    I haven't found any need to use anything other than the Windows defragmenter.

    Windows 7 even runs defragmenter on a weekly schedule — automatically.

    In fact, some of these add-ons I've played with over the years have done more harm than good.

      AusLogics Disk Defrag and SmartDefrag both perform deep optimisation and defragmentation and are way faster than Windows defragment software. You can also schedule both of them to run automatically. I'd recommend either of them. And Windows defragmenter just runs willy nilly taking up CPU time. I'd rather schedule it at a specific time when I won't be using my computer, so it can defrag and shutdown.

      They're both freeware. Try them out and see if you notice any difference.

      And you can check how AusLogics varies from the default defragger here: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag (Scroll down to around the half-way point of the page, you'll see a table)

        good answer. i was going to write something simliar, but coudlnt be bothered.

        also with auslogics it has the option to use an alogirthm of degrag'ing to move system files to the fastest part of your hard drive i.e. the most outside of the platter/disk.

        Auslogics is great. No idea how it compares to O & O

  • robxxx on 02/01/2010 - 17:57

    looks interesting, does anyone have any experience with this?

    does anyone know the download file size?

    • robxxx on 02/01/2010 - 22:37

      So i decided to give it a try. it's currently downloading now and i will report back once it's installed and run a defrag cycle.

      • YesPleaseThankYou on 02/01/2010 - 22:42

        And how are you going to decide that it has done its job properly?

        Are you going to run some performance monitoring to test file speed access before and after?

        In my honest opinion, when it comes to operating system stuff: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

        • scupper on 03/01/2010 - 01:07

          This guy did some tests and O&O (older version) is one of the better ones.

          http://donnedwards.openaccess.co.za/2007/06/great-defrag-sho…

          Also, as mentioned in the Windows 7 blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/01/25/disk-defragmenta…), there is a point of diminishing returns where the effort of moving files has no discernible benefit e.g. there is no point in combining file fragments of 64Mbs or greater.

          The better defraggers also have an algorithm that consolidates free space, which in theory, minimises subsequent fragmentation.

          • YesPleaseThankYou on 03/01/2010 - 01:35

            @scupper: From the link http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/01/25/disk-defragmenta… you provided:

            • Defragmentation in Windows 7 is more comprehensive
            • Best practices for using defragmentation in Windows 7 are simple – you do not need to do anything!

            Just as I suspected.

            Installing software on your machine to defragment will introduce a new variable (something to go wrong) for little, if any, benefit.

            • scupper on 03/01/2010 - 01:48

              @YesPleaseThankYou: I recommended O&O for Win XP users in another comment here, I can't say how much better 3rd party defraggers are against the Win7 one so I'm sticking with the built-in one.

              Edit: Of course, Microsoft itself will say that their own defragger is very good. And so will the 3rd party defraggers say that their defragger is better than the built-in one.

              Anyway, O&O v10 is not Win7 compatible.

  • bbear on 02/01/2010 - 18:10

    According to the O&O website, their latest software is version 12. Is this one of those gimmicks that suck people into upgrading the software afterwards?

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 02/01/2010 - 18:28

      What's that saying? "Nothing in this world is free."

    • No on 02/01/2010 - 18:54

      Sorry I mean't to post this. The software itself doesnt seem to nag but no doubt at some point down the track an email will be sent offering a upgrade to version 12. To be honest Im not sure if you will be missing out on too many features, theres only so many things a defrag program can do and after 10 versions you would think upgrades would mostly be asthetic's and minor features.

      To not waste anyones time if you try and put in the version 10 licensing info they send you into version 12 it doesnt work. :)

      If you're still on Win XP, I recommend this over the built-in XP defragmenter.

    • jackofspade on 03/01/2010 - 19:09

      LOL…I've just receive an email asking me to upgrade to version 12.

      • YesPleaseThankYou on 03/01/2010 - 19:19

        Good luck with future spam to that account :)

  • Broden on 02/01/2010 - 18:57

    The software sounds pretty useless..

  • roberta on 02/01/2010 - 19:41

    O&O Defrag 10 Professional Edition is Superb.
    I actually prefer it to the newer versions….

  • ReqMan on 02/01/2010 - 19:56

    I use O&O Defrag 10 and its great

  • TripleM on 02/01/2010 - 20:26

    The download area for Ver 10 is not obvious - found it at :-

  • bohn on 02/01/2010 - 21:37

    O&O does a much better job than Win7 standard defrag.

  • jong on 02/01/2010 - 23:02

    I used to use this 7 or 8 years ago. From memory it was better than the built-in defragger - it was faster, and required less free space to start.

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 02/01/2010 - 23:25

      What tests did you do that convinced you it was better?

      • jong on 03/01/2010 - 18:36

        I ran the built-in one, noted how long it said it would take, ran O&O and timed it, and then ran the built-in one to check that O&O had done what it said it would (it had). Three guesses how I did the "less free space" test.

        Note that I didn't run it on the boot drive, just a separate volume I used as a fileshare full of game patches on a machine I used to LAN party with.

        • YesPleaseThankYou on 03/01/2010 - 19:18

          I have no idea what you're trying to say, but good luck with your new product.

  • POWERevolution on 02/01/2010 - 23:11

    Or Defraggler always free http://www.piriform.com/defraggler

  • slowmo on 02/01/2010 - 23:36

    +1 to defraggler.
    a decent commercial defrag tool needs to be able to handle MFT fragmentations. would this OO do it?

  • Mikinoz on 03/01/2010 - 09:36

    free software that alters my disks, how many times do i need to the learn the lesson :) pass but thanks

  • daydream on 03/01/2010 - 19:15

    Thanks to MS Windows design team I end up reinstalling my operating systems every six months. At least the benefit is that you get a clean systems and don't have to defragment for a possible tiny speed increase.

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 03/01/2010 - 20:39

      Windows bashing aside…

      Installing this will achieve:

      • "possible tiny speed increase"
      • Email reminders to upgrade
      • Possible other email "offers"
      • Additional software on the PC which may be an additional point of failure.

      Conclusion:

      • Don't install
