John Gray Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The first defrag often takes longer than you ever thought possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramzy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Defraggler's defrag engine is insanely slow in comparison to the competition. I pretty much gave up on defraggler after all the issues related to RAM usage and the insanely slow / unoptimized defrag engine that seems to take the longest route when placing files on a hard drive. I'm not sure why defraggler opts to move files to the bottom of the drive temporarily when it finds a small gap of a couple megabytes in between two sectors. Rather than plugging up that gap with a song / a few files, it decides instead to move the next thousand sectors to the bottom of the drive, then re-order everything one by one. Not only is it slow, but it literally yields no performance increase and only serves to elongate defrag times. BTW i have a 400+400GB RAID0 array as well, and i experienced the same thing. My drives can burst at over 360MB per second, yet defraggler takes an eternity to defrag. It took 15 hours to defrag a 1TB hard drive, whereas diskeeper took 1.5 hours, whilst removing ALL fragments. Defraggler left a couple fragmented files behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
