Anyone figure out how many KBs in 1000 blocks?

Hey everyone,

Asking this question because somewhere I read the original xbox came with a 10 gig hard drive, and they later lowered it to 8 gigs.

My xbox still has 50000+ blocks but I thought the xbox was partitioned 4 times?

1st partition - for cache to load games quicker

2nd partition - for music

3rd partition - for memory

4th partition - for added levels, charecters, costumes..from xbl.

Well, my basic question is, does anyone know how big 1 block or 1000 block for that matter is?

Halo takes up 1800 blocks on my system and my music takes up 5000 blocks... yet I still have 50000+.

So I can assume 2 things. When Music gets copied, it is than encoded in some very low bitrate WMA file, but high enough for it to sound good. And the other, Halos saves are humongous.

Thanks in advance to anyone that knows who can tell me.

For some reason, I recall that 1 block is equal to 12 Kilobytes...so, 1000 blocks should equal 12,000 kilobytes if that were the case.

I think I remember this from several months ago after checking out XBoxhacker.com

I heard somewhere that the Xbox had between 310,000 and 320,000 blocks.

That total would seem to make sense, perhaps it is closer to 500,000, so that for an 8 GB HDD, it would have 500,000 16 KB blocks. That would mean a simple use of FAT16, to give that total...
