thoste Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 When I look at the colored defragmentation map for a certain partition: Is the following then always correct: Top of map = beginning of partition = slowest part of the hard disk access ?

Thrak Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Top of map = beginning of partition = faster part of the hard disk access. the start of any partition is closer to the center of the disk, and faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted September 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2015 The tracks on a HDD are grouped into a number of contiguous 'zones' If your partition covers more than one zone then the data transfer from the outer zone will be faster than from the inner. In that case the beginning of the partition will have faster data transfer. With a bit of luck you might gain a few microseconds. You'll never notice, though.
