Title: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Rishathra on May 03, 2008, 12:56:55 PM I can't stand the Windows version. Can anyone recommend a better one?

http://www.raxco.com/ (http://www.raxco.com/) They have a full functioning demo. Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Sairon on May 03, 2008, 01:51:27 PM I think the best software I've tried in this department is O&O Defrag. Slick interface, kick ass performance and kick ass features. It has a mode where it will kick in automatically if it the system is on low load, and it seems pretty intelligent about it.
Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Krakrok on May 03, 2008, 02:44:12 PM JkDefrag. Free. Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Fabricated on May 03, 2008, 04:12:11 PM I liked O&O but it costs money.
http://www.defraggler.com/ It's still beta but it works pretty well IMO. Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Rishathra on May 04, 2008, 06:54:07 AM Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Maybe give the registry a good cleaning to help start-up lag or something?

I've been using this last six months, the latest version of this is awesome and best part it costs nothing. Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Yegolev on November 20, 2009, 10:59:28 AM I will have to try it since MyDefrag (http://www.mydefrag.com/) has gotten all DIY. Seems to work fine but I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman AIX specialist, all of your files needing to be contiguous frightens and confuses me.
Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: BitWarrior on November 20, 2009, 11:05:58 AM JkDefrag. Free. Another vote for this. Install it, and set your screensaver to JKDefrag - it actually works (unlike so many other automated defragger's I've tried). Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: schild on November 20, 2009, 11:06:42 AM Windows 7 Defrag is fantastic if you leave your computer on 24/7/365 like I do.
Title: Re: Looking for a decent defragger Post by: Yegolev on November 20, 2009, 11:25:46 AM JkDefrag is now MyDefrag.
I'll check on the Win7 defragger. After years of looking elsewhere for working apps, it's hard to remember that I can probably go back to the MS tools. Win7 retail is even better than the RC. I think it is sad that this surprises me and must be said, but here we are. EDIT: For example, AVG 9 lost its damn mind. I was not able to terminate the service or otherwise halt the apparently-full-system scan which I had specifically told it to DO LATER, so I uninstalled that shit and installed MS Security Essentials. |
