[QUOTE="alister, post: 868276, member: 104434"] It's a function of Windows actually allocates space - mediaportal will ask for some space and Windows looks for the best size for this file. Now depending on if Mediaportal asks for 2GB or 500MB then asks for more windows will allocate an area for the file windows may assume that mediaportal is over provisioning and allocate a smaller area or not. This is what leads to Windows fragmenting the file. There are articles on this if you search for ntfs file fragmentation From what I've read the exact allocation algorithm is a closely guarded Microsoft secret. [/QUOTE]
