Defrag Multiple Disks

I have three hard drives in my computer, and I defrag them about once a month. The only issue is that I can only do it one at a time. My work around is to run the windows defrag tool along with Mydefrag, each running on each hard drive. Would it be possible to add the option to defrag more then one volume at once?

By the way, this is an excellent program and keep up the great work!

I suspect that defragging 3 drives at the same time would not be any faster than doing them one at a time

Since data must be transferred via SATA or IDE you're limited to the maximum throughput of the interface.

With 3 drives defragging all at once I would image the data would be bottlenecked by the controller.

Not exactly, but close. If a computer has Serial ATA and IDE on the motherboard, they are almost always has a controller for separate. Some motherboards have TWO Serial ATA controllers. So it depends. Anyway, this won't work unless Piriform allows it to defrag multiple drives at the same time.
