Solve : Frequency of defragging.?

1.	Solve : Frequency of defragging.?
Answer» I read an article by Kim Kommando stating that the defrag tool shouldn't be over used as it strains the system. I have talked with friends who use it monthly in order to regain or maintain optimum performance. Would anyone like to comment; and if you can, offer some this newbie other ARTICLES so I might educate myself?It doesn't matter how OFTEN you defrag, it won't strain your HDD. I defrag probably at least once a week because I use my system a lot. I also defrag after INSTALLING programs or downloading large files. Once a month is good enough, it really DEPENDS on how much you use your PC, and what for.Weekly...if your HDD is gonna fail defrag won't make it happen any sooner...
