Good work!Originally Posted by rossco
I use diskeeper too, and apart from the defarg ....function, one can also adjust the paging and MTF files....
If of course you only defrag your files occasionally, then it will take a long time. These programs enable you to choose on the fly defragmentation or, at specific times, when you are least likely to be using your computer... Defragmenting your files in a timely manner, will also save a lot of wear and tear on you hard disk or disks..... presuming of course that you have considerable numbers of files and GBs on your 250 GB hard disk.
That brings up another questions:
Because I am pretty much downloading torrents 24/7, is DEFRAGING possible when you're still writing data to your HD?

Ya, it just wont defrag what's being written.Originally Posted by Seedler
I started paying more attention to "defagging" as my wife calls it years ago when I got one of the first cd-rw's . Takes seconds on my setup using Diskeeper set and forget it .
OK I've sorta got some proof that defragmenting really helps.
When repairing rar files using par2's, a dvd-size collection (just under 5gb) takes about 12 mins for me if I try and repair as soonas it finsihes downloading (fragmented).
If I leave teh file on my computer until the next day, it will ave ben defragmented during teh night by diskeeper set it and forget it, and repairing only takes about 1 and a half minutes.
I've noticed this a few times and the results are consistant...
