matttye Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've just downloaded this, and it's found a large number of fragmented files even though I ran the built-in vista one a couple of days ago. I'm planning on running DF on a schedule, I was just wondering how often I should run it - is daily overkill? Will I get similar results if I defrag it weekly rather than daily?

kmillerusaf Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 matttye, I would say daily is definitely overkill. If you do a lot of editing, saving, deleting, and moving of files, I would say to defrag daily. If not, you can get away with going 2 weeks if not a month before truly seeing serious improvements from a defrag. Just my opinion! Keith There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Keith That's great, I'll probably stick to doing it weekly then just to be on the safe side.. I do a fair bit of music ripping and converting.
