Re: Defragging my TP
well it is windows, and windows filesystems are prone to fragmentation, flash drive or not... NTFS/FAT, both are susceptible. TFAT is what WM uses.

Re: Defragging my TP
The reason it is so important to defrag your computer is fragmented files require the read head to have to jump all over the HD platter to retrieve the vairious pieces of data slowing down the read time of the hard drive. Defrag lines everything up so this is prevented.
Since NAND Flash/RAM isnt using a spinning magnetic disk with a read head I cant imagine defragging is going to make a real big diffrence. Maybe I am wrong and I am sure someone will tell me if I am. |

Re: Defragging my TP
Yes,.
The file system will get fragmented. That much I agree, however, will it degrade performance? I don't think so. Last time I checked, flash was small, and it doesn't take long for electrons to travel through a chip |

Re: Defragging my TP
The random seek time for a flash is the same throughout the capacity of the flash drive. There is no performance gained for a defragmented drive. This is also the benefit of solid state drive (SSD) that manufactures are selling.
