 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 hits from disk fragmentation can be
enormous. PC Pitstop has 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.

Emails
and Web Browsing are among the biggest contributors to disk
fragmentation. PC Pitstop 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 consistently defragment its own
restore points.
To
maximize the performance improvement from disk defragmentation, you
must do more than run a disk defragger on a semi-periodic basis.
Routine system maintenance as listed below should always be done BEFORE
doing
defragmentation and never after.
- Clear Internet Cache
- Delete Temporary Files
- Delete Junk Mail
- Remove Seldom Used Programs
- Maintain Over 50% Free Space
Remember
to close ALL applications during the disk defragmentation
process. Run the free Disk MD scan, follow the steps outlined above,
and get your disk spinning at peak performance with the most thorough
disk
analyzer in the biz. PC Pitstop has helped millions of users through
their free and automated diagnostics. Through these millions of
interactions, PC
Pitstop has developed best-of-breed applications such as Optimize and
Erase. Disk MD continues the tradition.
