How to Transfer Data on a 360 With a Local Connection

Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game system allows you to store video, music, pictures, and games. These files are stored on the Xbox 360's detachable hard disk drives (HDD), and range in sizes of 20GB to 250 GB. If your current Xbox 360 HDD is too small to meet your needs, you can transfer the data to a larger HDD using a local transfer kit connecter. The content from the old HDD overrides the content on the new HDD.
