So, the best solution is an automatic background defragmenter i.e one that can continuously put down fragmentation as it rises, unlike a manual/ scheduled defragmenter that leaves the field open to fragmentation in between runs. The manual/scheduled defragmenters also tend to be resource hogs and you cannot use the PC when they are running, while good auto defraggers have I/O sensing and utilize only idle resources. The latest auto defraggers can also defragment with less than 5% free space, so really, there is no reason anymore to waste time on manual/scheduled defraggers. ;) Fragmentation is a continuously occuring phenomenon, and if allowed to build up unchecked, it can degrade performance.

I did a test defrag recently on my internal 250Gb D: Drive - Defraggler reported my drive as defragmented in 20 minutes, pretty impressive even though it still showed a large amount of nasty red squares. I then used Vistas built in defrag program on the same drive and that continued for over one and a half hours! So my question is, if Defraggler did such an excellent and rapid job, what was windows defrag doing for all that time? Is Vista slower but far more thourough, is Defraggler actually doing what it's reporting?

They are well respected by the software community for providing free quality apps, and I don't think they would turn to paid software and tarnish that reputation. I have noticed that they do bundle things like the Yahoo! toolbar with their programs though, so they probably make money off of that. jacques wrote:

I came across it when I had to download a fresh copy of CCleaner. Since then Defraggling is the way to do! I have another laptop which is my work machine - read as pretty straight forward installs with non-OS software - :roll: - and I have all my fav bits sitting/tethered off of a WD Passport 140gb. When I cam e across this post on my RSS feed, I decided to install it as you suggested on my Passport. However, I installed it directly on my Passport 'Portable Apps' folder and it works like magic!! Now, if you'll excuse me I got me some Defraggling to take care of on this 'straight-laced' machine! :D :D :D :D
