Cannibal Corpse Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 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.

Spyder Veteran Posted November 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2002 If you let it go long enough, NTFS "learns" and starts keeping the drive in better shape. 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/49304-xbox/#findComment-499842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
