Data is stored in streams of varying size, a plurality of data streams are linked by references to form an application file such that each data stream is a portion of an application file, and an operating system transfers said application file between storage and a client application. Data streams that are below a predetermined size are identified as data fragments, wherein a plurality of data fragments are written to storage in a data block. Each data fragment is analysed to determine whether it is related in content to a first set of data fragments or to a second set of data fragments, the first set of data fragments is placed in a first block and the second set of data fragments is placed in a second block. |
