wawri Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 i have to defrag 3 times on my velociraptor drive to get the right performance with defraggler i recommend everyone do 2 minimum back to back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted March 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm curious. What performance level are you trying to reach? And further more, what is happening on the drive that requires multiple defrags every day? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

wawri Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm curious. What performance level are you trying to reach? And further more, what is happening on the drive that requires multiple defrags every day? on internet explorer 11 temporary internet files can rack up to 20 30 40 50 thousand files even after it closes schedule cleaners are fine but not reliable opera is my main browser for over 10 yrs it has setting where you can change it to 0 but thats only if you have a big page file (8000gb+) set or a lot of memory (6gb+) i can have 100 to 400 tabs open in different windows at a time if it defrag before i wake up and i use the pc during the day it'll start to lag because it defragged files but not reorganize like if you were to defrag twice to people like me will notice the slow down or just get a drive with great 4k random read/write features if you get a chance defrag with defraggler back to back and take note to the random read speeds before and after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted April 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2015 probably an area of lag that has never happened to me as I have always run any browser I've ever used in private mode. I'm quite happy to re-type my passwords rather than have all those temp files build up. but as an exercise I shall see what happens running DF back-to-back. have to say, not something I've even contemplated before.

eL_PuSHeR Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Try reducing Internet browsers cache size. They tend to be humongous by default. 200-300 MB should suffice. I have seen IE to build a cache as big as several gigabytes. Try reducing pagefile size too if it isn't needed. I have 8 GB RAM and my pagefile is 1GB in size. It can grow if needed though.
