The tests are performed in the following order (details can be found under "Benchmark results"): If there is an outlier in the values, the test is performed once more. The system volume is analyzed with MyDefrag (Screenshot and statistics)Īll times (except for the creation of user files) are measured with a stopwatch.Īll tests are performed at least three times.A second screenshot of the defragmenter is taken.The defragmenter is started (usually with the default / recommended settings) and the time required to defragment is measured.Process Explorer is started to measure the read- and write accesses.The system volume is analyzed with this defragmenter and a screenshot is taken.The defragmenter, which is to be tested, is installed.This ensures that for example TV-Browser always loads the same data. The image of the system volume is restored and the system time is set to, 16:00 o'clock in the BIOS.The exact procedure for defragmenting is as follows: The files for the state after the defragmentation can be found in the corresponding entries of the respective defragmenter (see "The tested Defragmenters" below) The files are located in the Read me first! entry in the forum. This is done with a screenshot and a log file, including the information about the fragmentation of several parts of the volume. How efficiently they can maintain it will not be tested.īoth before and after defragmenting, the state of the file system is recorded with MyDefrag. they have only one chance to optimize the file system. The defragmenters have not been tested over a longer time period, i.e.The time stamp "Last accessed" is not updated any more by default since Windows Vista.


Thus, for example many files have a current "Created" and "Last modified" timestamp. there is little information about the long-term use.
