XDON – Xbox Disk Over Network
What is XDON?
- XDON (Xbox Disk Over Network) is an app that runs on your Xbox that exposes storage devices over the network. It provides the ability to perform IO operations at a raw level using a simple protocol.
- When you wanted direct disk access in the past, you would have to remove your storage device from your console and connect it to your PC. With XDON, you can now leave your storage device in place and interact with it at network speeds.
- XDON is available for both the Original Xbox and Xbox 360.
For all the in depth details, answers to common questions, and installation instructions, please refer to the readme.txt inside each download.

- Coming Later: HDD Security Tools for the Original Xbox will support XDON drives in some way.
- Coming Later: The ability to connect to specific XDON consoles by IP address.
