A Defragging Question
Greetings TFP,
Is Defragging too hard on your harddrive to do it piecemeal? 10 minutes here while I in the shower, an hour there while I am out running errands, etc. Is it just better to do it all at once? Thanks! |
it will take longer, but if all you can spare is a bit here and there, thats life. it will not effect the life span of the drive by any mesurable amount.

Defragging bit by bit doesn't do any good. In the meantime (when you're not defragging), it's just getting more fragmented, negating any good that you did while you were out. Set it up and let it run while you're asleep or something :)

yes, you can defrag bit by bit, however, it takes longer overall because there is lead in and lead out time that is compounded.
however, it is faster to do it all at once. if your drive is really fragmented, and full, try copying some of the files off, then defrag it, then copy them back. |
Do you sleep? Seems the obvious time to defrag or do any time intensive computer operation.
