An updated "Best Defragmenter" poll for 2011. Please use this as a reference when researching Defrag utilities. As time goes on, the poll can be updated to add further options.

Happy Voting!

I voted for O&O. Auslogics comes in second for a free choice.

Auslogic for a quick easy solution.

If you want a more thorough defragger then it has to be JKDefrag's successor, MyDefrag, but the supplied scripts may not be the best - look at the MyDefrag forums for better user scripts - I'm using one called 'System Disk Robust' that seems to keep my system disk fast but it will take ages on its first ever run as there's a lot of reorganising to do. The Windows7 tool is better than some but it's always slow doing the job.

Auslogics gets my vote!

[Zmijutin]

Can we discuss about them here? ... Can you really see the difference when using some other defrag. software? I'm using Windows default...

[kiddingguy]

I use Diskeeper 2010.
The 2011 edition should be even better... (though I know it's Diskeeper's own blogpost).

The "Windows Defrag" is the default defrag Windows's program, or some other application with such a weird name?

I use Auslogics for daily quick defrags (fragments smaller than 10mb, usually takes less than a minute). Then I leave Windows 7 Defrag on its default schedule to run once a week.

Perfect disk does the job flawlessly

[Mr Spoon]

I haven't defragmented for years now.
I guess I should give it a go.

Nothing wrong with Windows 7 built in one, does the job fine for me.

The problem with it is, it doesn't show you much, people like to see that something was done.
Just doing it and saying it's finished doesn't please alot of people.

You mean people just like the blinking lights that show the files moving once you start the defrag. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

Auslogics is the best I have used. Very light weight, minimalistic, and super fast.

I have been using the default since my last installation and I am happy to report it does the job. No need for third-party utilities anymore!
