To defrag, or not to defrag? - GoFuckYourself.com

eMonk · 01-14-2008, 06:43 PM

It is believed that defragmenting all data on a hard disk on a regular basis keeps PCs operating at peak performance on older machines.

So does defragmenting have little to no effect on todays hard disk drives?

VicD · 01-14-2008, 06:44 PM

I defrag once a year, Watson

Answer to that is run diskeeper on a months trial then run without it for a month.

OK, your sig is tied with Juicy's as the most disgusting images on this board.

Jet - BANNED FOR LIFE · 01-14-2008, 06:57 PM

Defrag or suffer!

geeknik · 01-14-2008, 06:59 PM

It's all about the filesystem. NTFS and FAT suck as far as filesystems are concerned and aren't intelligent in how files are placed on the drive. The journaling filesystem under Linux doesn't require defragmenting.

Will keep your disk in top notch condition

CuriousToyBoy · 01-14-2008, 10:26 PM

Defrag or die.

woj · 01-15-2008, 12:15 AM

diskkeeper is great, not only does it defragment your drive, but also analyzes which files you use most often and optimizes access time for those files..

Violetta · 01-15-2008, 12:39 AM

I defrag every 6 months or something like that.

SayWhut · 01-15-2008, 04:10 AM

Upgrade to a Mac = No defrag ever again ....

blowme_DL · 01-15-2008, 04:48 AM

defrag!! thats all i can say

martinsc · 01-15-2008, 04:49 AM

i defrag once a month

Davy · 01-15-2008, 05:33 AM

You should definitely do it regularly.
As far as I know, it only makes sense if you have enough free disk space on the drive, though.
Otherwise the defrag program will more or less put the data in the same place as before the defragmentation.

Emil · 01-15-2008, 05:53 AM

Your harddrive doesn't have to look for data all over your drive if you defrag, it will make it stay working longer than it would otherwise. It makes stuff load faster too..

I use O&O defrag, it does defrag my discs automatically.

goldmine · 01-15-2008, 07:25 AM

i defrag every month, or every time i feel that my pc is slowing down.

I've had this laptop for 2.5 years now, and I've never defragged.....

eMonk · 01-15-2008, 01:54 PM

hmmm... i don't think diskeeper totally supports 64 bit processors... neither does o&o defrag...

eMonk · 01-15-2008, 01:56 PM

i'll stick with the one that comes with winxp for now. my next system will not be 64 bit. i'm always running into capability problems.

Not really when there are "options" such as VMware Fusion, Boot Camp, Parallels, Cider etc etc ....

Did you just suggest running Windows on a Mac so you can defrag an NTFS hard disk, or are you retarded enough to assume that HFS+ magically becomes NTFS when sometime provides pass through access as such?

dav3 · 01-15-2008, 05:04 PM

another bump for Diskeeper

sltr · 01-15-2008, 05:10 PM

man, i dl'd diskeeper and installed it based on all the good comments here and it shows the computer i installed it on- 1a327d77- whatever, but when i click on it to scan it says no computer installed, diskeeper not installed.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

VeriSexy · 01-15-2008, 06:11 PM

It'd a waste of time... don't notice the difference

eMonk · 01-15-2008, 06:51 PM

ok, i found a 64 bit version of diskeeper.

Why would a person not defrag? Click, go to bed, wake up, done.

Gordon G · 01-17-2008, 04:58 AM

once per month here.

dav3 · 01-17-2008, 05:05 AM

Fuck, I defrag before each time I play a game. Doesn't take long at all to finish when you do it that often, especially with the defraggin goodness that is known as diskeeper.

cranki · 01-17-2008, 05:10 AM

I've used O&O defrag in the past, has any of you diskkeeper users used it as well and can give a comparison?

cranki · 01-18-2008, 03:16 AM

I'm running o&o now and apparently I got a 86% degree of fragmentation... wonder if my system will be faster afterwards...
