Inbox 0002: Hard Drive Partitioning for Speed
Wendell gives us the rundown on partitioning a hard drive for speed. This is also a great video to teach you how the hardd drive works. Hope you learn something. Also, be sure to thank Wendell for helping to make the new RazeTheWorld.com possible. Without him we would still be on freaking GameRiot.

I got my disk partitioned into 3 disks, one for w7, other for steam games, and the last one for storage for all kinds of stuff i havent thrown on the external, brb fragging my fracking disks.
Oh, and love u Wendel!

hey Wendell i have my drive set up to auto defrag weekley is this a good practice?
09 Jan 2011, 7:27 pm
yes, that helps but keep in mind that the built-in defragmentation program may not care where a file is, just that it is as contiguous as possible. Might check out diskkeeper or perfectdisk (3rd party defrag utils) for more info.
also windows does some stuff behind your back to make itself faster (google “windows prefetch”) but generally this stuff doesn’t apply to work files.

I have a question wendell.
You mention third party defragers, I used to use defraggler I am just wondering what’s your opinion on that or should I switch to diskkeeper or perfectdisk?
