In the video, the creator demonstrates upgrading the storage on an Xbox 360 RGH2 by installing a one-terabyte Samsung QVO SSD, using a purchased caddy to avoid dismantling the old hard drive. They outline the formatting process and the necessity of entering the console's serial number to link the new drive. The upgrade, while applicable to retail Xbox 360s, is particularly beneficial for RGH units because of their enhanced capabilities.
The creator also addresses reviving an Xbox 360 hard drive. They mention that a standard transfer cable was insufficient for transferring all licenses and data, leading to the use of FAT Explorer, a paid tool that facilitates partitioning, backing up, and mounting the drive for Windows access. Tools like 360 ISO Extract and Xplorer 360 are recommended for game compatibility and partition restoration, respectively.
Finally, the video highlights the performance improvements, notably faster game loading times, resulting from SSD installation. Successful data transfer and renewal of vital partitions ensure the Xbox operates efficiently. The creator concludes by expressing gratitude to viewers and encouraging them to watch future content.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the process of reviving an Xbox 360 hard drive. They explain that using a standard transfer cable didn’t successfully transfer all necessary licenses and data, thus necessitating more specialized software. The creator recommends using FAT Explorer, a paid tool with a seven-day license, which allows for partitioning, backing up, and mounting the drive so that Windows can access it. The tool enables dragging and dropping files and is useful when dealing with larger hard drives.
Additionally, they demonstrate using the 360 ISO Extract program to batch-process game images for RGH software compatibility. Another tool mentioned is Xplorer 360, which helps rebuild the second partition on the new drive by copying and restoring it from the old drive. The creator emphasizes extracting all partitions and saved data if you have an original working drive before reinserting it back into the Xbox 360.
Once set up, they show the Aurora dashboard which initially displays missing game box art but quickly populates it by downloading metadata from the internet, highlighting the refreshed and functional state of the games.
