The fastest way to defragment your hard-drive
January 13th, 2008
I’ve been defraging my various hard drives for many years now.
Ever since the DOS days and Norton Utilities, and all the way up to the current XP machine, I’ve always been aware a defragmented drive is a better drive.
There have been many different theories and arguments about the best way to defrag your HD, what is the best tool for the job and whether defragmention is even necessary or not.
So I’ve seen many different ideas, suggestions, tools and arguments in my day.
VistaRewired wrote a great article about the fastest way to defragment your hard-drive - For both Windows XP and Vista.
The article claims “With certain tools, we were able to cut defragmentation time of 25 GBs of files with Vista Ultimate from 82 minutes to 6 minutes!!!”
In any case, the article can be summarized in:
Download Power Defragmenter and Contig (They are both bundled together) and simply run “Power Defragmenter GUI.exe“.
And that’s about it…
It’s a well-known, legit piece of software. Give it a go.
