I know Defragmentation isn’t something the new console would require. If anything it would probably use some form of TRIM on a select partition.

If you let the console set up the 16 GB on a 32 GB flash drive, it puts the ~512 MB reserved space outside the 16 GB. So you will get more usable Xbox 360 storage than if you just use a 16GB flash drive.

(I don't know whether you get back the GB lost to the formatting difference between 16,000,000,000 bytes and 16 x 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024 on a "16 GB" flash drive, though. That is, a "16 GB" flash drive will be 16 billion bytes, but since the console
uses the 1,024 counting you only get 14.9 GB usable and then it reserves ~512 MB of that for the system.)

no even if you had multiple 16 partitions on a flash drive (or a hard drive) the 360 will ONLY see one of them sorry.

The 16GB limit isn't a technical one, MS could make it more if they wanted, but for the moment it's 16GB per device. The 360 will only see the first partition, so even if you did partition it, the 360 won't see it.

You can use two 16GB flash drives at the same time though.
