  1. I've noticed BitTorrent Sync appears to fragment my hard drive pretty badly.

    Setup:

    • 2 Laptops (Laptop A and Laptop B), both with 500 GB hard-disk (5400 RPM disk)
    • Laptop A has Windows 7, various programs, and 4 30+ GB folders (each with 10,000+ files)
    • Laptop B has Windows 7, few programs, and few files

    Steps to reproduce:

    • Step 1) Defragment both Laptops A & B
    • Step 2) Sync 1 30+ GB folder from Laptop A to Laptop B
    • Step 3) Check fragmentation of Laptop B.
    • It is now over 10%
    • If you repeat steps 2 & 3, then the fragmentation is over 20%.

     

    Any ideas on what can be done to prevent this fragmentation?

    Thanks!
