Editor's review of Auslogics Disk Defrag

Join your hard drive fragments together into a tight bunch with this freeware. Auslogics Disk Defrag's interface couldn't be any cleaner or easier to use.

Choose a hard drive from an easy-to-read pull-down menu, and Disk Defrag instantly displays the drive's size, and used and free space. The program even displays a pie graph for visual learners. One click starts the defragmentation process. The program's defrag process screen displays another handy visual. A sector map makes it easy to see how much of the drive is fragmented, allocated, or free. As the program churns away, the defragged sectors are displayed in blue.

We found the program fast, even on older XP systems. A handy HTML report is prepared after each defrag session. A summary displays the total files and folders defragged, while the detail section lists the defrag outcome for each file. We only wish a final sector map was included in the report. Novices to system administrators will love this easy-to-use hard drive defrag program.

  Better. Faster.

  by: megabob6666 on 01-Jul-2008 11:37:11 AM

  Pros: I never really saw the benefit of downloading a defragmenter since Windows already comes with one, and I didn't see how such a simple application could be significantly improved upon. After deciding to give it a try since I use other Auslogics programs, I was surprised to find that this application does a much better job than the Windows defragmenter and does it more quickly.

  Cons: nothing

  GOOOD BUT........

  by: mark bevan on 16-Jul-2008 09:14:18 PM

  Pros: This is a very fast disk defragmenter and of course it's much faster than the built in windows version. Also i do like the easy to use setup and i love the colours whilst it's under way ( that's a nice touch too) And of course we ALL love free software he he! And you get Bi monthly updates which can't be a bad thing.

  Cons: But it just doesn't do a complete job of defragmentation. I mentioned the same thing last year and a few other people made the same comment too. Recently my computer seemed to be getting slower. Firstly i thought it was some nasties on my computer, but checked out ok. I am running anti spyware, anti virus, cleaning my hard drive etc and defragging using Auslogics. So i went to the windows Disk defagmenter and the files were spread out all over the place! I then compacted the files further using windows and my computer is running much faster now!

  Yes Auslogics is very fast but it's just not efficient enough for me, sorry. So I am now trying out the latest version of IOBIT Disk Defrag and i will let you know how it goes.

  Excellent disk defragmenter

  by: Jesant13 on 07-Jul-2008 05:20:50 AM

  Pros: Auslogics Disk Defrag is the best freeware disk defragmentation software in my opinion. It is very easy to use and defragments your hard drive much faster than the defragmentation program included with Windows. It also allows you to defragment external drives such as USB "thumb" drives and MP3 players, such as the iPod Nano. I highly recommend the usage of this product to anyone who doesn't want to pay for programs such as Diskeeper.

  Excellant program - fast, efficient, intuitive & FREE

  by: chamarith on 15-Jul-2008 12:19:13 PM

  Pros: If you tired of using the Windows Defragmenter that seems to take forever, try this. You will not be disappointed.

  Cons: After defragmentation is complete you will notice on the right side of the window that the program informs you that an incredible amount of junk folders had been found. My computer knowledge is advanced, and my machine is very clean. I have several programs to protect my investment. This program claimed to have found 396 junk folders. This is a marketing scheme to get you to buy their premium software for $30. To test it, I downloaded the other program and ran the junk folder finder. It found 6, not 396. Dishonesty and deception are two things that I will not tolerate.
