360 Transfer Cable doubts

[Elricmon]

Hi, can anyone help me? I was looking at ebay for a transfer cable to use, and I came across quite a few "copies", many of them from Hong Kong, here's the link Data Migration Kit Hard Drive Transfer Cable 4 XBOX 360 on eBay (end time 06-Jan-10 15:40:24 GMT)
Has anyone tried one of these, or a similar one? Do they work?
Its that the Microsoft ones are much more expensive...

 

[P.KID]

Yep. That looks like the real one. If you trust the buyer than go ahead and buy it!

 

[Elricmon]

i dont know the buyer, so, have you P.KID, or anyone, bought a cable at ebay and it didnt work?

 

[P.KID]

ive never bought any but, i got it with a hard drive.

 

[Elricmon]

ok, thanks anyway, i think i'll go for it, but i'll search a little bit more. i'll tell you if it does or does not work when I get it

 

[P.KID]

Good luck. hope that you dont find a faulty one!

 

[Elricmon]

if i do, i'll ask for my money back

From what I have been reading you would also need a disc to move your data from one hard drive to another. Is this correct? Does the Microsoft Transfer kit include a software disc?

 

[Elricmon]

i dont know, it doesn't say, but if i dont get a disk, as i am paying by paypal, i have that warranty thing, and i'll get my money back, so they have to send me a disk

I don't think the 360 migration kit uses the PC to transfer so no I don't think it comes with a software disc. Though of course the migration kits can be used on the PC, its just that I don't think Microsoft designed them to be that way. Of course there is software you can download free of charge and is quite easy to find.

Thats a bargain, the official ones go for £30+ on ebay.

 

[Dark Scyth]

and here I bought the Xsata... Major waste.

 

[Elricmon]

thanks, but the seller said he's going to send a driver cd

 

[InsaneNutter]

You dont need any drivers to use it with your computer, you just need software such as Xplorer 360.

With the official MS transfer kits you get a disc that you load up in the 360 and it copies everything from the old drive on to the new one.

Well a guide and software on how to access the HDD using your PC is somewhere here on Digiex. Though for some reason, when I tried it XPlorer360 was only recognizing my 120GB hard drive, not my 20GB and 256MB Memory Unit. But after all, the cable I used came with my 120GB HDD.

 

[Elricmon]

ok, I got the cable. It works perfectly and I got in a bit more than a week. A real bargain
