MyDefrag - Unlock Additional Speed in Hard Disks

If you don't already know what defrag means, then I suggest you learn before your system slows to a halt.  Unless you only use solid state drives (you'd know, because they're so expensive), then you need to learn the simple practice of defragging your tradition hard disks that use needles to access spinning magnetic platters.

So basically defragging is a simple practice that is a fully automated puzzle solver.  Think of your newly created data as jigsaw puzzles with the pieces just thrown into a box.  Defragging essentially consolidates these pieces (raw locations of data) into complete puzzles (solid chunks) to reduce the needle movement.  So if your still using hard disks with moving parts, then there are performance benefits to gain from defragging.

Does this move files in your operating system? No, those locations and file descriptions are all part of a constantly changing map (file table) to the raw data.  This map can get extremely complex when the raw data is fragmented.  Fragmented raw data creates extra unnecessary work for the map to access it (more needle movement).

It's not much to look at, but it sure speeds things up!

I've personally tested over a dozen of the top programs to take care of this task and none compare to MyDefrag.  In addition to consolidating raw data, it also pushes it to the beginning of the disk reducing needle movement even further.

The beginning part of the hard disk is proven to be the fastest. In addition to this double consolidation is an organization of raw data based on what it's used for.  For instance, the operating system's foundation is moved to the very beginning of the disc while massive video files are moved to the end.  Big files are slower to access regardless of where you put them, but small files definitely gain a boost from being at the beginning. 

This program features several modes for "System Disks" and "Data Disks."  Even a mode for "Flash Memory" - however I don't recommend ever defragging solid-state or flash since they access everything equally without movement.  This is also only for Windows users.  If your current Windows OS is installed on a hard disk (makes loading noises), then run the "System Disk Monthly" on it overnight and see how it performs in the morning.  If the disk showed up in MyDefrag as almost solid yellow (extremely fragmented), then your certain to see an improvement. Again, if you have a solid state drive - then you need not worry about ever defragging it for your ahead of the game.
