Review of Hard Drive Data Migration Transfer Cable for Microsoft Xbox 360 USB

Customer Ratings:

When I went to install the software on my computer my virus scanner (Norton) told me that it had a trojan2 virus on it. I tried to use it straight into the Xbox and it wanted to format my old hard drive for use, which would have erased about 100 gigs of data including all of my Rock Band songs. I would recommend only using the offical Xbox cable from Microsoft for this, which I thought this one was.

The software is public domain pirate software. It will often glitch and crash, the cable even with good software will often cause failures. Do not buy.

Best Deals for Hard Drive Data Migration Transfer Cable for Microsoft Xbox 360 USB

I recently bought this item because I'm in a transition stage from my old Halo 3 Edition Xbox 360 to a new Xbox 360 Slim. I wanted to transfer all the data from my old hard drive to the new 250GB one in the Slim. I connected my old hard drive to the Slim and it isn't formatted to register my old hard drive as a Microsoft Xbox 360 hard drive; instead it simply identitfies it as a USB storage device. The problem with this is in order to format the old hard drive, it needs to delete all data on it, which is the last thing I want if I'm trying to transfer that data. The small disc that came with the cable doesn't run in the Xbox 360 Slim (and I hope it isn't some sort of malware). I'm really not sure if there is an instance you would want to use this cable unless you have a blank USB storage device that you would like to format for the 360 and put media on it from a computer and transfer that to the 360.

Honest reviews on Hard Drive Data Migration Transfer Cable for Microsoft Xbox 360 USB

I am beyond livid.

I had purchased this in hopes of migrating my data from my 20GB 360 HDD that I've had for about four years, ONLY to find out that this cheap knockoff DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED. As the other reviews had pointed out, when you connect ANY 360 hard drive via this piece of junk, it only recognizes it as a USB Storage Device, to which, the Xbox 360 will only format up to 16GB. Therefore, if you've purchased a 250 GB HDD in hopes of moving all of your data over, you're out of luck using this trash.

The transfer process involves connecting your old hard drive to the cable, while the new hard drive is connected directly to your 360. Sadly, the knockoff cable DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED, and the system will want to reformat your old hard drive, therefore wanting to DELETE ALL YOUR DATA!! Also, at least with the latest 360 firmware (as of 3/20/11), the included compact disc is only recognized as a mixed media disc in the 360; I havent placed the compact disc in my MacBook Pro, so I can't vouch for the disc's contents.

All-in-all, DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK! THIS IS A RIPOFF! You're better off buying the official transfer cable from Microsoft to ensure your data is migrated properly!

This is a horrible product, it did not work at all, either the disk of the cable. The tiny disk that it includes is only read as a mixed media disk that cannot be played by the console and when I connected the hard drive that I wanted to pass my content to, it did not even detect it. Seriously, don't waste your money, if anything this is probably a scam that should be reported and removed from the website.
