Is there a way to defrag the xbox 360 hard drive?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
When it first came out some sites did time certain games and it seamed to improve times overall but not drastically.I wonder if there's any benchmarks or anything that show the performance differences between installed games and non-installed games.

That would not have anything to do with defragging. Fragmented drive take longer to access data on the drive but do not affect processing speed (as far as I know?)they need a defrag tool because iremember when my cds would rip fast,
now they take hours to rip

I install games because without the installation my 360 makes a TON of noise. Enough noise that it is very distracting unless you're playing at a very high volume.I don't notice the difference between installing a game, except it eats up your HD.

"The 360 would have a problem." LOL, that's a good one. HDD problems on top of RROD and E74. Good one!nope no way to ,,, buuut then I dont think you need one the xbox handles its data allocation pretty well in a similar way to a mac I beleive, its not using windows so dont assume windows style opertation,,,if it were the 360 would have a problem lol

Defragging is so 1990. The 360 does not need it. And I can tell the difference between installed games and ones running off the dvd. Some games are just a few seconds faster and others can be 5-10 seconds faster. Plus you lose the noise and heat from the dvd drive.Sins-of-Mosin
Some games are a lot faster... Fallout 3/Oblivion for example... It can cut load times in half for them... It is like that for most open world games on the 360, as far as what I have experienced... (GTA4, Red Faction, The Saboteur, Assassins Creed/2...) They all load faster for me...
