I was reading in another thread about potential problems/issues with fragmentation after people had upgraded their RAM…. and it got me wondering.
I have had my machine for less than a month, I have partitioned the drive as C – 40 Gb and D – 80 Gb … with C being used for programs etc and D for data.
On C I have updated the drivers, loaded MS Office Pro, McAffee full suite (I had a licence from my old PC – and it does not seem to affect performance too much), Google Chrome and that is about it. I have not upgraded the RAM, and the default page file is about 1.5 Mb.
When I looked at the C: drive – I had around 4000 files and 31,000 fragments.
This seems excessive to me …. but is this normal ?
I have now moved the pagefile to D: Having now installed much of the software I will need, I will keep an eye on this.
Fragmentation is a hard drive thing. You should boot up Windows in safe mode about once a month and run the disk defragmenter if the computer has heavy use. I wouldn’t worry about it though because whenever a new file is written to a hard drive after something was previously deleted, it usually overwrites the space where that old file used to be. If your disk has a lot of free space I wouldn’t worry about disk fragmentation problems.
