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.

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. :whistle:

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.

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

PerfectDisk Hands Down

the way a drive is suppose to look 24/7, I defrag my drives ever Morning at 1am and then have a daily back up to my server at 3 am.

no matter how hard you try windows SwapFile will alwazs leave some sort of fragment file behined unless u do a boot defrag on ever start up. As well as have the PageFile set with a min/max vaule at the same size.

Ever since 2010, I couldn't be bothered defragmenting my hard drive anymore, I'm not sure why. I guess it's back to the question, does it really make a big of a difference? Especially since we have more and more powerful processor + DDR3, etc

The thing I don't like about commercial defragmenters is that they aim for 100% performance. So they spend hours upon hours trying to keep your hard disk in perfect condition. Personally, I aim for maybe 90% performance. :p Auslogics does a quick defrag 6 days a week, and Win7 Defrag runs once a week. It never takes more than 10 minutes to defragment and my computer stays plenty fast.

Built in Windows automatic defragmentation tool. I haven't even thought about defragmenting my disks ever since I installed Vista a couple months after launch. It comes setup to automatically defragment your drives. Windows 7 shows that it is scheduled for 1:00 AM every Wednesday. I see no point of installing extra software and actually having to worry about it when the built in one does its just perfectly.

Well for paid defrag, so far, PD is the only one that does not delete my restore points, I have tried O&O 14, Diskeeper 2010.

For free defrag, Puran seems to delete my restore points too, Auslogic does a good job but lacks the boot time defrag. I've tried defraggler also but I found it made less impact on my laptop, the same goes with Iobit's Smart Defrag...

Diskeeper seems to be the one that made a noticeable impact on my system, in terms of speed and performance, but even in Volume Shadow Mode it deletes my restore points. I've even tried DK 2011 but still the problem persists for me.

In the end, I'm still in search for a good defrag software that could increase speed and performance the way DK does, without deleting my restore points. :blush:

    • Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
