Hi!

So I got an Xbox 360 Slim with 320 gb hard drive, im thinking of buying a new Xbox 360 slim because mine sounds like its gonna break.

My question is: Is it possible to use my old 320 gb SLIM hard drive in my new SLIM console?

Xbox 360 transfer cables

Is it possible to plug an xbox 360 original hard drive into an xbox 360 slim and use it to access that hard drive for storage? I want to buy a new xbox but I just got a 64 gig hard drive and I don't want to drop an extra 100 dollars just to transfer all
my content to a new hard drive I don't necessarily need.

Any way to transfer data?

I am planning on purchasing a larger hard drive for my Xbox 360 Slim. I bought the 4GB one, and was wondering if it was possible to use Xbox 360 Data Transfer cables to move the saves from my 4GB to my new larger sized hard drive.

Thank You!

Yes. As long as you're using the same type of console (Slim to Slim, fat to fat) you can swap the hard drives without any problems.

Get the slim it's better, however getting your old hard drive memorie to the new slim hard drive will require that you buy an Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable to make it easy.

For Original Xbox games to be playable on an Xbox 360, it needs to be an official Microsoft Hard Drive.

However, there is no official 120GB hard drive for the Slim, only 250GB and 320GB.

There is a 120GB for the original-style Xbox 360 and the later Elite, but not Slim.

If you are using a Slim, the hard drive itself will be the problem and you will need an official one.

you can do this with the xbox transfer cable
www.xbox.com/.../Xbox-360-Hard-Drive-Transfer-Cable, connect it to the old xbox hard drive then connect to your xbox slim using one of the usb ports, here is a guide that may help you.

kinda sucks that they didn't make the slim hard drive space compatible with my original xbox 360 hard drive

or is there a way? to still use my hard drive?

you can take the hard drive from one console to another no problem.

There is only restriction to this... the only way you can use the hard drive from the old style XBOX 360 on the new "SLIM" 360 is the following:

Using a USB transfer kit, you can plug the old style xbox hard drive into the new SLIM XBOX. You can then transfer stuff to the new XBOX. Note that in this setup, you can't use the old style hard drive for anything other than transferring stuff over.

If both XBOX 360 are the old style, there is no problem, just pop the hard drive off one 360 and plug it into the other one.

Note that disassembling the hard drive unit (to take the bare drive out) is not supported, and is a terms of use violation.
