Just wondering if its safe to defrag files, power cuts here sometimes and am afraid of losing files while defragging..

I have a 500GB Seagate HDD and a 250GB Maxtor HDD,
%13 fragmented files on system disk, %4 on the other 2s.

I've defragged those 2 %4 local disk already, it takes an hour to do so.
Idk much about defragging, does it improve the hdd performance? (minimize loadspeed etc)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I also have a problem with it, sometimes if i play heavy games for too long the HDD makes some sorta noise like it just shutsdown and then the game freezes (PC lights, no response), 20-30 seconds later it makes the same noise again and the game goes back to normal (and it happens all over again)

Nothing, or nothing you can see..

Defragmentation is good
Just NEVER do it on a SSD

Also yes it makes loading faster

If you're seeing this I'm not here

Unless you're running Windows XP you don't need to defragment your disk.

Windows 7 and above automatically defrag the disk as necessary and there usually isn't any performance drop at all (Unless your HDD is failing). The frag % is harmless.
