Im building computers for family and myself for a while.
Usually when a PC slowdown. I recommend to average
user to try first check for virus, spyware…. clean up thier
crap and then to defrag thier hard drives.
On my own computers i do run a defrag every 5-6 months
to keep it fast running. 9I usually do it when file
fragmentation rise to like 20% or disk nearly full.)
Recently, my girlfirend told me that a local retailer said to
her:::
that defrag do damage hard drives if you do it multiple
time.
Is that true?
I never heard that before. nor saw any damage on disks
that i have been using for many years. What you all think
about that?
HARDWARE:
Running on windows xp (NTFS)
Have both IDE and SATA hard disks.
As we are talking of defrag. Do mac computer need defrag
? Do it even exist on mac?
