Which is more stressful on an hdd??
- 2000-3000 folders in the root directory of the partition
or
- breaking those 2000-3000 up into subdirectory(s) or genres, if you will..
reason i ask is because i feel like if theres alot of folders in the root partition, windows either takes forever to scan and display them and/or causes bad threashing on the hdd during the scan.. Anyone know what im talking about?
Well, ive also tried it by splitting up the folders into categories and its still the same issue..
Any remedies? Ive already turned off and disabled indexing on the drives...
