hd, and use xbmc, and do other stuff like rip games to the hd and run emulators?

Yes.

cool,thanks, you get another cool point +1
