Spec me a disk defragger.

i tried defraggler it was ok but auslogic one is far better,

if you open it up on select ur os drive

go to propeties pick "put system files at begining of disk" it shaved 20 seconds of my bootup time. :)

How forgetful of you :p

I always use Defraggler, I feel it does a decent job. I'm running it on a netbook as of right now actually, I don't think it's ever been done, 37% fragmentation :p
 
If you aren't defragging the boot drive are defraggers much of a muchness or do some still do a better job? I'm a Defraggler user myself but I'll switch if another does a better/quicker job on data drives.

If it's games or programs, there might be some boost from a decent defragger. If it's video or music, then TBH there's probably not much point defragging at all.
 
In terms of Defraggers, the actual defragging routines are all the same thing. The programs themselves dont actualy do any defragging as such, they do however provide different GUI's.

I was told recently about SMART DEFRAG... Its a free one and I had a quick look when my mate told me about it, but I myself use O&O and I never thought of using any other since I found O&O many moons ago.

I think that v8.6 was their best version and the newer ones are awful. I am not buying it again unless they go back to the v8.x interface or even better before that when it also defragged folders properly.

They decide how to move and locate the files using the Windows defrag API to achieve this so they aren't all equal.

Ok, I know that, but I meant more of ... As far as the end user is concerned, or as far as reliability goes, they are the same.

I was more thinking what billysielu said about it wrecking his system... While this is very unlikely, its not impossible.
