MFT & MFT Zone, Directories

[enoskype]

Hi Everybody,

 

Now I have 2 questions.

 

1)

Reserved Zone is for MFT enlargement, for MFT not to get fragmented in the future, so they shoud be adjacent.

 

Why Deep Optimize in SD 1.1.0.2 places some files in between MFT and Zone Reserved for MFT in Vista, when they are already adjacent?

 

2)

Unlike in FAT (File Allocation Table) and FAT32, in NTFS (NewTechnology File System), Directories should be close to MFT.

 

Why SD 1.1.0.2 puts Directories in the beginning of the drive away ftom MFT, in an NTFS system with Vista when they are already adjacent to MFT?

 

I would really like to have answers from an expert!!!

 

That's not a quiz, I don't know the answers.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers.

it pays to defrag the MFT and boot files not sure if SD does this but if defraged once twice a year keeps boot up times sharper.

Hi sunny staines,

 

Yes, you know, I have written that in Think About Defragmentation!!! thread, that's why I am asking those questions.

 

I have great doubts that SD doing anything like that. On the contrary, it fragments MFT and MFT Zone and puts the Directories in the beginning of the drive.

 

Cheers.
