HD Defraggers

I started a thread some time ago about defrag programs and defragging in general (here). My last post in that thread ended with me using and recommending Puran Free Defrag. While I still recommend it, it seems to be a good defragger and has some good configuration options, I no longer use it. A friend told me about DiskTrix Ultimate Defrag, and after using the trial version for 30 days, I decided to switch my my defrag app to DiskTrix. It is paid-ware, but the trial is fully functional for 30 days, and with the release of Ultimate Defrag 3, the fine folks over at DiskTrix have made Ultimate Defrag version 1 completely and totally free! (more info and download here; scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill out the request form; no worries, I did it when downloading the trial for v3 and they did not flood my email with garbage, just one email with the download link). The point of all this? I never thought I would pay for a defrag program, ever, especially with so many excellent, high quality free defraggers available, but IMO the DiskTrix Ultimate Defrag 3 is by far the best defragger/optimizer app I have used. Period.

(I have not used the free v1 defrag program so I can't comment; and I must say that I was a bit surprised to discover that this program -both paid and free versions- were not hosted here at Major Geeks :confused )

 

Well now that you've notified them dlb, maybe they'll have a look and consider it, or maybe just maybe, they've already considered it !

 

I use the Auslogics Free Disk Defrag.

Another vote for Auslogics Disk Defrag. :clap


Another favorite, MyDefrag

 

I have been telling people about this defragger for some time.
Free version, not trial, is here.

And I do use and recommend the v.1.72.

 

Yeah, I posted a link to the free DiskTrix defrag in my 1st post.... I switched from Auslogics (which is still great) and then from Puran (again, great) to the paid version of DiskTrix Ultimate defrag.... it freekin ROCKS!

 

I personally like how you can alter the color scheme to your liking.
Get creative as all ****.

 

I'm happy with Puran too, it just works. It really impressed me when it ran chkdsk after W7 failed to do so several times. The shutdown, defrag, restart option is now a no-brainer part of my regular PC housekeeping routine - no colour schemes needed, I just turn off my monitor and get some sleep .
