I find that with pcs in for repair I need to run it about five or six times in succession. This drive is reformatted before each session as the quickest and easiest way to perform a total defrag! If you set things up this way you will be suprised how ship-shape things stay.īTW the Windows defragger does a reasonable job, but not in one go.
DISKKEEPER DEFRAGMENTER PC
One pc is set up with a drive for video editing. I use one for Windows, one for permanent data, one for 'workspace'. The remedy is to partition your hard drive. The situation is made worse by having lots of levels of undo as temporary undo copies/information will be stored on hard drive once the system (very quickly) runs out of memory. The operating system has fewer opportunities to place these on the hard drive and lots of smaller gaps occur where it will try to tuck anything it can. You are already doing too much.Īs an arts degree student you are probably spending a lot of time manupulating large (media) files. I think you need another defragger like a hole in the head.
DISKKEEPER DEFRAGMENTER FULL VERSION
We once considered that it was a ploy by Diskeeper to make you think you need to buy the full version from them.but regardless my two questions are:ġ) Is there something causing this problem that I'm doing? ie:defragmenting too much? Ive heard this can be damaging.Ģ) Does anyone have a suggestion for a really good defragmenter.preferably freeware as myself and my friends are in college and are skint in terms of purchasing power. Other students using the same type of laptop in my degree are seeing the same thing. I haven't noticed siginificant delay because of this.maybe 2 or three more seconds, but as you'll see in the is a lot. The laptop came preinstalled with Diskeeper Lite as the default defragmenter, not the windows one on older versions.nevertheless I have been using this Diskeeper Lite and been fairly pleased up until about two monts ago when my defragment performance map (the graphical representation) became increasingly pink, claiming that there were more and more low performing system files. Also I defragment around twice a week, usually because the accumulated artwork files from around three days are above 20MB, in addition to other defragments. As always, there are other files too, word documents, music (about 4 Gb).Anyways, I have been fairly diligent about keeping my computer running in top condition (running spybot, AVG, avast, cccleaner, and disk cleanup religiously). I had to purchase it for my school art degree so I do have programs like the adobe suite of photoshop, illustrator, etc. It is a Lenovo IBM Thinkvantage Thinkpad T60p. I originally bought my laptop in august of 2006.
