[QUOTE="Tutman, post: 904023, member: 87079"] Well I decided to do a little test and defrag certain folders that have been accessed the most in the last two days with Wincontig. (Yes I have way too much free time!) Here is where my HD fragmention was (analyzing with O&O defrag) before doing so: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1599605902338.jpeg"]246087[/ATTACH] And here is results after with most used files/folders defragged with Wincontig using the default quick method, which didn't take too much time btw! [ATTACH type="full" alt="1599606173373.jpeg"]246090[/ATTACH] I was impressed that I did notice a difference... sooo I decided to use Wincontig to do FULL HD defrag of both drives instead of just folders and also switched to optimized method. Now this took a little longer but again very fast and not even half an hour! And here was the results after: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1599606319709.jpeg"]246091[/ATTACH] It actually defragged files on my F: drive that O&O had been skipping probably because of larger file size. And did it faster! His program does NOT use contig btw, he states it on his web site. And Wincontig is very nice because it can store profiles that you can switch between such as I did with full drives or just specific folders as shown here: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1599606994577.jpeg"]246092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1599607036867.jpeg"]246093[/ATTACH] And it's free and portable too! (I am wondering if this could just replace the use of O&O since it seems faster.) On a side note: I decided to do the "optimze all" auto optimize feature on O&O defrag and it went fast on the f: drive and brought it down to 0.06% fragmentation within a few minutes... now the c: drive is still going and is slower always on O&O defrag because being the system drive it chose optimize and on the other game drive of mine it chose quick optimize. It saying will take 3 hours to complete!? The c: drive is at 40% done and at 0.67% fragmentation. So I might either use wincontig for full fragmentation and use O&O to optimize after the fact or not at all? Either way all cleaned up and time to do another monthly backup! LOL. [/QUOTE]
