eL_PuSHeR Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hello. There is one "trial of fire" that I like to run on every defragmeter I try and, believe me, I have tried almost 15 or 20 of them. Namely, to hit *again*^the "defrag" button after finishing defragmenting. Then if defragmenter starts again, it's a bad one for me. A good one would say "drive already defragmented". Unfortunately, using Defraggler 1.20 on WinXP on a non-system 100GB partition, it starts moving data all around even if it's has been defragmented a few minutes before (and it took it a long time to complete). Of course, the partition was defragmented and no process was having any access to it. What do you think? Could this be considered a bug or just a bad placement strategy choice?. PS - Well, it's true defraggler won't start again when defragging an already defragged drive, but it will move a lot of files from the center of the drive if some files are added/modified. Still testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2010 How full is that 100GB partition? I've seen several defrag programs over the years do what seems like another full defrag if a hard disk is very full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
