Hi!
Quick intro as it's my first post! I'm in the UK, just got a 6600 a couple of weeks ago and having a blast!!!
Here we go : I've ordered a PQI 128mb card which is arriving tomorrow. (yipee!)
Being Mr. preparation I plugged my MMC card into my laptop and copied the contents of it to my hard drive. Worked like a dream, sorry to everyone who has trouble with this, but a decent SD/MMC card reader and Win XP will make this the simplest experience!!!
My query is this. I've been concerned (as I've seen a number of other anxious people on here have) about the fragmentation of files on the MMC card after a lot of copying files and moving stuff. I've been using computers since I could walk, so I know the ins and outs, but it struck me that surely by copying the files off and back onto the card again, this must 'defragment' the files? I don't know the level of file 'rebuilding' this procedure has to be honest, does anyone have any deep technical knowledge of how a simple copy works? Surely it can't copy the data by 'location' on the storage device (i.e copy the fragmentation too...?)
Could this mean that 'regular' (legal: this is in NO way advice to anyone!!!) copying off and back to the MMC could keep the drive defraged and tip top?
cheers, wicked site by the way!!!
