[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 31580, member: 11550"] It's only worth formatting if you are not happy with the performance. For what it's worth, I was getting terrible stuttering and it was driving me crazy. Nothing would fix it. In the end I tracked it to fragmentation. With NTFS, fragmentation is almost non existant but for some reason DVRMS fragments like crazy. My recording drive had 98% file fragmentation. After hours of defrag everything is now back to normal. This is also why reformatting gives such good results too. It's worth everyone using defrag to analyse their hard drive occasionally. [/QUOTE]
