Disk Defragment - meetdilip - 10-15-2016
Do you defrag disc regularly ? Is it required ? If yes, which software do you use ?

When I need to defrag my disk I am using Auslogic Disk Defrag and its much better than Windows built-in program.

I usually defrag my drives when I install a new windows ( once in 2 years ), so yeah pretty rarely

On Windows 10 this is not necessary because the OS takes care of this automatically in the background.

How do you manage to keep Windows for 2 years in a stretch ? Most people end up formatting once in 6 months

2 years was a rough estimate, but still I only usually install a new windows when a new version is available ( which won't be possible now since there won't be any new windows coming ) but still, I manage to do it somehow

yes i defrag my harddisk once in a month but i only defraging on C partition, im using disk defrag feature from TuneUp utilities app

I defrag my hardisk once in week . Why you should defrag . Defrag is de-fragaging your fragmented data . So windows will easy read data because your data is not fragmented .just my theory .CMIIW .

for hard disk drive yes . but you dont really need it to defrag it every day because it probably will kill your hrd drive . you need to do it like a month or so and defragging the hard drive will improve the hard drive performance . but if you use ssd or solid state drive NEVER DEFRAG IT . it will reduce your ssd lifetime and some people fried their ssd or solid state drive because of defragment
consclusion is that if you have a hard disk drive you should defrag it monthly but if you have a blazingly fast solid state drive you sSHOULD NOT DEFRAG IT . NEVER . JUST NEVER . it will kill your ssd and im not responsible for that

This is not true, you can defrag USB flash driver, SD card, micro SD card and SSD drives too.
But this is not necessary bacause nowadays operating systems automatically make garbage collections in the background.
If you even so make a defrag then it won't kill, but unnecessary, and shorter it's life but not much. An SSD drive can handle about 1000TB data write easily, better drives even more. Best chips are SLC, then MLC, then TLC are the worst but the cheapest.
