We conducted a lengthy Study called Data, Data Everywhere and found that over 66% of used hard disks we obtained (almost 400) over eBay contained old data, often very sensitive and confidential as the photo here shows.

We get asked this question a lot by our customers. The answer is unfortunately not so simple. If there were only one “best method”, then we would only offer this one and get rid of all the others! In truth, each method has its own specific application to which it is best suited.
[more]This question comes to us a lot, especially in relation to newer (supposedly faster) hardware. “Does defragmentation even make sense nowadays? My computer is already very fast!” The correct answer is really: no and yes.

Durch den alleinigen Einsatz von Speicherbausteinen entfallen sämtliche beweglichen Mechanikteile einer Festplatte, was sich in einem geringeren Stromverbrauch und einer geringeren Wärmeentwicklung niederschlägt. Darüber hinaus arbeiten SSDs
Die Defragmentierung eines Windows-Systems bedeutet nicht nur eine Steigerung der Systemleistung insgesamt, sondern es schützt auch vor Fehlern, die aufgrund starker Fragmentierung auftreten können. Darüber hinaus erleichtert es auch die Rettung von Daten, sollte es einmal zu einem Absturz kommen, ohne dass eine zeitnahe Sicherung vorliegt. Die in Windows 7 integrierte Defragmentierung bietet ein Basis-Set
