Defraging your hard drive the right way

If you have ever owned a PC you know how essential it is to make defragmentation of your hard drive part of your monthly (or weekly) ritual. If not, a routinely scheduled defragmentation of your hard drive can do wonders for both the performance of your computer and the health of your hard drive. Defragging organizes the data on your hard drive and ultimately reduces the amount of work being done by mechanical parts within the drive.

Mac Users will be happy to know that OS X performs file defragmentation while your computer is idle. Very efficient. For many new PC owners, Windows Vista and Windows 7 now performs a scheduled defragmentation of your hard drive automatically.

Tech-Fu Tool: O&O Defrag is a great free tool I have found to be faster and more efficient than the default windows defragmentation utility. There are also some great additional features you can play with to further improve performance.
