Windows displays 0% fragmentation while Defraggler reports 59%.
You should consider Defraggler the most reliable option. Your concerns about fragmentation are valid, especially with your 5-year-old HDD reaching around 59% fragmentation. The rapid fragmentation you're experiencing—about 3% daily—is quite common and likely due to frequent file writes.
Because defraggler is the worst defragmenter on Earth! A total waste of time! It’s ten times slower than any other tool.
It seems Auslogic DiskDefrag helped identify issues. Windows initially reported 0%, but after using the tool's suggestions, it showed 17% on the C drive and 19% on the D drive. I chose to try it, and it freed about 5 GB with no other changes.
