Recommended Defrag program

[promazda]

Any one know of a program that will actually defrag my hdd better than the one in windows?

MyDefrag v4.3.1

CCleaner and Defraggler from Piriform

AusLogics. Has a thorough option that can also turn off the machine when complete. Not sure if the others have it, but it is really handy.

Definitely clean system before defragging for best results

I used to use o&o when I ran XP. Now I just let windows handle it.

Here's an article from a couple years ago comparing 3rd party defrag programs and WinXP's defrag.

Would be interesting to test with the current versions of the 3rd party defrags and Win7 defrag.

UltraDefrag

There's also wincontig but ultra works fine for me

I have been using PerfectDisk for years with good results...no complaints here.

windows in built... even then, i havnt defraged for a good year + (turned auto defrag off) as the move to solid stated rendered degfragging useless.

Wow. Dug up an article of mine that is semi-relavent to the conversation? I'm a celebrity!!!!!

But seriously though, to the OP:

I personally use MyDefrag (formerly JkDefrag) because of the various scripts.

Windows 7 defrag built in works as good as any. I believe Diskeeper made it for Microsoft.

works good, but you can't do thing with it like rearrange boot files to a faster part of the disk, etc.

good for general upkeep. not so good for a good defragging for speed.
