its a PC data transfer kit,not perfect but better than the backaswards BS MS offers to keep you fro managing your data and protecting the content you bought.

[QUOTE]In conjunction with powerful free file management software currently available such as Xplorer 360, the Minispy will allow you to transfer game saves, mp3’s, demos and other media as required. The possibility of all your drive information being backed up safely on an everyday home PC is now a reality. This not only gives you extra security for your files, but also allows you to squeeze out every amount of 360 hard drive storage space available as and when you need it! The Minispy is so simple to use, just pop your hard drive off your 360 and plug it into the Minispy, you will now be ready to begin your journey on the quest for mass storage capacity.

If you’re looking for an even more advanced version which will work with SATA or Parallel drives via USB connectivity, then the Minispy USB is for you! The USB can be used with either Xbox 1 or 360 drives, with the supplied software supporting both formats. The Minispy USB of course allows data transfer from your original Microsoft Xbox in addition to the newer Xbox 360. The beauty of the USB connection is that it will not be necessary to open your computer case at any moment in time. All necessary cabling and software is included.[/QUOTE]

One of the reasons I have wrote off the 360 is the hard drive lock I refuse to put up with it, the locked content that could easily be managed via software repicts so they know what account holder owns what, I refuse to but up with such draconian BS.

Is there a better HDD kit out something that lets me pop in any HDD or is this PC transfer kit all thats avalibale?
