[. . . ] Defrags are quick and performance is excellent. If you just wish to Consolidate - then the Archive option used in conjuction with this method vastly improves performance since about 80% of our files are archived. This then only leaves the drive to have to work through about 20% of our data when loading files. So you vastly improve our seek confinement regardless. [. . . ] Defrags with Consolidate and Archive and Fast Archive are fast and usually completed within minutes. Last Access Times For any of its operations that refer to file access times, UltimateDefrag requires relatively accurate Last Access time stamps for our files. Last Access times are how it generally determines file usage frequency. For this purpose it is suggested that we have Last File Access time stamping enabled. By default this is already set to enabled. Some programs and published Windows tweaks suggest that we disable it due to performance issues. In most circumstances the performance difference is unnoticeable however to get the performance increases that UltimateDefrag provides and for UltimateDefrag to function properly it is suggested that we enable it. To check whether Last Access Time Stamping is ON or OFF Go to the Command Prompt (Start => Run => cmd => Click on Ok) in Windows and type: FSUTIL BEHAVIOR QUERY DISABLELASTACCESS (then hit Enter) If it returns a value of 0 or "not set" then we do not need to do anything. If it returns a value of 1 then we need to enter the following: FSUTIL BEHAVIOR SET DISABLELASTACCESS 0 (then hit enter). our system will now be set correctly for UltimateDefrag's use of Last Access to work correctly. Please Note: Some antivirus programs and desktop search and indexing programs update the Last Access times of files that they scan and index. So if we typically have about 20Gb of regularly used data a defrag run will take about 1 hour. A 2 or 3 Gb HDD can take as little as just a few minutes(10-15mins) if we are using the fast archive option and a regular consolidate defrag. What method should I use for my very first defrag run? We suggest that when you first run UltimateDefrag the very first thing you do is a simple Consolidate Defrag without respecting archive or high performance. This will at least get all of your files and consolidate them on the outer tracks. Some drives may have never been defragged and may be a "mess". It will be easier on UltimateDefrag (and any other defragger for that matter) to first do this consolidate method. Then after that is done then you can and should go ahead and create your "defragging system". Does UltimateDefrag defrag my MFT and Page Files? Your page file, hibernation file and several other system files are defragged using the Offline Defrag option. Select Enable Boot Time Defragmentation in the Tools=>Options menu. How often should I schedule defrags to run? That is entirely up to you however we DO NOT suggest that you run complete comprehensive defrags where ALL files are ordered on a daily basis. This will cause unnecessary wear and tear on your hard drive without much improvement benefit. We suggest that perhaps monthly or every two weeks you perform complete defrag that reorders your archived files and high performance files. Then, as often as you want ­ weekly, or even daily, you can run a Consolidate defrag that respects the archive, uses Fast Archival but does not respect your High Peformance settings. [. . . ] We suggest that perhaps monthly or every two weeks you perform complete defrag that reorders your archived files and high performance files. Then, as often as you want ­ weekly, or even daily, you can run a Consolidate defrag that respects the archive, uses Fast Archival but does not respect your High Peformance settings. This way your archive files are out of the way and your High Performance files are still consolidated at the outer tracks of your drive. If they were not modified they will most likely stay in place anyway. [. . . ]
