ok who the f*ck is correct here
ive heard defragging can wear out your HD
De-Fragging is useful and pointless.
err NO this is un-true. Defragging is not particularly useful for computers that don’t shut down. It is recommended no other programs are used when defragging as the Drive gets used to its full potential to perform this process and even if the server has multiple drives, the processor's still get used fully to perform defragging.Defragin is only good(and even then its pretty usless) for servers or computers that u cant/dont shutdown, because shuting down your comp does the same thing as defraging so theres no point defraging usless your comp has been running for like weeks and you have been running many programs made by idiots.
It's not necessary but can be very useful depending on your use of the machine. If it didn’t take so dam long I would do it on a regular basis.It's absolutely neccesary to defrag quite regularly.
100% CORRECT.If you think about your registry and how it branches out like a 'tree'. When files are removed/installed/modified they can get placed at various levels on the 'tree', making them more difficult for Windows to find(slowing down disk access time).
Older hard disks will benefit more from defragging than most of the newer hard disks.
Defragging essentially picks up all the files and places them in a more compressed/logical fashion. The result is Windows can then launch/run/access programmes faster.
Especially this bit "The result is Windows can then launch/run/access programmes faster."
However on newer drives and with today's Processors and Memory capacities it does not need to be run regularly unless you like to keep your system at top performance.
