[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 900499, member: 51905"] my experience with this type of softwares: - If you have an HDD BOOT drive, defragging drive C: is a must to maintain maximum speed. Defragging D or E drives doesn't have much difference. I recommend defrag your game folders or big programs like photoshop once, not the whole drive - If you have an SSD as boot drive and an HDD as secondary drive, defrag is not needed. Let windows TRIM your SSD - No need to defrag your HDD thoroughly because it will become fragmented in a brief time. A quick defragmenter is fine such as Auslogics. It's the best between defrag speed (extremely fast and thorough enough) and HDD speed gain after defragmentation. Mydefrag seems to be the best (or one the best) in speed gain but the defrag time is painfully long(n) and the HDD will become fragmented very soon. In fact, it's just slightly faster than Auslogics - The more thorough or the more time it takes to defrag your drive AND the more frequent you defrag your drive, the earlier it will get broken. I had 2 HDDs broken due to this behavior in the past => do not defrag frequently There are a few tricks to optimize HDD speed besides defragmentation. The speed gain can be much more noticeable than using the best defragmenters [/QUOTE]
