You mean flash?

But looking at those cards, they don't say what type of chipset is on the card? You can find a VIA Sata card with the 6421 chipset that is compatible with 360 drives for way cheaper than the ones you listed.

Step 1) Break drive into small pieces with hammer

Step 2) Place drive in toilet bowl

Step 3) Depress and release flush handle.

You should then get a "SUCCESS, Hitachi FLUSHED" message.

(If that doesn't work try the Jungle Flasher Guide)

you mean flash. my friends 360 lost the frimware and needs to be flash so he can play games again i would like to do for him but im not sure what i need is there a lot of work done with this also im not sure on the program will any one do he has an hitachi GRD-3120L rom ver.:0059DJ i know you need a chip will this chip do ** VIA VT6421A Serial ATA RAID PCI Controller Card **

Add additional devices to any computer with this RAID
controller card. It features the VIA VT6421A chipset, compliant with Serial ATA Specification Rev 1.1, supports external flash for BIOS expansion and RAID functions. This PCI card has two Serial ATA connectors (one internal, one external connector) with data transfer rates of up to 150 MB/second and one internal
UDMA/133 IDE connector!

For XBOX 360 users, this card is the VT6421A (6421A) chipset. The only difference between the VT6421A and VT6421L is that the VT6421A requires MTKFlash (flash) to hexedit the port I/O's. If you use Xtreme Boot Maker, XBM will do this for you automatically.

For those of you looking for a VIA based SATA card that is not expensive, works and is available worldwide I have just tested and installed it. Let Windows search the CD for drivers and use xtreme boot maker to create a bootable usb stick.

Never even heard of the firmware you got.
