RE: HYPER VOLUMES - RE: "Never split index and data files ..."

Tim,

The outside track contains more data.

Think of it this way: there is "X" bits per square cm of disk real estate.

a "track" is constant thickness, but steadily increasing circumference, so the area of the track -- and therefore the data storable there -- increases.
