Rapid Fragmentation
James Reynolds | October 8, 2008So here’s the question: Is it better to have loved and … No just kidding.
Right I found that the problem with my PC was rapid fragmentation – Or at least that appears to be the case. During work yesterday I ran the defragger (because the tool reported a shocking 25%+ Fragmented data) and returned home to a happy and healthy PC.
The point being … Something here is defective probably the HDD itself … But if it IS defective but regular defrags not only fix the problem but keep the system healthy is it that bad a trade off?
The main reason I don’t want to warranty the piece of shit is because, at the end of the day, I think they’ll only factory reset / defrag it and send it back because it LOOKS fixed.
Whilst you might be saying “Yeah but it’s broken”. Trust me, i’ve worked as an engineer in a place like this before and it’s hardly their fault if it looks fixed but isn’t … In the mean time maybe my constant defrags will actually completely break the harddrive then in 6 months when these PCs are no longer on the shelf I can warranty the fucker and get something new
Thats the plan anyway. Company of Heroes still rocks but the German Panzer Elite do not.

Never buying boxed PC again.
