spyder810 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This is downright ridiculous. Over 30 minutes now to defrag 13GB of data (mostly large files) on a 5TB drive that is currently 54GB full. Drive is USB3, 200MB/s Read, 190MB/s write. I could have moved all 54GB of data off and back onto it in 20 minutes.... So what exactly is it doing? 11:20 http://i.imgur.com/JMT6DBk.jpg 11:30 http://i.imgur.com/BpaTRzZ.jpg 11:40 http://i.imgur.com/qdqFvi9.jpg 12:00 http://i.imgur.com/2oKdWMF.jpg 45 minutes currently remaining.... I don't remember this app being awful when first released. Edit: I cancelled it about 20 minutes later and finished the defrag and optimize in under a minute with another defrag tool.

Moderators mta Posted January 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2015 OS and DF versions? is this the first time you have run DF on the 5TB drive?how old is the 5TB drive? I seem to recall reading in a past thread about DF not liking drives over 3TB (but it could just have easily been regarding some other program) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder810 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 5TB is 2 weeks old nothing wrong with it. I just downloaded the latest Defraggler from the builds page (no install, zip) 2.18.945 x64, latest as far as I can tell. I've been using other defrag tools previously in the last week, and decided to try Defraggler again. The drive is used primarily for raw OBS encodes only ( large 2GB+ video encodes). Edit: OS is Windows 8.1 64 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted January 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2015 so this is the first time you have run DF on this drive? what is your OS? I went through the review history of back versions and discovered this; v2.13.670 (18 Feb 2013)- Added Quick Defrag scheduling.- Added Fragmentation Threshold to scheduled defrag options.- Added option to close Defraggler after defragmentation is complete.- Added support for 3TB external drives.- Added support for drives with allocation units greater than 4KB.- Added support for ReFS file systems.- Updated translations.- GUI and usability improvements.- Minor bug fixes. So if that was to add 3TB support, maybe 5TB isn't handled very well yet. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
