Do you still defrag?

[Necuno]

do you still defrag and if so do you use built in or 3rd party?

 

[biometrics]

Haven't since DOS.

 

[Ockie]

Nope ... not since switching to Linux ... and now with SSD even less need to degrag.

 

[OMB]

nope, hasn't been a need for ages

 

[vicv]

Windows does it automatically, so... yeah.

 

[AthenianOwl]

Yes, I use Defraggler to do the job once a week.

What is this disk fragmentation you speak of?

Windows does it automatically, so... yeah.

Yea.. no, I doubt that.

More accurately - absolute waste of time with SSDs due to their rapid access times, and harmful because you're only using up write cycles.

Windows 7 and 8 do it automatically on mechanical drives, and disables it for SSD's. So yes.

 

[reactor_sa]

SSD. No defrag.

 

[howardb]

Not on my SSD's, but once every 6 months on my mechanical drives - currently use Perfect Disk 10 still

Last time I defragged must of been 2005, running on XP.

Now, if I still ran XP, I probably wouldn't need to either, I reinstall too much.

 

[koeks525]

Yoh, I tried defragging with Windows 7 about 4 months ago....but I couldn't believe it was done, it took like less than 10 minutes, and I have a 500GB Hard Drive on my laptop which was half full at the time.

 

[netcruiser]

I use defraging for security purposes. It overwrites deleted files, so making it more difficult to undelete any "top secret" files I may have deleted.

Same but once a month.

 

[koeksGHT]

Have not since XP

Haven't in close to 4 years. Just no needs for it. Now that I have a SSD, I'll never need to defrag ever again.
