hi guys

DATA or ISO's..

there is a good way of testing this..! Only if u are able to install a game on your X-BOX's HDD from the X-BOX's ROM drive.

firstly burn a ISO image of that game onto a DVD-R , then a data file of the same game onto another DVD-R.

now install the ISO version onto the X-box's HDD via the DVD Rom drive.
calculate how long it takes and how smoothly it saves the game.

next install the DATA version using same method.

u will see that a DATA version takes nuch longer , and that the DVD Rom drive is doing overtime with lots of clicks.

the ISO version takes less time , and smoother , with the DVD Rom drive hardly making any noise.

now i would'nt want my X-BOX's DVD rom drive tp pack up so easily , would u ?

with DATA burns ,the DVD rom drive is working a lot harder...!!!

(all X-BOX sites say XISO is very glitchy)

i've personally never used it myself, but if 10/10 peeps say its not good, i stayed away from it.
