Stuwee or Graham. Do you defrag yours? Or do any maintenance to the HD?

Noooooooooooooo!!! Don't do that Larry, you defrag when your reading a file.

What are you messing with it for? is it not working right?

Don't touch it till Graham checks in tonight!!!!!

 

[stuwee]

Don't!!!

It is getting very slow to load. I can look at the files before I defrag. These are files. Just music files.

I don't understand alot of this stuff, but Dale does, he says don't do it, Graham spent a huge amount of time on these, wait till he says yea or nay......K??

Larry, no need to defrag, the drive was packed very carefully in a one pass continuous write. If you have deleted anything and there are gaps it should not be a big deal to give it a defrag. If you F**k it up I can send another it's up to over 900GB now.

LMAO Your a funny man. LOL I don't think it will mess it up. Plus the program I use tells me if I should defrag.

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

Well I did it. All is well so far. LOL

It was fragmented. Not bad. Has it been a year. I have to get some money and I'll start the one for the forum. So we can do one with our favorites. Then we can just transfer it over when we are done. We can all have one. Nothing fancy. Do we all use Windows 7?

As usual I am late to the conversation..... Is this the open source RockBox operating system that is used for portable MP3 players?

If it is I have only done a defrag after lots of erasing and before addition of individual songs. Can't say that I really noticed much difference to be honest. BTW, my MP3 is an old Archos hard disk device running RockBox operating system. I figured the defrag would sorta gather the pieces and stick them somewhat together, but who knows for sure.

Nah this was a gift of a 1TB HD full.
