Hey guys, I know that there's at least one other topic on here asking pretty much the same question, but I require an extra feature.

First, like the other topic, I would like a defrag tool that defrags my HD while the computer is idle for 10 minutes and stop defragging on un-idle.

But unlike the other topic, I would like it to check the current fragmentation percentage and only defrag is the fragmentation is over a certain level (say, 20% fragmentation). I'm hoping that something like this will keep my hard drive in tip-top shape while not shortening its life-span with unnecessary defrags.

Also, on a side note, I'm wondering if that having at least 15% free disk space really makes a difference or not; or does it only really require about double the size of the largest file on the disk?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies. :)

    • RTD and Bad Wolf out Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now. The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore
    • Problem with that is Vivaldi is the slowest chromium browser I have ever used. I keep trying it every few months in case performance has improved. ...and it's not due to specs or config. 5900x/32gigs/RTX3080 here, Win 11 25H2 etc.
    • My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.
    • Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.  
    • My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.
