Auslogics Disk Defrag is a simple disk defragmentation program. You can defragment multiple disks or select individual files or folders for defragmentation. Auslogics allows you to set the priority of the application and can tell your computer to shut itself down when the defragmentation process is complete—a handy feature when you want it to scan and defragment while you're sleeping but don't want to leave your computer idling all night. Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free and portable application.

30€ for a defragmenter is a litlle high, even if it's the better of its kind.

In the past I have used perfectdisk, was also very good.

The main problem with these tools (excluding the price) is all the bloat they install, like services, startup entries, internet connections....

 

Now I just use Auslogic disk Defrag, it's free and enough for my needs (as many these days my system disk is a SSD).

Yea, thats really true.,

But you can unchoose all in install.

Anyway here is a free vesion of O&O:

And the trial goes 30 days, much time for defrag system.

One time defrag hdds give a bit performance, then you can uninstall.

Its need much time/move big files, thats the system need another defrag.

 

Another smart, short and free app (not in list):

Not tested yet, but its from the same developers of CCleaner, so i thinkt its useful.

In my tests, Defraggler was a lot more slower than Auslogics disk-defrag.

 

O&O free is interesting, but when you compare the missing features vs pro version, Auslogics seems a better choice.

Using the trial can be good for a one time defrag, but the real advantage of its kind of defrag software is the scheduled/auto defrag to keep a low level of fragmentation .

I like Diskeeper too, it has a service that runs on background, and defrags the system automatically, very smart program wink.gif

By the way, check this article on ms support:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000 include a tool for disk defragmentation. The Windows Disk Defragmenter tool is a limited version of the Diskeeper program from Diskeeper Corporation. Disk Defragmenter does not include all the features available in the full version of Diskeeper.

Source: KB130539: Third-party disk defragmenter tools for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000

 

I never bothered too much with defragmentations. When I think that my PC is slowing down, I just restore my Acronis BackUp, and have the previous speed again.

Thanks for the article @MrNxDmX, it convinced me to try Diskeeper.

 

I do the same and once in awhile a fresh installment follow by a new ATI back up
