What's the difference from using the front usb port vs the rear port for transfer ? On Microsoft site they show the front port.
@watychaty6 жыл бұрын
Pat Thompson Between the two sides of the USB ports I would assume the front ones are easier to use so thats probably why they said that one if they said something like "ONLY USE FRONT" then there very well could be a more darker creepy reason why or that there incompatible with the back USB ports I would see no reason for them to be incompatible unless they were damaged. But between you and me I think Microsoft always hated the back USB ports, when the Xbox 360 E was released they removed one of the back USB ports so there is something suspicious.

I have an xbox 360 slim that has all of my game data on it. Would I need a different transfer cable from the one you use. Will the data on the original xbox 360 slim hardrive be corrupted and not be usable.
