Hi tafkar, I use TT Pro 3 every two weeks at least and without a hint of impending danger. I hope you are wrong about about defragmenting being a risk on a healthy computer - you do have much more experience than me though. I concur with Illovox who wrote: "Over time, I find fragged disks measurably slow trashing and access times, and I mean by a factor of many times." . . . and with Len's excellent writeup that I learned from.
