deda Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 English isn't my native idiom, I'll try my best.Folks all of you forgot a important thing: the relation cost/benefitA hard disk is a mechanical equipment, if you defrag it every single day the cost of this must be very high!It's so different the normal tasks you do when use it normally from defragment it. The headers are under a high load, moving data from different tracks,sectors, etc., and grouping them in a temporary area, after they are moved to another area, and so on.I think once a week it's enough (it's the Vista default) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it dies, get a new one and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
