carpediem Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Running oodefrag on automatic, so it optimizes all disks every now and then. A few times a week. Very convenient :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz99 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Diskeeper does it in screensaver mode...So I go for a real defrag once a week and it's taking about 1 min. per drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titaniumdesigns Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I defrag every day, sometimes up to 3 times a day. I also use Diskkeeper 8 because windows defrag sucks and does a really bad job at sorting out the files. If you want you're system to run fast and stable its the best thing you can do, also takes less time to do if you do it more then once a day.

sukamusiru Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 defragmenting in screensaver mode :p get diskeeper Would that work with something like SETI@home or would I have to disable that program's screensaver mode?
