So I was hoping we could have a thread that is slightly updated and maybe with a poll (Mods if you would)
So far here is what I have come across:
-O&O Defrag 8.6 (Latest)
-Diskeeper 2007
-Raxco PerfectDisk
-Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2 ( see this cdfreaks article: http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/Ashampoo-launches-high-speed-disk-defragmentation-tool.html )
-DiskTrix UltimateDefrag
-Windows Built-in defrag
Feel free to comment with you experiences/stories, but if you just want to vote please wait for the poll, I'd like to keep the thread relativly clean .
I thought of a way to test the efficiency of these programs, but I don't really have the time to do it. Basically, create a HD image of a fragmented drive and then run defrag software on it, then record time elapsed and drive before and after statistics. Then clone the fragmented image back to the drive and run the next defragging software. Finally, compare the results (% fragmented left, % free space, etc..) with the time it took to complete and we will have our winner
