Re: Defrag or not?

Agreed, you have to be careful with defragging and disk encryption. That's another reason why I've continued with Diskeeper after checking up on it.

Recently, I've started using Truecrypt (it's free and good) for encrypting a 160GB harddrive where I store my personal financial records as well as a few research files from my workplace (lab). None of these are particularly sensitive files and the sky won't come crashing down if they are lost, but I like to keep them safe nonetheless. When I need to defrag these files (rarely), I mount the volume in Truecrypt and defrag using Diskeeper. So far, works without a hitch.
