I did but I guess I didn’t dig deeper.  The xPort site I found was this:  http://xport.xbox-scene.com/

 

Is this something different than what you’re talking about?

uh, no, the xsata is always on your hdd, the xport just sits on your pc and u plug in the hdd or mem card when u want to back stuff up, did u look it up?

Datal makes xSata.  xPort looks more like a game emulator.

 

I didn’t want to emulate the games on a PC, I am more interested in just backing up the hard drive and easily transferring the games between drives when/if needed.

 

The xSata looks like it might do the job but it sounds like the file system is a little complicated with alpha/numerically coded directories instead of simple directory names representing either the game or the game saves.

 

I’ll see if I can get more info on it and see if it will do what I’m looking for but this is a good start.  Thanks!

Is there a way or is it possible to connect a USB external hard drive to the 360 and backup or move some of the content off of the 360 drive?

 

I have a 120Gb hard drive and I’m not anywhere near filling it up but I wanted to know what my options were if I were to start downloading video or if I start to fill it up.

 

I’m a little bit of a digital pack rat and like to keep what I downloaded even if it’s demo or crapware.  But if I can’t keep it because of space constrictions the crapware goes first but I wanted to find out if there are other options…

 

I didn’t sell my 20Gb drive yet so if I really had to I can use that as extra storage but I wouldn’t be able to play or use what I’ve saved on the 120….
