It wont be fragmentation

PVR Harddrives are specifically designed with huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge 1/2 megabyte blocks (1k on PC) to eliminate fragmentation issues

Unlike a PC (1k blocks) mean they may only have fraction of a second to find next block - PVR's on the other hand have like a whole minute to find the next block - so fragment issues are really redundant
