The World's fastest Defrag Prog

The World's fastest Defrag Prog

I Want It ... now !

Ok, so I defragged my pc using Iobit recently .. which led me to wonder something ...

The PC which I use the most has only 1 CPU - athlon 3200 - and I HD 120 gig - no games , and mainly Object Desktop installed ... 

~ Yet it still took almost 4 hours to defrag and optimise ... this leads me to my question ..

 ~   What is the QUICKEST defrag program that I can download and use ... as Iobit takes such a long time .. an Hour and half is quite acceptable .. or less would be brilliant ....

WebGiz is the Wiz my friend. I've been using Auslogic for quite some time now and for free it can't be beat. Why fix it if it ain't broke? Does the job in just under 30 min.

And really....if it does take a bit longer...start it just before you go to bed or something and let it do its thing. Unless of course you like watching the little blocks moving around. :LOL:

Honestly.. its pretty much impossible to compare.. it completely depends on how fragmented your drive is to begin with.

Each defragger has it's own algorithm for defragging and optimization, so defrag times may vary greatly. I personally prefer the newest fully automatic defragmenters that defrag in real-time unlike older manual defraggers that need to be scheduled for late nights. Since the auto defraggers run using only idle resources, I can use the PC as usual even when multiple drives are being defragged. :) Very efficient and convenient- i never have to worry about when defrags begin or end, or spend any time defragging. ;)

Diskeeper Pro Premier 2008 here and I never have to defrag manually at all. It runs in the background while I'm not using the computer automatically

Well, i get the 2007 version and it defrag as well in background.
But i'm not really sure it does it correctly ...
Just one example: i use PageDefrag from SysInternals for system files defragmentation that Windows can't do ...
I just saw that Diskeeper, with the automatic background mode, is fragmenting back all those system files  :SURPRISED: 

I think i'll have a try with Auslogics Disk Defrag and for those interested in i found Auslogics Disk Defrag version 1.4.15.306 avaible in english, german & french

without exception, & I have pretty much tried every app to totally defrag + compact my drives, the O&O Defrag from Berlin, Germany has my endorsement as an incredibly powerful, efficient, user friendly + intuitive defragger loaded with options with a very clean + professional interface a la Office 2007 ;mind you it lays the foundation + is my default defragger & in tandem with occcassional manual sessions of DiskeeperLite + IObit Smart Defrag to enable total compaction, I enjoy O% ! frag ;bonus points the O&O works automatically in the background selecting the most appropriate actions to keep my drives frag free - it is high end but hey, one gets what one pays for ! . .. the Germans do it once again in setting the standard in tech excellence; hello Nero + DivX . . .

Diskeeper has worked the best for me so far. Even the background defrag feature works without any issues. And yes i think its very fast.

I just throwed away Diskeeper (2007) to the bin  :LOL: 
OK it runs in background without trouble BUT, i just found it split up the System Windows files (specially hiberfil.sys & pagefile.sys + some others) which i defragment with Sysinternals PageDefrag on boot WWW Link, and above all, i also founded that even running in background 24/24 i got a statistic off "average fragments number per file = 1,02" (which is a lottttttttttttt)
Note: a manual defrag on same disk (which is a very new one) which is about 40 Go used on a 150 Go partition, takes nearlly 24 h  :SURPRISED:

Though i just installed Auslogics Disk Defrag version 1.4.15.306, and it defraged 100 % of files in about 30 mn ...  :LOL: it's freeware, and brings me back 6% of free RAM  :D
