I was told that you need a utility disk to make the transfer happen. Does the cable come with the utility disk?

I didn't need any disk. Just followed the instructions, plugged it in, and transferred my files.

I never had to use a disk. You just plug it in an it will give you an option to transfer data to the new HDD under the memory section of your console settings.

They have to be transfered. This one does not come with the tools to do so, youll need to buy them if not taking it to a pro.

Mine came with everything needed including cables and software. But, I used DriveImage (http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm) to do the drive-to-drive cloning since I knew it was reliable. Everything worked perfectly. Love it - much faster, even on my old laptop!

Yes, Kevin... It is a plug & play device. It comes with its own USB cable, so all you have to do is plug it into the USB port of your computer and drag and drop files from one to the other. Best, Gene

I do not understand why it's not recognizing your GoFlex but I will say I myself use the Thunderbolt USB cable with my GoFlex and I've never had a problem with it. If you do not use the Thunderbolt cable then go to Seagate to download the driver so it will recognize your GoFlex. I DO recommend the Thunderbolt cable for FASTER transfer with any or ALL devices. Hope this helps ya and good luck !

When i bought it, the only cable that came with the unit was the usb cord. So you will need to buy it, but you can find a good deal here in amazon or in other stores.

I bought the bare bones kit, so no cable. However I replaced a laptop drive and simply used the existing cable.

No. You will need to purchase cables if it is a new install. You may use the existing cables if it is a replacement. Often, computers will have unused cables that may be used. You will need to confirm what you have to know what you will need to order with the drive.

No it does not, which has been a bit of a hassle as I don't have an external CD drive. Our other computer does have one though so I am able to get by downloading files on our other PC using its CD/DVD drive and then using our home network transfer to the Toshiba laptop

Only if you are going to transfer from one Hard drive to another. You don't need the cable if all your going to do is plug it into a 4 gb xbox.

Anna, I have used the cable with success and am not sure you can transfer if the computer has no power. I would not think this could be possible. Do you not have a hook-up you can use without the battery? My laptop has a power cord I can use even with no battery available.

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

It comes with the required cable. So far this drive has worked great for me

I have one in there but I can't remember if it came with it or not, I think I might have had to buy it but I'm really not sure. I always use the USB cable that comes with it when I transfer photos, it's just as easy, if not easier for me since I don't have a card reader built into my pc

I will give you a direct answer. You need a Microsoft brand transfer cable and a Microsoft brand hard drive in order for transferring content to work. I had to find that out the hard way this Christmas. Both the later model hard drives and the current model ones I am pretty sure have the same plug but they do make newer model plugs as well for the later release Xbox 360 consoles.

There is only one cable included that goes between storage device and a computer USB 2.0 port. Your computer must have that 2.0 port. Instructions are included.

No it doesn't. You have to manually log in and select the files to transfer/download. It can be somewhat cumbersome if you have many files.
