How to Transfer Data From XBox to XBox

The Xbox 360 high-def video game console does not have built-in memory to save any data such as games or media. Instead, the console relies on three different types of external storage units: the hard drive, USB flash drive and memory stick. Each device can transfer data from one to the other. This allows gamers to transport data from one Xbox storage device to another.

  Plug in the storage device to the console where you are transferring data. Keep in mind that the Xbox 360 receiving the data must have its own storage device.
