Piriform Defraggler will automatically detect the drive that holds the operating system as well as its filesystem type, total capacity, amount of free and occupied space.

#Keep drive spinning all the time software
On a typical personal computer system there will be at least two drives, one holding the operating system and software applications and the other one storing user data like documents, music and movies. Its graphical user interface comes out as clean and easy to understand, and it presents its users a list of the detected drives as well as more detailed information about each drive. It comes with all the bells and whistles needed in its work field. Piriform Defraggler is the name of the aforementioned software application and it will happily run on just about any computer system capable of supporting Microsoft Windows XP or Vista. This process is widely known as "fragmentation", while the reverse one is known as "defragmentation", and today I am pleased to present you a piece of software that aims at arranging all the data found on a hard disk drive in tidy blocks, in order to maximize writing and reading speeds, and thus the user satisfaction. The most severe performance penalty when using a FAT or NTFS filesystem comes from the fact that most files are not nicely and tidy written on the surface of the drives, but instead they are broken down and scattered across the whole disk. While not all filesystems that can reside on a typical hard disk drive share the same capabilities and characteristics, the systems used to store long term data on Microsoft Windows machines are sometimes plagued by a set of problems that seriously affect their performance.

The hard disk drive, or HDD for short, dates back a few decades and during all this time its basic makeup changed very little as it still stores data on metal disks that spin very fast around a central axis. In nowadays computer systems the venerable hard disk drive is the main data storage unit and its purpose is to "remember" all kinds of stuff, ranging from music, video and document files to games and software applications, though the list can go on almost indefinitely.
