Fragmentation Myths

Myth No. 2: Fragmentation is not a problem unless more than 20 percent of the files are fragmented.

Nothing could be further from the truth. If 20% of your files are fragmented and your computer accesses all files just as often as all other files, you are losing 20% of the power of your computer. In other words, it takes 20% longer to do everything you do. What does that cost you?

But your computer does not access all files just as often as all other files. The files that fragment are the ones you use the most. Chances are, the fragmented files are the ones you use all the time. If that's the case, and each file is fragmented into only two pieces, disk accesses are taking twice as long and your computer is running at half speed! What's that cost you?

But that's not all: Heavily used files don't usually fragment just a little bit; they fragment a lot. A large file that is modified frequently can fragment into tens, hundreds, even thousands of pieces in a short time. That degree of fragmentation can cost you 90% or more of your computer's performance when accessing the files you use most. Ever wonder why some Word docs seem to take forever to load. Well, that's why. Defragmented, these files load in a flash. Work goes faster; backups go faster; anti-virus scans go faster; everything you do goes faster. Does your computer take a long time to reboot? Properly defragmented, Windows XP can reboot in seconds. Diskeeper includes advanced defrag technology to make this happen. Shouldn't you be using it?

Don't waste the money you invested in your computer and the time you spend using it. Keep the computer automatically defragmented with Diskeeper and get everything you paid for from your computer - no waiting!
