Hi Everyone, Bit of advice please. If I connect my PDA to my PC, then click on "My Computer", If I call up the properties for the PDA, from there, can i do a Scan Disk and Defrag of my PDA and SD card, Is it a good idea to do it, if so how often, is there another program I should use. Is defraging/scan disk a good idea on memory cards in general, the one in my camera, Play station portable? Thanks in advance for any help. _________________ Audi A3 Sline sat nav

It is not a good policy to use Defrag on a Memory Card, because of the limited number of Read/Write cycles that it has. Although this may be in the millions, a Defrag can thrash a Card.
Much better to Copy the Card Contents to PC, Reformat the Card then Restore the Copied Files back to the Card. Probably quicker as well. _________________ Richard

The main benefit of defrag is to reduce seek times across a drive. While significant performance gains can be achieved on a mechanical hard disk (platter and armature), the gains are far less noticeable on a relatively low capacity solid state storage card.
