The seller says this comes with a disk, it DOES NOT. there are no instructions at all. when i asked the seller about it, i was sent a link to download the software. again, NO INSTRUCTIONS WHATSOEVER. i managed to copy information from my xbox hard drive to my computer hard drive, but when i tried to "manage my data" as it indicates i should be able to, i ended up ruining my xbox hard drive. i snap it onto the console and the xbox does not recognize it any longer. this $20 product (which was only $10 on the sellers actual website) cost me about $100. i have not heard back from CE Compass since i told them that this didn't work and ruined my hard drive. i think they might me avoiding me, now... if anyone out there can figure this thing out, i'd appreciate any help... :(

You can get an official cable, which includes transfer software need to transfer from one HDD to another, for $15 + $5 shipping from Microsoft. Why pay more for a knock off cable and no software?

This is a ripoff. The software the send you a link for is an illegal copy of a different companies software.
The software doesn't run under Windows 7 without crashing.
The cable can be hooked up right or wrong, possibly damaging the hard drive.

If you are trying to do an upgrade of your hard drive, just copy everything to a USB stick, and one your new hard drive is installed, copy it back from the USB stick. All DLC, games saves etc can be copied this way. Then just download your profile or copy that also if you want.

These folks should be arrested for what they are doing. At a minimum, banned from Amazon. Like other reviewers said, if you want an transfer cable, just order it direct from MS. This cable is a sloppy fit. It looks nothing like what is in the picture on this site.

I felt it was rather obvious that this product was for people only looking for the cable and not the kit that comes with transferring data from one hard drive to another. If you wanted to do that you should have gone straight to Microsoft. I bought this intending to modify the data on my hard drive using my computer. Working with the program that was linked on the plastic baggy, I can back up my entire HDD onto my computer, mess around with it, and then load it back onto my hard drive easily.

P.S. If anyone's having problems opening the .rar file linked on the baggy you should google WinRAR and download it.

This product shows on disc cover that you can move data from xbox hd to another xbox hd and this product is not compatible with the xbox itself!!!

i thought i'd get everything i need to transfer my data but i need a CD that did not come with it. So i bought another one off here on like 2/16/10 and it still has not shown up but i got charged kinda ticks me off

This transfer cable is for modding only. NOT transferring data. It does NOT come with the disc you need to transfer data from one HDD to another. I ended up needing to order one from Microsoft with the correct equipment.

Also note, the product I received is not the one pictured. It is not a Microsoft product.

Mine included the software (which others reported missing), BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, even with the software, this cable DOES NOT WORK for HDD Transfers.

DO NOT BUY THIS - IT DOES NOT WORK!

I ordered the product and when I received it, it didn't work. I submitted a negative feedback for the seller. When I tried to get customer support, he would only help me if I removed the feedback first. I removed the negative feedback (BIG mistake!) and he still refused to help with the issue. I've turned it over to "Amazon's Investigative Team". DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!!

Got the cable but no software, and microsoft charged me to send me a new one, for only 13 dollars. woulda been cheaper from them in the first place
