Defragmentation

Scenario: You want to defragment your disks or partitions. In your new Paragon program you can’t find the “Total defrag” option you used for this purpose in earlier versions of the program.

We do not offer any defragmentation components or programs anymore:

1. The contemporary hard disks are so fast that defragmentation does not offer a noticeable advantage.
2. The risk of dataloss in case of a failed or cancelled defragmentation is much too high compared to the benefit.
3. The on-board defragmentation tools of Windows are absolutely sufficient if a defragmentation should be desireable for some reason.

The only defrag option you will find in our programs is “Defragment MFT”. MFT is the Master File Table – the “address book” of the partition. => Wikipedia: Master File Table

A defragmentation of this file may be neccessary in certain situations.
