I would like a defrag feature to sort files on disk by folder.
Lets imagine a larger disk, like 1000GB and we have installed like 30 games, each is his folder. But each folder, even with 0% fragmentation, can has all files spread along the 1000GB disk, reducing disk performance by a lot.
Example hard disk random sorted:
d:\
-FolderGame1
-SubFolder2Game10
-SubFolder1Game5
-FolderGame7
-FolderGame8
-SubFolder1Game7
-SubFolder1Game1
-SubFolder2Game2
-SubFolder2Game3
.
.
.
And that's only with folder, files can be stored even worse.
I would like to do a sort-defrag by folder, to sort files in drive stored contiguous in the same region of hard disk, reducing disk head movements and greatly improving performance.
Example hard disk sorted:
d:\
-FolderGame1
-SubFolder1Game1
-SubFolder2Game2
-FolderGame2
-SubFolder1Game2
-SubFolder2Game2
-FolderGame3
-SubFolder1Game3
-SubFolder2Game3
.
.
.
The only way I found to get something like this, is store each game on separated partitions, and believe me, it great improves hard disk performance but is a pain to manage.
I hope you will add such feature to Defraggler, thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
