How long defraggler

Rogue Leader :. USAFRet :. Almost 2 hrs later Defragging is one of those things that has the potential to take a really long time especially if a lot of data has been moved around. I'd say get yourself a 6 pack you're gonna be sitting a while. CostaP :. Although I am worried that my pc will be on for that long! Ok so this is a little strange. At am this morning I woke up to check on it. All of a sudden my computer was doing some windows update things. It said something like, your pc will restart numerous times.

Now I presumed that was somehow the defragmentation completed, because I remember having that last time I defragged it. What on earth is going on? Did it even defrag anything? Damn, well looks like I have to do all that again. Need to find about 3 days where I am not using my PC to defrag it haha. Well thanks for the help and advice guys anyway!

The disk does contain approximately movie files which maybe have been the culprit. Does it take a long time to defrag larges files? Either way 4 days seems and inordinate amount of time. It's your digital life - protect it with a backup. Three things are certain ; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Drive Use. The Lacie is strictly used for backups and it also maintain my movie library. I run "SyncbackPro" every other day to back up my local drive and then now backup the LaCie which was just defragged every Sunday evening.

So it just must have been a case or rearranging the hard rive. But 4 days was a long time. It only took a copy of hours to transfer the 1. I defragment my USB backup drive only every say 3 months. Just finished! Took less than an hour for three drives! Thanks, crazycanuck. I run mine once a week on deep optimize before i go to bed.. I'll use the fast optimize if i have downloaded any large files or installed a new game and patches before i play or right after a download.

Windows defrag is the crappiest you can ever get. Even TuneUp defrag which is an extremely bad form of defrag is better than Windows. And with the average number of fragments above 1. For me, a some 5 years ago, in XP defrag took about 7 hours with about that much of data and that was when I got Diskeeper. Never regretted that because Diskeeper was a wonder. Diskeeper Pro Premier was fantastic and now is still more fantastic. I have purposely tested their Invitasking and found that if I defrag the OS drive even when I play Crysis at max settings my comp allows, I get almost no fps drop because Diskeeper utilizes so little resources and still defrags at least 10 times faster than Windows.

And believe me, most of the files were very small and numerous while there were quite a few very huge files too. You just blindly hand your system off to an app and wonder when you get it back. But another quick and easy defragger can be found at AUSLogics, which puts out a lot of handy little apps like this Diskeeper is what I use and trust, I purchased the Pro Premier for all the bells and whistles.

Defrag seems to do nothing for me so I choose not to use it. You guys live on another planet. Mine take easy. I can turn it on at night, let it run till i wake up, and it's still not done on double 's. My iobit smart defrag smokes through a defrag and deep hdd otimization in less then an hour on my 2 hard drives and thats if they are really chopped up. But it also auto defrags when your system is idle so that also helps and auto defrag shuts down and various customizable benchmarks.

It has a really decent visual indicator of how bad the hdd is fragmented and shows you the progress. Most of the time now the defrag and optimization only takes between minutes. Damn board errors when im trying to send a reply!!!! As I stated in another thread in ref to defraging, I had diskeeper and even though it's a paid progran, I like Smartdefarg over it, sometime free is better LOL Depends on your HDD. Your storage - how much you are using. The more files, the longer. Mb Cache - The more, the better.

How often your defraging - one time at a week is recommended. Well crazy I downloaded the smart defrag And its running now
