Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum but I've been using defraggler for a while. However, this time I'm not sure if the time it's taking falls in the normal range of other users' typical defragmentation time.
It's been taking almost 48 hours now but it says there's like 10 more hours to go and I suspect it's gonna take lot more than that.
Of course, I googled first and read many posts (including this forum) that say fragmentation takes long and it is natural for it to have an inaccurate progress bar. I'm sure it depends on each system but there must be some sort of typical average time to expect. I mean, what's the odd of anyone's system taking more than 30 days to complete defragmentation?
Let me give you my PC's spec and HDD's info for better background.
CPU: Ryzen 5600X
RAM: 16GB 3200 * 2
M/B: Asus B550
GPU: RTX 3070 EX
HDD currently under defragmentation: External HDD, WD Passport 1TB
- USB 3.0 connected
- Buffer Size: 8192kb
- Rotation Speed: 5400RPM
- Power Cycle Count: 265 counts
- Power on Hours: 160d 6h
- Analysis results:
- 12 Fragmented Files (74.7GB)
- 684 Total Fragments
- 19% Fragmentation
- Current State:
- 12 Fragmented Files (71.8GB)
- 2183 Total Fragments
- 18% Fragmentation
I think it's showing abnormal behavior to take more than 48h to complete defragmentation. What do you think? Is it under normally expected range given the above condition?
