How to Turn a Flash Drive Into a Xbox 360 Memory Unit
If you're running low on storage for your Xbox 360, don't buy that new hard drive just yet. You can convert many of the USB drives that you may have laying around into Xbox Memory Units, which will allow you to install games, download files, and store game saves. The drive will need to be at least 1 GB in size in order to use it with your Xbox 360.

- Yes. The information stored on the flash drive needs to be backed up before configuring.
