Make sure you get one that is compatible with VSS if you use System Restore.
I think the windows one is the best, but the only other one I have tried is Diskeeper | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built (GeneO industries)/Model 3 OS Windows 7 64 bit SP1 CPU i5 2500k @ 4.5 GHz, 1.264V 124 GFlop (IBT with AVX) Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB (4GBx4) 1600MHz G.skill Ripjaws X 8-8-8-24 Graphics Card MSI GTX 660 Ti PE/OC, 2GB 7160 MHz DDR5 clock, 1228 Mhz Core Sound Card Onboard Realtek HD Monitor(s) Displays NEC Spectraview 2490WUXi-SV Screen Resolution 1920 x 1200 Keyboard HP Wireless Mouse HP wireless PSU Seasonic X-850 (2012 KM3 model) Case Fractal Design "Define R3" Cooling CM TPC 812 push/pull, 3 120mm, 2 TY-140 case fans Hard Drives Samsung 128GB 840 Pro SSD (System), Crucial 128GB M4 SSD, 2x WD Caviar 1TB Black internal (data), 1x WD Blue 6Gb/s 1TB Internal, 1x 2TB eSata WD20EARS Green, 2x 500GB Seagate external USB, 1x 350GB exte Internet Speed 27.8 Mb/s down, 5.6 Mb/s up Other Info USB 3.0 x4 , SATA III x4, eSATA x3, SATA II x4, USB 2.0 x8. 2 Samsung DVD R/W drives.

Hi cheewongken, I am not a computer guru by any means. I have always used the defragmenter that came with Windows until recently. I tried defraggler and it was ok. I then tried the Auslogics disk defrag and to me, it made my laptop run smoother and quicker. I don't have any timers to prove any kind of speed increase, I'm just going by the feel of my machine. I am not a TV watcher, so my spare time is spent on my computers, and I tend to notice any kind of changes to my machines. At this point, I believe you are using the best free one on the market. Have a great day !!! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiration N 5010 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit CPU i5 M460 @2.53GHz Memory 6.00 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 Hard Drives Toshiba 5400 RPM, 640GB Internet Speed 11.5m dl, 1m ul |

I have used Vopt for 10+ years, It is not free but you can try it for a short time without being crippled.
vopt.com is their web site and they have versions for most any windows version.
goldenbow software is the author and they do a good job.
I don't have any financial interest, just like their software,

Hi cheewongken...
For the "Free" defragger's I have tried and tested Defraggler, Auslogic Disk Defragger, and Smart Defrag (Just to name a few). The best, IMHO, is the free "Smart Defrag" form Iobit. I have used it on my WinXP, WinVista, and Windows 7 PC's and Laptop's...works good. Disk Defrag - Smart Defrag

I prefer to use the built in defrag in Windows 7. For previous versions, I use/recommend Auslogics Disk Defrag. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba P775-S7100 OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit CPU Intel Core i5-2450M @2.5 GHz Memory 6 GB DDR3 1333MHz Graphics Card Intel HD 3000 Monitor(s) Displays Built-in 17.3" LED; 22" Insignia NS-L22Q-10A Screen Resolution 1600x900; 1360x768 Hard Drives 750 GB Hitachi
