I have no idea what "rules" the software follows when writing files to a drive, but a large file written to a fragmented drive is going to be fragmented from the outset. Whether it's static or not isn't going to matter. I've experienced this myself on a not too fragmented drive. I'd be interested in knowing what the drive firmware tries to do. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56381 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
