Re: [Avid-L2] G-Raid transfer speeds - USB3 vs Thunderbolt

 

Fragmentation occurs naturally when you write and delete data. If you write on it and never delete or overwrite anything, yes fragmentation would be minimal.

160MB/s is likely empty or near empty. At 80% full and moderate fragmentation, you will likely see up to 50% drop in overall transfer rate.


   So if these drives were being used to back up camera cards in the field, for example, fragmentation should be pretty minimal and the transfer rate would not drop off so steeply, perhaps?
