We have just received into stock the all new Xecuter Xbox 360 USB X360USB from Team Xecuter. The X360USB is the most innovative product to come out thusfar for the Xbox 360. The boundaries are being pushed and Team Xecuter is the company pushing them! This device lets you plug ANY SATA hard drive or DVD drive into your USB 2.0 Port, allowing plug and play access for backing up everything from Xbox 360 Game Saves to media files on your PC.

Even better than backing up your hard drive is the new feature that allows you to read and write your DVD drives firmware. You can keep your drive up to date and maximize your performance with ease and simplicity. You no longer will need to deal with the frustrations of disassembling your case and getting dusty. The X360USB is also the most portable device yet for the console, allowing you to power your drives without using the Xbox 360. (The DVD drive requires the Xbox 360 Connectivity Kit)

Other amazing features include compatibility with non SATA computers. Now you can purchase an SATA drive and plug and play it through your USB port. Bright LED’s keep you up to date with your connections, activity, and power.
