it's not the fucking SATA cable it's the firmware. Microsoft keeps creating checks to find small differences between their stock firmware and the hacked firmware that their drives are reflashed with and as they do new hacked firmware is developed to circumvent these checks it's a constant battle.

Everyday 2000 geeks die believing that jumping off a cliff will revert them before thier 360 broke. All we ask is you donate £/$ 2000 a day to ohnooosmy360diedandihavenomoni es and we can help save these poor souls. Remember a gamer without his console is a man who has lost his life support machine. Peace.
