How to Copy to an Xbox 360 HDD

An Xbox 360 hard drive (HDD) can store many types of data, including videos, music and video game content. Most gamers use an HDD as their primary memory device because of its size; it's the largest storage device Microsoft offers for the console. Therefore, some gamers may opt to copy Xbox 360 data from another device, such as a memory stick or Xbox 360-compatible USB flash drive, to their HDD. Microsoft allows gamers to perform this action using the console's built-in memory transfer capabilities.
