100GB Hard Drive on the way for the 360?

[assen]

Another question is, how would you transfer your data if you bought a new drive.? I'd hope you can copy ~500mb at a time by swapping the drives back and forth. Get your saves, critical files, etc.

Very good and difficult question. Swapping the drives back and forth is error-prone.

Maybe a kiosk service at retail partners - bring your old HDD, they sell you a new one, transfer the data and buy back the old? Or PC program to transfer them to a PC with 20 G of free space and back to the new disk?

I doubt they'd go to so much trouble, anyway. Only a small percentage of advanced users will want to upgrade.

You mean using something like this (Datel XSATA transfer kit):

along with Xplorer 360 (http://www.360gamesaves.com/)



I have one and it works great. Came to great use when I had to replace my defective unit.

This one looks even sweeter : Datel Xport360
It even comes with the cable to transfer your XBox 1 game saves.
