Which Defrag tool?

[ICEx21]

Hey all,

As the title says can anyone suggest a good defragging tool?
I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 if that makes any kind of difference.

Thanks in advance

I used to use Diskeeper when I was on XP but since I installed Win 7 I've always found that the one that comes with it works just fine.

Cant say ive ever defraged in years just let windows do it automatically when idle.

Win7 looks after de-fragging automatically. Don't worry about it.

Let Windows do it. Check the schedule is set then never worry about it ever again.

As above, let W7 handle it.

But defraggler is the best one in my experience!

perfect disk or O+O

unless u want to let windows do a bog standard defrag which many people are happy with

***. Portable too.

I use PerfectDisk 11 it's quick, easy to use and has loads of features, that's if you want to pay for it, personally it's great, but i'm sure people will hate me for using it.

Defraggler is great (and free) but since moving to Win7 I just let windows look after that for me

Win 7 - no need for defrag too, just use the built in one. Anything else is just pointless fluff.

We need a defrag sticky thread, this question is asked twice per week.

Windows 7 looks after itself whilst idle, minimal need to defrag.

 

[Raumarik]

Agree, along with these other weekly questions

Win 7:

Which AV - MSE
Which defrag - build in Win 7 defrag
Can I disable swap file - why would you want to?
32 bit or 64 bit? - doh!
Is it better than XP - yes
Vista or Win 7 - Win 7 if you have the cash.
Will X program work with Win 7 - more than likely

Defraggler, although I really can't say that defragmenting has ever seemed important or of benefit to me

Given the resources of even an average PC these days, a perfectly defragged HDD is a tiny, tiny optimization. There is also zero benefit to a defrag once there are no fragments below a certain size. Stuff like defraggler that tracks down and joins up every last bit is just wasting time, and wearing out your HDD faster for zero gain.

Paying for a defrag program is just utterly stupid.
