Genuine Microsoft Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable — USB Data Migration Lead for the Original Xbox 360 Removable Hard Drive, Part X815251-002, New Old Stock
Upgrading to a bigger hard drive, or moving to a second Xbox 360, normally means losing everything on the old drive.
Check compatibility
Not compatible with the internal hard drives in the Xbox 360 S (Slim) or the Xbox 360 E. Those drives use a different connector and need the later dual-connector cable (part X812003-001, model 1499). The USB end of this cable plugs into any Xbox 360 console — it is the drive end that is specific.

About this item
This is the genuine Microsoft lead that moves it across instead.
Your gamertag and profile, saved games, installed titles, add-ons, avatars, music and video all copy over, so nothing has to be re-downloaded and no progress is lost.
One end clips onto the removable hard drive from the original Xbox 360; the other is a plain USB plug that goes into the console you are moving to. On a console with up-to-date system software there is nothing to install and no disc to find — it recognises the lead on its own and offers to transfer the content, and you simply choose to start it. The transfer takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours depending on how full the old drive is, and the cable can be used again as many times as you like.
These are new old stock: unused units that have sat in storage since they were made, carrying the moulded housing and the printed part label X815251-002 so you can see exactly what you are getting. Genuine first-party leads for this job are increasingly hard to find, and the copies on the market are unbranded. We hold a limited number and there will be no more once they are gone.
