Défragmentation : risque ou pas risque ?

Bonsoir,

Pensez-vous qu'il peut y avoir un risque d'endommagement sérieux si le PC crash ou le courant est coupé durant une défragmentation ?

J'ai trouvé deux avis différents de deux logiciels populaires référencés sur Gratilog. Désolée, c'est en anglais :

SmartDefrag

Citation :
Can Smart Defrag damage my Hard Drive?

Usually a defragmentation will not damage your computer or be responsible for data loss. It can happen if power is lost during a defrag, or if somebody for some reason cuts the power to the computer during an auto defrag or a scheduled defrag or even if it is started by hand and the user is extremely impatient and closes it down by cutting the power.


Defraggler

Citation :
Why Defraggler is safe to use

Windows has an internal API (Application Programming Interface) that third-party applications such as Defraggler can use to move and delete files. This API works the same way Windows does when it moves or deletes files, and is very safe. Even if the PC crashes or you experience a power failure during defragmentation, Windows can usually complete the file operations or cancel them without file corruption. Defraggler uses the Windows API, and is a safe and effective choice for your defragging needs.


On ne sait pas si Smart Defrag utilise la fameuse API.
