Threshold for Defraggler

[SeaMonster]

Be good if DF can include in future release where the program can offer Threshold feature.....when a disk is at certain % of Fragmentation, it will automatically start defragging.

 

Of course, users should have the abilities to set the thresholds.....you can see this feature in Perfect Disk....but I think DF can do better.

 

Thank you

I quite like this idea much better than a timer.

 

On the one hand, it is great being able to have a schedule, but on the other hand, you end up defraggling a drive no matter if the fragmentation is 1%, 10%, 25%, or 80%.

Having the ability to set a fragmentation threshold is much better, because you end up ONLY defragging a drive when that threshold is reached.

 

Which could be a week, a month, a year, whatever! Eliminating a lot of needless harddisk wear!

The one thing that the other defragger did not do a good job is that it does not indicate to user if the threshold is not met. The program just appeared NORMAL. And I had to check it myself on the threshold, to understand why the defrag did not run.

 

On the other hand, the setting of the threshold is really good, it goes by 1% increment, not 5 or 10%. I could set it at 4% and it would run automatically......In that case, scheduling features may be rendered useless.

Not sure if I understand the idea here (is it supposed to include system service to keep analyzing and monitoring fragmented level?), but it would be great if a scheduled defrag would run disk check first, then analyze and at the end if the configured treshhold is triggered run a configured type of defrag. If fragmentation is very low there's no point of defragging the whole drive for example.
