It depends how many games you want. Most people have a 120GB or 160GB hard drive. With those you can EASILY store 50+ xbox games. You need a utiliy called DVD2Xbox to copy xbox games onto your hdd. but Usually u'd need a computer to ftp dvd2xbox onto you hdd.

Any size HD (400GB being the max) will work fine, just make sure to get an ATA/133. Also, stay away from 5400 RPM HD's, as they are quite slow compared to 7200 RPM's. The most common that I install are 120GB and 200GB HD's.

I have never tested the EIDE interface one's and I cannot guarantee it will be compatible w/ your Xbox. Does anybody else possibly know if it does work?

If nobody responds, try to find an ATA/133 interface

P.S. On eBay, you can get a brand new Western Digital 160GB HD for under $100.

Yes that hardrive works because it's ATA/100. Also you can find great hardrive at great price at newegg.com
Hope this help.
