I am trying to run Defraggler on a 500GB drive. The drive has never been defragmented. I selected a Quick Defrag for the first pass, thinking it would start fairly quickly. How wrong I was.
26 minutes into the run and it has only just said "Quick Defrag Started".
Now the fun bit
174,204 fragmented files (129.9GB)
2,479,363 total fragments
114% fragmentation
Yup, one hundred and fourteen percent fragmentation
Defraggler is using about 750MB of RAM (peaked at 820MB) and between 2% and 8% cpu, averaging 3%.
O/S = fully patched Server 2003
RAM = 3GB (1.4GB in use)
CPU = P4 dual core, approx 2GHz
HDD = SATA 150, 500GB, probably Samsung
Other software running =
Kaspersky TSS server at between 0% and 3%, usually 0%
SQLServer at between 1% and 13%, averaging 3%
Up2date at between 2% and 8%, averaging 5%
Defraggler v2.00.230 (also happened on 1.21)
I run a full 5-pass chkdsk on the drive tomorrow morning.
Any other (relevant) suggestions?
Note DF2 is working beautifully on my XP, 7 and even Vista boxes.
I love the new customisable drive map. (The drive legend needs to include low occupancy blocks)
Thanks in advance,
