Hey guys, I'm in a spot of confusion.

I was using Defraggler as my defragmenting program for a while, but would like to try some of the other contenders.

So what Defrag program do you use? and why?

Thanks :P

Another vote for PD here, I was so impressed with its ability to actually defrag that I bought it.

i use the free jk defrag [aka mydefrag] it is very good at optimizing the drive compared to many others.

not all defrag programs optimise the hard drive, they defrag only.

Using MyDefrag on my windows 7 64bit install, its fast but the graphic interface is horrible and there is no scheduler, has to be done manually.

All Defraggers Are Not Equal

PerfectDisk has the ability to do a boot time defrag of locked system files which most of the free defrag programs don't offer.

If you really want to completely defrag your drive the boot time defrag is the best way to do it.

I'm fairly sure you can script a schedule or create a basic task if MyDefrag has command line options.

Auslogics Disk and Registry are the state of the art.

When a system file gets in the way of shrinking volume, pros turn to Auslogics to see a map of exactly what's in the way.

Those who have always used it see that map everytime we defrag, even in the background.
 
o&o for me works so good and so efficiently, I honestly forgot I had it installed and running. I used to use Diskeeper but was unhappy with the results. Does not compare to how good o&o runs.
