Defrag recommendation

[cash_site]

I tried it on my crappy work computer using Windows 2000. Seems to be better than the built in one.

Lol, seems to be? or Definitely is? As V said, I hope it performs a lot better... although the feature to be selective of the defrag points sounds good.

I also tried the Smart Defrag, almost identical results with the Defraggler.

How can you tell how well a defragger defrags?

I used the vista defrager. It took all day. It never finished. It slowed down my PC a little, I think. I now use Auslogics defragger. It finishes in less than 2 minutes.

When I used XP's defragger, it took 2.5 hours. I used diskeeper and it defragged in about 2 minutes. It acted like it moved every file. It found fragmentation that XP's missed.

The XP defrager is Diskeeper (modified Lite version ?)

That is what I read, but there is some component missing because I used Diskeeper lite [free version] and it defraged in less than 2 minutes. There was a big difference.

I am all for everyone finding the best software. It seams that people have been recommending their favorite defrag software here. I have a question. Did anyone try Smart Defrag which was the subject of this thread. If so, what were your impressions.

At this point, I don't think we have provided any service to our visitors. So let me ask one of our senior members to download and test Smart Defrag. If it doesn't live up to my hype, we can do the same for other software mentioned above. Then we can have some consensus in a recommendation.

I guess you didn't see that I tried Smart Defrag too? Similar results with Defraggler but both of these products do not seem to have options for a system or boot defrag? For my home computer I'm sticking with Perfect Disk.

Can't speak on Defragger, but Smart Defrag has a couple ways to set it up. One is to start at boot for continuous defragmentation. Another is by schedule. In both cases you can choose which drives to process. I was surprised to see that it not only found all drives on my computer, it also found my network drives.
