Ah the world of computers. If you know the world of computers you will of heard the term defragmenting. Defragmenting is basically the process of putting all the files on your hard drive into one neat pile. Windows tends to like to thrash it all over the place for “time saving” purposes.
NOTE: Mac users and Linux users (Ubuntu etc) do not apply. The filesystem(s) associated with your OS either automatically corrects this problem or stops it from happing in the first place.
So then the question is, which defragmenter should I pick?
The main stream ones are;
- Diskeeper
- Defraggler
- Auslogics Disk Defrag
- Perfect Disk
- JK defrag
- O&O defrag
I know there are a thousand others, but for this article I am only going to pick the ones that I hear of the most.
Which one do I prefer? Defraggler. Why?

Well its free, its easy to use, and its simple.
I have tried Perfect Disk and Diskeeper along with Auslogics disk defrag…but you either pay an arm and a leg for them or I just personally don’t like em.
Defraggler allows you to schedule a defrag, shutdown after defrag, quick or full defrag, book defrag, so its got all the bases covered. It does it all.
You can download defraggler here; its free

I’ve never tried any 3rd party defragmenter. I use Windows Disk Defragmenter instead and it has been doing a great job so far.

It’s ok but slow. Defraggler is great when you need to Defrag the page file and other system files or don’t have enough time to fully Defrag the drive.
I see… ok i think i should check it out then

I find that windows built in defraggers works just fine. it can shut down, you can schedule. etc etc just like all the other ones.. essentially they’re all doing the same thing.
No system file defrag though.
