Just curious about the under the hood behavior when I drag multiple files to an external drive, or any drive for that matter, to copy the files. If I have 2 .mov files roughly 64 gigs and I drag them one at a time on make I get two progress bars. If I highlight them both I get one progress bar that says copying 2 items. It would seem to me dragging both files highlighted would result in one file copied then the next and would reduce the chance of fragmentation. Dragging them individually with two progress bars seems like it could be interleaving the files on the destination drive. Does the mac os try to map out a contiguous space for the files so that dragging them individually won't result in interleaving of the two files. Is this behavior any different on PC windows os. Just curious not really having any issues.
