data vs iso

[marlborolight]

original X-BOX games were made in ISO form.
this is the true form for X-BOX's.

realistically if u wanted to make a backup of your original, u would want it to run smoothly and faster.
if thats the case, i suggest u invest in a bigger hard drive for your X-BOX. its only around £50 for a maxtor 120gig.
it makes sense if u have a lot of originals to backup, considering good media cost around anything £1- £3 depending on your choice of media(U.K.)

but if u decide to backup onto media, then an ISO will deffinately load faster and smoother, also during gameplay.

data files will make the laser work harder.
although laser are made to last for a long time, they dont last forever.
if a laser was to work harder, then the life span of it will shorten.

it is the same on DVD players when u do a lot of fast forward/fast rewind.

come on guys , how much longer does it take to create an ISO out of them data files (especially with a free program " Craxtion").
