[QUOTE="smf, post: 2668770, member: 159384"] It's a common misconception but games on WBFS can be fragmented, each game has a list that maps blocks to different parts of the disk. WBFS blocks are usually bigger than FAT32's clusters, which will ensure that there is less fragmentation (but it wastes more space). Also because you are limited to only storing WBFS files on there, your free space is less likely to get fragmented (but again, it is a waste of space as you can't resize WBFS partitions). Free space fragmentation has everything to do with game fragmentation, unless you move all your games to the beginning of the disk each time you delete one then eventually you won't be able to write a game without splitting it up. The only reason to stick with WBFS is if your favourite loader doesn't support FAT32 or NTFS. I prefer FAT32 as it has advantages over both WBFS & NTFS. The only down side is 4gb file limits, but splitting files is trivial compared to WBFS/NTFS. [/QUOTE]
