  1. Unfortunately, I can't do any partitioning. The movies are usually played via Blu-Ray players or TVs that have USB input, and one of the Blu-Ray players in my house does not support multiple partitions (despite it claiming otherwise) and also only supports FAT32, and the performance-intensive stuff has those same restrictions as well.
  2. I have a 500GB external HDD formatted as FAT32 (yeah I know, "4GB file-size limit u should use NTFS or exFAT!", however I need something that works on many different devices and OSes, be it Blu-Ray players, Windows and Linux, game consoles, etc., and FAT32 is the only such thing really. Blame Macro$oft), which I mostly use for backups. I want to slightly repurpose it, and need to squeeze every last bit of performance out of it and can't have any file fragmentation whatsoever for it. Currently the drive is mostly backups (usually 7z archives split at 4000MB (no, that's not 4GB, that'd be 4096MB, and yes I'm aware of the MiB/GiB etc. prefix but only HDD manufacturers care to use that and even Defraggler doesn't use GiB/MiB/etc. even though that's what it's technically measuring in) but also has a few movies on there as well. My plan was to use Defraggler and just move everything on the disk to the very end to put the speed-needed stuff at the front of the HDD, however even after setting the minimum file size as 0MB and not filtering any file types from it, not everything was moved to the end, not even half of it, and there's even still a few fragments on there. Is there something I'm missing, or is there something else I'll have to use for this? Thanks.
