Xbox


Recommended Posts

As you can imagine, the files on the Xbox?s Hard Disc get fragmented over time, due to the constant writing and deletion of games save files and ripped WMA audio files.

Do you think if Microsoft would ever release a utility that could defragment Xbox?s HDD for improved performance? (or maybe third party companies)

That would be very interesting.

isnt xbox drive ntfs? if so no need to defrag

uh...then why is there defrag progs out there for NTFS systems? (eg. Diskeeper, O&O...)

i'm running NTFS and defragging helps

If you let it go long enough, NTFS "learns" and starts keeping the drive in better shape. Files being spread out is not fragmented, only when the individual files are broken apart.

Does it really "learn" like that? I've never really seen and docu talking about that.

LOL imagine defragmenting a CONSOLE...

BTW, I find you guys funny. I've heard of nested loops and tables, but nested -quotes-?! Ha that's a new one... so I've decided to join in the quoting goodness.

:punk:

I thought the original question was a good one. It never occured to me. Have we even answered the question? I know there was some ideas (and then all the nested replies :D ).

that info is news to me...wasn't aware of that.

Files being spread out is not fragmented, only when the individual files are broken apart.
yea..i'm aware of that, though the defraggers I've used, after analyzing the drive and looking at the log, it shows that files are fragged into x many pieces.

anyways..originally all i was trying to say was that NTFS does have a use for defraggers.

cheers! :happy:

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
