Q: How long do they usually take to do I just did one and it was kinda fast but arent they suppposed to be longer
A: It's difficult to predict the time for a defragmentation run to complete since it depends on a number of factors such as the extent of fragmentation, number of files, available disk space, available system resources and disk activity, the quality i.e. thoroughness of a defrag, the defragmenter's algorithms etc. It can range anywhere from a few minutes for very light fragmentation to many hours for heavy fragmentation. If you want a fully automatic background defrag solution so that the time to complete a defrag becomes irrelevant, you can always download the free 30-day trial version of Diskeeper 2008 for evaluation from http://www.diskeeper.com Hope this helps.
