My recommendations ... ( 1 year ago by skaf7)
My recommendations (under XP):
1. Split your hard drive into a system partition for Windows and your programs (15-20 GB should be OK), and use the rest of the space for your personal data.
2. For your system partition, let the prefetcher do the job. It will not defragment all files, however, files rarely used are a negligible problem if they remain fragmented.
3. You do not need to defragment your data partition. With files as big as hundreds of MBs, fragmentation has no measureable impact.

I don't use WinXPPro-SP2 integrated defragmenter, but in PerfectDisk 8 it would probably defragment in a whole day :)

AusLogics Disk Defrag is made of win. Really fast to. Anyways, To all you asking about how long it would take to defrag a 500GB or 1TB (1,000GB or 1,024GB) hard drive, It really all depends. If you have been keeping track of your files and stuff like that. It also depends on how much space you have used. A rough estimate for an average user would probably be 1 hour with a third party program. And probably 1 week with Windows Standard Defrag.
