Defrag98: Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter Simulator Online

There's something satisfying about defragging that has been lost to time. Like oiling a squeaky engine

4 Drives, 5.5G total. Luxury!

Per-drive individual sounds, and BSoD included. Nice touches, love it!

I love this. I wanted the disk noise, and I got it. I will say that’s a lot faster than my drives were in the late 1990s though.

When I was younger, my friends and I joked about making a "Disk Fragmenter" which would enumerate through every file on the disk and split them into non-contiguous clusters to make sure that the actuator arm on your platter-drive gets a PROPER WORKOUT TO FEEL THE BURN.

I love it. A couple notes: - This is about 10x a real defrag speed - WAAAY too fast - IIRC the "Data that will not be moved" was typically lumped at the beginning of the drive, not spread out all over.

My computer's definitely gonna be faster after this.

Will need to degauss after this

Love the warning for using on a mobile device.

Need this but for AI models. Sleep mode where they self prune and optimize overnight for their daily purpose.

bill gates, I want my time back!

What were the major filesystem technology improvements that made this redundant?

I need to set up a Windows 95 computer with a hard drive and stream the defragging online, complete with live audio.

The sound killed me... :D

Brilliant. Whirring disk noise is nice touch.

If AI generated this is what the AI revolution is all about.

Can we get a cross platform screensaver?
