PC Pitstop Disk MD v1.0.14.0 | 1.2mb
Every day your PC is in use, files are being written and erased from your hard drive. Over the space of days, months and years, your hard drive becomes fragmented. The performance benefits to disk defragmentation can be enormous. We have observed real life systems with files that have as many as 10,000 fragments! In these cases, your hard drive begins thrashing and the time to read a file increases by over a hundred times. We also discovered that one of the biggest contributors to disk fragmentation is Windows Restore Points. Each and every day, Windows writes and erases Restore Points to your hard drive. Although this provides a fail safe, it also degrades system performance each and every day. Furthermore, Windows does not defragment its own restore points.
