I often defragment my PC's hard disks, just for the speed and convenience but as you may know the times that it takes can fall out higher so I cancel it sometimes.
However every time I cancel the process at as example the half (50% done), the new fragmentation after interrupting, will be 3 times higher than when I decided to defragment at all.
If someone knows how this happens, does it mean an huge performance decrease or data corruption or not? I hope that it doesnt affect anything but fragmentation (speed) until I defragment on a day I have time to let it finish.
Its like;
I'm going to analyze me disk, see fragmentation at 10% and start defragmenting
2 hours later: Oh, its still going and I need my PC, lets cancel it already now. Hmm, it's now like 25%... so I did more bad than good by starting this today, at all
