Best Defragment prog?

Which is the best program to defragment?

I recently used smart defrag, but heard that other ones are better.

So which ones are the best for my system?

thanks

I like MyDefrag.

I use Defraggler.

I like Defraggler, they are all much of a muchness though IMO.

I have never really noticed much of a difference between them tbh. Lately I have been using Defraggler.

PerfectDisk 11 Pro. Nothing else comes close. Has a 60 day, no limit, free trial

Another vote for Defraggler.

Although, they all do a decent enough job. Some people prefer to use the Windows defragger due to it's simplicity.

I use auslogics defrag one, its free.

People still defrag?

Banzai_Joe · 27 May 2010 at 12:37

with mechanical drives, yes, why not?
Certainly wouldn't with a SSD though.

O&O. Been using it for years and nothing else comes close.

It aint free though.

slightly off topic - but Mancubus - Did you used to be called Doom years ago on ocuk? I remember a funny pic of someone called doom on rogues gallery in a room with cannabis posters dotted around

I'm geniunely curious, what exactly does O&O do differently to say Defraggler or the in-built Windows defrag that makes it so much better and worth paying for?

Or is it a placebo effect because you've paid for it?

Well for one it looks nicer

But really moving os files to the fastest part of the platter is all a good paid for defrager will do that the one built into windows won't. Well, that and on the fly defragging, with windows you set it to run on a schedule while something like diskeeper is installed then forgot about.

For the latter function you have to pay for, and it's horribly overpriced.

With Win7 I can't really see the point of purchasing an external defragging program.. Just let it do it's thang !

metalmackey · 27 May 2010 at 20:47

I use the windows built in one. With the speed of hard drives today I don't think a paid for one will be any better performance wise.

The Windows defragmenter is perfectly fine. But I use Defraggler because I like to see the progress.
