[QUOTE="spiderwheels, post: 597110, member: 99116"] [IMG]http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae38/spiderwheels1/fragment.png[/IMG] This image shows the allocation of a single 5GB recording (1hour of HD TV). The parts in red are where NTFS allocated the file. Note that even the blocks in red that appear next to each other are still fragmented (that's why they're red) - the image is at quite a low zoom. The partition was not used for any other purpose during this recording (it is not the OS partition) As you can see there are vast quantities of contiguous empty space but yet NTFS scatters the file all over the place. Why?!?:S [/QUOTE]
