Hello everyone,
I've read some similar posts but no one was on exFAT file system, so I've decided to create a new topic.
I have a 1TB 5200rpm external HDD, file system is exFAT. Today I decided to defrag it with ccleaner defraggler since my drive didn't show up on built-in windows defrag menu.
It started defragging, it immediately raised to 33% and now its moving extremely slow. After 6 hours its now 37% completed. Says its >1 Days to complete. On task manager, defraggler using 0.2MB/s disk. (I don't know if this is misleading information, since my drive is an external drive.)
Analysis results:
4 Fragmented Files(91,3GB)
60 Total fragments
%12 Fragmentation
I read that windows doesn't let it use cache on USB 3.0 and it might be useful on USB 2.0. Should I wait? and is it safe to stop the defragment now and try USB 2.0 or other things and start over?
Thanks.
