Original Xbox game saves on the 360
In the midst of the recent back and forth over backwards compatibility, MaxConsole member "FNG" figured out how to get Xbox game saves onto the Xbox 360 using Datel's XSATA Xbox 360 Hard Drive Space Saver and 360 Xplorer. Not only that, he made a video tutorial for the rest of us (see above}. Finally, going back (compat) doesn't have to mean starting over.
Datel XSATA connects Xbox 360 to PC via USB
That 12GB partition on your Xbox 360 not doing it for you? Datel -- the company that's carving out something of a niche with console storage peripherals -- has what looks like a unique solution. The XSATA connects to your 360 and your PC, letting you back up your console data to the PC, freeing up space on the 360. Once your 360's content is on your PC, you can also email unlocked files. Oh, and it has a blue glowing LED base, just 'cause. Expect to pay about $40, which is a lot less than you'd pay for an external drive for your 360 (though if you must have one, Datel would be happy to oblige). [Via Gadget Review]
Datel's no-muss hard drive adapter
You could spend $20 on a bare PCB that requires you to remove the hard drive if you want to access what's inside, or you could spend $40 and get Datel's XSATA device. It sits between the hard drive and the console, allowing the 360 and your PC to "share" the hard drive using a simple high-speed USB 2.0 port. It's a pretty slick looking solution, but I'd be hot-dogged if I added glowing blue-LEDs to my 360! How about a model that matches the 360's white plastic? [Thanks to everyone that sent this in]
