Can I interchange two Xbox 360 HDD?

MiltDoggie · Jul 8, 2018

I have two Xbox 360 early gen 60gb hdd (the hard drive is on top, grey and removable).one Xbox has multiple Xbox live accounts but the other Xbox is brand new. The brand new one is physically in better shape but doesn't have Xbox live. The other one is all
beat up but has multiple Xbox live accounts. Now the question is, can I take the hard drive from Xbox 1 and put it on Xbox 2 and take HDD from Xbox 2 and put in Xbox 1?

Thank you J

:)

Worst map in the game.

For what they are the only map I truly despise is Interchange. You get four people camping against you two to a side in the middle watching each others back and it gums up the middle something fierce. The rest I can deal with.

External Harddrive Question

Hey, Im currently in India and I have the original xbox 360.

The amazon related site no longer is selling the external harddrives.

Im wondering If I purchase an xbox 360 harddrive slim (the little black one) will that work with the original xbox 360? And if not, is their some way I can make it work with the original xbox 360?

I was looking at the Microsoft Hard Drive Data Interchange Cable, and im a bit confused about this. As far as im aware, this can hook into the original xbox 360 and also the xbox 360 slim hard drive. Is this only used to transfer data, or can I use it as
an external hard drive for the original xbox 360?

Thanks for the help!!

Hi there,

Yes and no.

If you have 2 consoles original Xbox 360 consoles - yes, the drives can be swapped. If have an original 360 and the other is a 360 S or E with more of an internal swappable hard drive - no. You will need a transfer cable to swap the data from one to the
other. This page will show you what I'm talking about: https://support.xbox.com/xbox-360/accessories/set-up-transfer-cable

Keep in mind, Live is tied to the account that has the Live subscription, not the console itself. You just need to redownload the Live profile(s) onto a console and the account can play one Live.

Both the original 360 arcade models and the 4GB 360 S model will accept a HDD. The original Arcade model requires a clip-on HDD like

this. The 360 S uses an internal HDD like
this. The two are not interchangeable.

Yes, that's another thing. This does show why the HDD is not interchangeable; because it is built into the board itself.

Smwutches is correct; I jumped to the conclusion that tequilahitman
was asking about transferring between two 360S HDDs. But you can still use a
Microsoft HDD Transfer Cable to move data from an original 360 HDD to a 360S console. (Don't use a 3rd party cable; it won't work, and you're at risk of permanently formatting the old HDD as a "USB storage device" rather than an official Xbox HDD.)

So will the xbox 360 slim 4gb take a hdd from a xbox 360 slim 250gb? And is the only differences the cases and the hdd capacity in the two slim xboxs
