Defraggler indicates that a specific folder on my PC, relating to a single application (car manuals & car parts catalogues)exceeds 10gb and that the folder and its sub folders are very heavily fragmented. I will exclude this rarely used folder/files from the defrag process which may speed up the overall defrag process considerably.

I have a new 2tb HDD of which 180gb is used and 1.6tb is showing as free. Defragger Analysis initially showed the HDD as 25% fragmented. After 5 hours, the Defragger status has crept up from 0% to 5%. Presumably this means that the defragmentation process is now 5% complete. If progress continues at this rate, Defragger will take 100 hours to finish. So I stopped Defragger in normal mode and have restarted it in "Quick" mode to see if it is any faster. Maybe then I can go back and restart Defragger as normal i.e. not in Quick mode. Is this normal ? I tried Windows Vista defrag last week and it was even slower - so I am trying Piriform.
