Raptor 150

I just bought a Raptor 150 ADFD and this is the first drive I've ever owned that fragments so easy.

I'm using the drive for gaming and yesterday I installed Quake4 and just from one game, installed the Defrag, said I should run it and you could quite a bit of red in the window.

I have been really quite surprised at how easy this thing frags, anyone else experiencing this with their Raptor, could this be, because of the 10k rpm?

THANKS
 
um

So far as I know, the type of drive shouldn't control how often fragmentation occurs. I haven't heard of this problem occurring with the 74 gig Raptors either.

i.e., maybe you were running something that was accessing the disk while your game was installing, and that resulted in some of the files becoming fragmented. Also, if you installed and then uninstalled just about anything, you'll end up with at least your free space being fragmented, if not some of the data files.

The type of drive has no bearing whatsoever on file fragmentation. Windows (well, the filesystem, actually) doesn't treat faster or slower drives (or ones on different interfaces) any differently in terms of how files are laid out.
 
When I'm installing games that is all I do, install. So back to my point, I don't see how the drive can become so fragmented just from installing one game, but it did. The Raptor 150 given it's RPM speed won't fragment any worse, then say any other SATA drive correct?
