Load times quicker from internal 4GB memory or hard drive?

[Tyger]

Hi guys, I've just upgraded my 4GB with a 320GB hard drive, but the internal memory is still available, and still has the cars from disc 2 and my save. Is there any benefit in me keeping this on the internal memory (which presumably is solid state so may load faster?) bearing in mind the DLC will accumulate on my new drive where there is sufficient space? Thanks in advance!

Yes I would advise to put as many games you can on your Internal HD....they will load slightly faster but it also easier on the drive and not loading as much data at once...Especialy when its a game like FM4 with ALOT of stuff on a disc.....The process will take a little bit though:tup:

Hi, thanks for the reply, but not sure you got me. If you have a 4GB Xbox, the 4GB memory is internal rather than a drive in the usual drive slot, so presumably is also solid-state. When you upgrade by, in my case, slotting in a 320GB hard drive in the side, you can use the new drive but still use the 4GB onboard memory (it's shown separately under Settings - Storage).

My question was is it beneficial to keep as much FM4 data as possible on the internal memory rather than the new hard drive, as the content may load quicker?
