Which naturally windows can't use. Formatting to escape defrag is a little overkill, also depends on your hdd speeds and what cache it has got. This has gotten a little off topic, but woo for randomness ^_^ Not defragging will but a horrendous strain on the hdd, the 360 uses a fat32 system with its file system and it has no defrag utility. deleting the small arcade games and now putting entire games on it will shorten the life span of the hdd by quite a bit. only ext2 & 3 can write and delete things properly.

It's faster to format and re-install everything by far. can’t say the time element has ever outwieghed the gains of a lengthly defrag on my pc either.

Though i'd still have to shell out allot for a 120gb hdd (unless i go through the fun of modding it myself). That’s a pretty good performance increase.
