    Swapping 360 slim hardrives.


    I'm getting a new hard drive, and was wondering how to transfer the data from the old one to the new one. Do I plug the new hard drive into the front usb port and transfer it with the old HD still installed? Or do I take out the old hard drive, install the new one and plug the old one into the usb.

    :)

    Hi,

    You only really need an official Xbox 360 Slim hard drive if:

    • The game insists on using an internal 360 hard drive. There are a select few 360 games that need to install some data from the disc to run, these games need an internal drive.
    • You still want to play original Xbox games.
    For almost all other Xbox 360 games you can install to a external hard drive via a USB cable. The Xbox 360 supports external drives up to 2TB. If you connect an standard external hard drive via USB you can just move the game or saves to the external drive.

    Unless your Xbox 360 drive is official, you won't be able to play original Xbox games. Most drives are not official. Any official hard drive will be quite old now as Microsoft hasn't made these drives for nearly a decade.

    I have an old Xbox 360 I use occasionally for games that are either not BC on the Xbox One/Series X or were never released on PC. I use a 1TB external hard drive. I also want to insure that my Xbox 360s old DVD drive will continue to work into the future, so I install my 360 disc games to the 1TB drive.

    Did you find an xbox transfer cable ? They are pretty hard to find and you can't just order any from Ms since xbox 360 is discontinued
