#License file for idefrag mac os x

That's just how Mac OS X works, and that's why It does it all the time.ĭefragmentation is like a side-effect, sort of. What it does, is that it rewrites a complete file when it is used by an application. By using this application I believe I will prevent performance slow downs in the future.Īnd even if I'm wrong and it was a waste of 30.00, well it was only 30.00, and I am sleeping better knowing all my data is packed at the beginning of my hard drive. Over time, fragmentation would certainly affect performance. I look at iDefrag as preventative medicine.

That said, I don't really notice a speed difference or a performance difference. I have used it about six times so far, and have had no problems with it at all. IDefrag works very quickly and has several different methods available for defragmentation. Once you start it up it unmounts the drive and goes to work (you will need to boot to a different volume to use it, I partitioned my hard drive and have Tiger on 75GB, 25GB to Panther for backup and for using iDefrag. The application maps it all out for you before it begins. First of all, one thing you will notice right away is there is a lot of fragmentation on your hard drive. I sleep better at night knowing all my data is packed at the beginning of my hard drive.

But you know what? Defragmenting my hard drive makes me feel better. Everyone tells me I don't need to defrag, OSX has its own defragmenting routine, OSX's filesystem isn't prone to fragmentation and so on. I recently purchased this program to defrag my PowerBook G4.
