| 642183 | 2008-02-20 20:01:00 | As I recall Speedy the article did say that most people had no way of telling if the Page File was fragmented or not because the defrag programme uses the Page File whilst going about its business. I think it also said that the Page File only got fragmented because of Windows adjusting its size or the user setting it to a suitably large value. However, I’m only going from memory and I have no idea as to the credentials of the writer, so nobody take this for gospel. :D |

| 642187 | 2008-02-21 17:22:00 | Defragmentation is a waste of time on any modern filesystem. Fragmentation was a problem in FAT for small drives but should have no noticeable effect on any modern system. Furthermore unless your defragmentation program uses only atomic actions (and is slow as a result) it may corrupt your disk if the power fails part-way through. Also I would like to add.... With computer these days so fast who needs to defrag their computer? |

| 642188 | 2008-02-21 19:32:00 | maybe for some people day to day computing performance won't improve after defrag but for me, on a notebook with a slow, small hdd, all filled up defrag seems to help a bit it tends to reduce the time the system waits for the hdd |

Fragmentation was a problem in FAT for small drives but should have no noticeable effect on any modern system . finally some sanity is this defragging debate^^^^ Unless your pagefile is a FIXED size it will become fragged in no time at all . Perhaps there may be some advantage of a defrag after win install, but just using the PC will fragment your files . Going to defrag every day?? I remember comparison test in a PC Mag showing no speed noticeable diff after a defrag . (on modern NTFS drives) Its a bit like the whole RAM defrag software scam . |
