jbowyer Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Based upon my younger son's recommendation, I installed Defraggler and ran "Analyze" on my hard drives. I have read the on-line documentation "Using Defraggler / Analyzing a drive", which includes the sentence "It's up to you whether the hard drive needs defragmenting." Hmmmm. The Microsoft Windows "Disk Defragmenter" program tells me explicitly "You (do not) need to defragment this volume", and it still allows me to decide whethet I will actually run defragment. I wish the results of Defraggler's "Analyze" were a little more explicit. At what "% Fragmentation" should I run "Defrag" on Defraggler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'd recommend running a full defrag once, and then schedule a defrag. (at least once a month) Personally, I defrag once a day. Takes me 1-2 minutes. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL_COG Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Microshaft (please excuse my disdain) may give specific advice but truthful and intelligent advice is better suited to most users. Probably the information of analysis is given and the choice of a possibly lengthy defrag is left to you. The best part of all is the ability of Defraggler to work while you do - that's revolutionaly to an old-timer like me. JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
