3.3 Special Consideration

Defrag Your Hard Disk

Files on your hard disk will unavoidably become fragmented. Fragmentation occurs when the operating system must split files into parts and fit each part into different free segment of the hard disk to make full use of the hard disk space. If files on your hard disk become excessively fragmented, your system would have to work very hard to maintain all the necessary information about the files locations. This results in slow and bogged-down performance and it gets more and more seri ous as the time goes on . Therefore, it is recommended tha t you regularly run a defragment utility pro gram on your hard disk such as Windows Disk Defragmenter especially before you start saving recorded videos to the har d d isk .
