Re: [Discussion] Defragging Opinions
I defrag at an average of 10-20 times per week.
I have done so since 1993 with two computers owned over that time span.
Each computer has been used for over 7 years before being replaced.
I have been following these types of discussions for 15 years.
I have never had a hard drive problem.

My stats are similar to yours, except that I defrag once every few months. I've also never had a hard drive problem, and there's no noticeable difference in performance after a defrag. And of course I didn't waste a bunch of time defragging. |

Maybe the one offered by another poster is as good as another...
The point being that excessive defraging does not neccesarily toast a hard drive.
(I love general statements)
For myself, there seems to be little if any measurable improvement whether one defrags every day or once a month with XP.
