What?

If the image file on your SD card is fragmented it can impact the performance.

You will see a warning:

Solution

  • Copy all files off your SD Card.
  • Delete all files off the SD card or do a Full format of ExFat
  • Copy all the files over to your SD Card one at a time.
  • The files should no longer be fragmented on the SD card.
