lol%20Defragment.jpg


recently just repaired this laptop from spyware and now just running a defrag to make it go a little faster.

anyone got a worse fragmented HDD?
 
mine was nothing close to that even though I abandoned the defragment since I installed windows and been over 6 month lol
 
seen worse on a customer's pc almost ALL red... hadn't been defraged in years... 1000+ spyware items in adaware alone, spybot caught anotehr 700 or so, and the remaining stubborn few major pests needed hijack this...
 
I dont have any pictures, as i didnt think to take one when I ran the defrag, but It was somewhere around 29,000, 51% fragmented files. I had around 50gigs of space used and it basically looked like someone got a papercut on my screen :p .

yeah it was pretty bad
 
O&O Defrag every week...

I could not live with a computer if it wasnt properly defragged...



would you drive your car without an Oil change for Months? exactly.

Um, yeah. People do it all the time. They do it on an interval.

lol

It was a rethorial question - meaning you should defrag like you change your oil.. every so often and on an interval

Keep it Defragged from the start please... you are making geeks cry every where when they see a HDD as fucked up as that :p

more like throw laptop away :)

That was after a long week of constantly dl'ing stuff off of Newsgroups (alright.. not stuff... porn!) There were so many files you have to download and compile together for just a single movie! Download 100 7MB files, compile, delete. Download 200 7MB files, repeat!
 
you got nothing on me!

O&O Defrag Pro
Invaluable tool for optimizing, wouldnt want to be without it
I have it intgrated into the MMC and from the commandline as well
running version 4

It gives you more options, lets you defrag based on date, filename, etc.

I have never understood how either of those options would be valuable.

Complete Name > Using this convention it is possible for you to create directories that will comntain Program Groups closer to the OD (Outer Diameter) of the HDD platter where both the sustained transfer rate and the latency are better, alternately, aps or data that doesnt require a high sustained transfer or that are infrequently accessed can be placed in a directory closer to the ID of the platter (or partition) basically it extends the partition strategy into a single partition, my Adobe and AutoCAD directories being in a much better position than Video Directory (media doesnt require much if its read only)

Complete Date or Access > are primarilly for Database server use, though if you give some thought to it....
say you mount an NTFS Volume as a folder (we'll make it a logical partition\drive in the backend of the HDD in an extended partition) this partition simply holds email files or docs, none of them very big, so even with the lower density in the ID of the disk, the files are also smaller and the latency thus offset, organizing these by date is likely adventageous since your more likely to need to access those than older "storage", thus those files will be closer to the front of the partition, so that when accessed the armeture and head will have less distance to traverse and their position farther out from the ID will have better density and thus lower latency

(caveat, by placing those small and frequently access files as a mounted drive located at the back of the HDD, the arm would need to traverse far outside its "normal" OS partition with considerable ncreased latency, your best access is within any given partition, one of the reasons indexing can have a negative impact on HDD performance, so downloading and writing email as you recieve it by leaving your client open as opposed to checking your email a few times a day can act very similar to indexing, would have little impact for gebneral use, but if your Photoshopin or working on some other disk intensive access, it can be a performance loss)

to understand disk access optimizing its important to understand disks first
Id highly recommend the As the Hard Disc Spins series @ Lost Circuits and Partitioning Strategies @ Radified

personally I recommend you trial the big three and see what features you apprciate most
Diskeeper, O&O and PerfectDisk

live with em awhile then decide ;)
 
This picture is taken right after I degragged with disk keeper..

Anyone has any idea why disk keeper recommends me a defrag right after I already told it to do so?

not enough free space, you need a certian percentage to defrag properly, i dont think you have it lol
 
Whats it show after the defrag window? (Your screenie is of the Analysis window)
 
I could swear just yesterday that the diskeeper findings on my file server was at 1.18 I did a defragmentation in about less than an hour. But at the gaming computer it was at 1.20 number of fragments per file.
 
And I thought I was bad with just a few thin red bars on my P2P drive. :eek: :eek:



How do these computers even WORK in that condition?!
 
Yep. Doc Backup is a second raid 5 array that has 90% porn and 10% Documents when its full. Then I delete all the porn and start all over again.

The larger Raid 5 array is all DVD rips.
 
i went to a lan party in october, so did some maintenance on my box before hand. 40gb hd; 38gb used. I had used bit torrent extensivly at the time; and hadnt defragged since aughust. Twas 80% red:p
 
Worst I had was around 60%. That was the rar drive and that'll fragment a drive worse than anything.
