How to Change the Xbox Memory Unit

The Xbox Memory Unit, compatible only with the original Xbox 360, features 512MB of space for games and other content. The device stores saved game data, arcade titles, themes, demos and avatar items. If you've run out of room on your Xbox Memory Unit, you might want to swap the device out for one that has space remaining. You can also remove or replace the Xbox 360's hard drive.
