I remember an east side meeting I went to (or maybe it was you tube) and this is what I remember....

Windows stores data sequentially like so:

11112222333344445555

and if you were to delete 2 and 5 then you were to save more data it would be

11116666333344446666

linux scatters the data around your disk like so:

1111000022220000333300004444000055550000

then you delete 2 and five and then write more data it would look like:

11110000000000003333000044440000000000006666

is my understanding of this correct?
