    Based on % fragmented to decide if one needs to do defrag.

    This is about a computer running Windows 10.

    To analyze a hard disk is much faster than to defrag it. So, I do analyze first, and get a number of % fragmented.

    Question:

    1. What % of the fragmentation below which I don't need to do defrag.

    2. Gray zone - it is OK to do defrag, it is also OK not to do defrag.

    3. What % of the fragmentation above which it is advisable for me to do defrag.

    Thank you very much.

    I guess you could set up task scheduler to do it.

    If I remember right , that weird volume name is a system reserved partition.
