NTFS fragmentation (6 posts)

I've heard that NTFS is less prone to fragmentation than FAT. Is this true and why?

Re: NTFS fragmentation

 It's a more advanced file system, simply put. What I heard is that it is more fault-tolerant and I guess, it also applies to drive fragmentation. However, I also heard that it is slightly slower than FAT32 (Haven't tried benchmarking the differences) and also, if you run into any problem that disables your Windows, it is rather hard to do any recovery work using a start-up disk that can only read FAT32 partitions.
