Xbox 360 Memory Stick Failing: Copy?

The memory stick I use in my Xbox 360 is generally working but sometimes it fails to read (or write?)... I would like to replace it.

Can I just clone the memory stick using my Mac?

Best Answer

Yes, you can use the command dd for that, which is available on all unix operating systems. it makes an exact copy of the stick.

See this answer on apple.stackexchange.com for details, here is an excerpt though:

Run diskutil to find the path of your USB drive
Run dd to clone the drive: sudo dd if=/dev/disk0 of=/dev/disk2 bs=128m conv=noerror,sync

Please note that the devices used here are purely as example, you have to figure the device of your usb stick yourself via diskutil
