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:

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
