have seen as high as 7.

they seem to get faster the further along it goes.

look into using AUSLOGICS degragger instead.

faster and also has an option to move system files to the front.

I have a 500Gb HD, split in 2 partitions of 250Gb. running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, AMD quad core 1500Mhz, 4Gb RAM.

I'm defragmenting partition C, which has only 15Gb free of the 250. Windows defragmenter said it was 26% fragmented. After 30 hours it's now at pass 13 - 1% consolidated. I don't touch it while it's defragmenting. I'm afraid it's gonna take al long long time :-(
