Pc Help - Defragment Question.

[ベル・ムーン]

So, i cleaned off 400+ GB's of space and ran a defragment, this is the mid results,

How bad is this?
How much better with the PC Run?
Will this increase framerate in my games?
Will this help games run better in general?
Will windows 10 not be absolute garbage?

I'm assuming 38,000 is a very bad number, give me some input! :D - please no troll, just real pro pc people who know what they are talking about. Thanks :D

Thing you have to remember with a defrag is really just to optimize the performance of opening and locating files.

For example, when you save a picture to your hard drive it does not just sit in one place it scatters across the disk so when you open it the HDD has to find and grab all the corresponding parts to open it. All a defrag does is move all the parts closer together to open it faster.

It terms of better performance in games it wont be noticed but for general use around your desktop you will notice a difference in opening times.

You don't need to defragment manually. Let Windows handle this.

You won'tr see a boost ain frame rate, but you will see an increase in save and load times, if anything. Thing, is, HDDs are now so data dense that defragmentation isn't the problem it used to be. Heck there is no benefit to defragmenting an SSD

In the same order:
Irrelevant.
No better at all.
No.
No.
No.

On hdd only it have benefit - faster I\O operations (ecpecially, on laptop, slow disks, systems with one disk only) + Less rattling sound from the disc
+ If the file system / disk fails, it is more easier to recover data

Utilities in Windows do not know how to optimize the disk - there are several such utilities in the system that "optimize" in parallel, as a result, optimization make 99% fragmentation ...
I use two methods at the same time - a utility that create a disk image and then restores it from an image - it defragments the system's service files and NTFS (which is impossible in any other way) + defraggler with special rules, as a result, the system runs faster and easier to maintain - Full defragmentation is only needed once a month or two...three for the system partition, and once a year...half a year for the data.

Unfortunately, M$ has made drastic changes to NTFS since W8 and it does not work with some data, such as restore points (they are lost)
And with the W10 the situation is even worse... however, I see no reason to install W10 on a regular hard disk - this system was initially so badly optimized, that it normally works only on fast SSD's of the new generation, connected via PCIx 16x bus or M.2

As a matter of fact, utilities in Windows can handle NTFS, including the newer iterations just fine. If anything, third-party utilities may mess things up. Doesn't really matter anyway as utilities in Windows defragment drives just fine.

A proper defragmentation tool will refuse to defragment an SSD as it's pointless and only reduces the lifespan of the drive.

Dude...seriously. Copy pasting someone else's reply as your own? At least fix the spelling and punctuation errors.
