That is one of the silliest things I've ever read, re: fragmentation on a
flash drive. Fragmentation is only a problem when you have a physical read
head that has to traverse different areas of the media to read the data.
When its just reading electronics, it shouldn't make an iota of difference.

Later,
Jon
