    Hard drive and DVD reader noise


    I've experienced the DVD grinding noise a few times but games still play. Since the last update, I have only heard the grinding DVD a couple of times. NOW my hard drive gives off a single CLUNK sound every so often...sometimes when I'm using the xbox sometimes
    when it's 'off' (I understand the xbox is never really off rather it's in hibernation...btw, terrible design flaw imho) but it's consistent. Is this a problem, meaning did I purchase one of flawed Xbox Ones?

    :)

    how do i get Halo 4 to run off the hard drive instead of the DVD drive?

    i have a new xbox and installed both discs to the hard drive but while playing campaign i can still hear the DVD drive making a ton of noise i can hear the laser moving around to read the disc. Is it not possible to play entirely off the hard drive?

    Okay, I tested it and it still reads Assassin's Creed 3 much faster than the other games. And the dvd drive has a different noise too.

    Any chance you could get a video of the sound?

    Is it this sound?

    mine also makes that 'chunk' noise on boot up, I take it that's normal? Sometimes it makes it while idle on the dash board as well.

    The clunk on boot up appears normal, but I don't think it should be making it afterwards when there is no disc in the drive. I think it is just the drive checking if there is a disc.

    It's been reported to the devs in the Early Access update preview but there has been nothing back yet.

  7. I'll just note that I can confirm I've had this issue too since the update and that when it did it while watching Netflix it caused a brief stutter in the stream.

    Nowadays in 2019: second hand Xbox 360 Slim or Super Slim?

    I am planning to buy the games from the second hand shop in a physical format (DVD)... and playing using the DVD... at the moment I am not planning to get the Xbox live gold... but who knows in a future...

    by the way, is there a way to transfer the games from the DVD to the Hard Drive? in that case the Hard Drive would be interesting to keep the games.... and playing from the Hard Drive... and maybe to increase the life of the DVD reader? thanks. All the best
