Lets face it, Hard Drives are dull. They are one of the most forgotten about computer components and hence most people don’t show their drives a lot of love. However, if you don’t put together a regular routine to keep your drive optimized then the rest of your system will suffer.
De-fragmenting your drive regularly is crucial for keeping your PC ticking along nicely. TigerDirect News have put together a fantastic guide for looking after your Hard Drive which explains what are the common things that can go wrong and how to fix them.

Hmmm nice, but i am using net with 64kbps. Will this work for me....
Thanks for the info :) The article recommends Diskeeper, but I was wondering if there was an opensource or freeware alternative?
Hey Mosey!
I did a little looking around, and it seems that IOBit Smartdefrag is a recommended title in the Freeware space.
Hope this helps!

To me its like a silent disease that can slowly destroy the performance of the HDD. I have had enough of the nightmares associated with HDDS including one unpleasant death of a drive ( could not recover my data, one of the reasons being that it was fragmented and full beyond words)
