Looking for best defrag program

[Guest anthony]

Is there a consensus out there about the best defrag program for XP?

Diskeeper or Perfect Disk, or are the differences negligible? Is there

another contender I should consider?

Auslogics is the fastest but Iobit Smart Defrag

http://www.iobit.com/iobitsmartdefrag.html?Str=download & JK Defrag

http://www.majorgeeks.com/JkDefrag_GUI_d5620.html are the most efficient for

removing the blank space in between with their optimizing feature.

Smart Defrag can be scheduled to run at certain times or when idle & it claims to be

able to move the most used files to the front of the drive.

 

I like Auslogics for a quick defrag-especially when I'm running it on a machine that

the owner has never defragged before.

Re: Looking for best defrag program

 

Two other noteworthy contenders are Auslogics and JkDefrag, both are free.

Auslogics is faster, has an easy to use and read interface and log, but

has no optimize feature;(you have to buy to get it). Also, you cannot

set-up a scheduled task,(not until the next version anyway).

JkDefrag is slower, also easy to use, plus it optimizes. Log is not as

good, but you can set-up a scheduled task to run.

Overall, between the two, my choice was JkDefag. It seems to do a better

job.

But, the choice is yours, their are lots of defrag programs out there.

Check-out the defrag comparison wars on Google.

You should consider using Microsoft programs---they are error free and thus

eliminates the habit of cluttering up your system with unneeded programs.

Ahhh. The things you learn if only you take the time to read. Now I know

that Microsoft programs are error free. That sure takes a load off of my

mind. But if it is true, as I've been told, that MS's defrag is a

recycled/rehashed version of the old Norton defrag does that mean that

_all_ old Norton programs are error free too? It gets so confusing sometimes...

Stop and think. The defrag that comes with XP has been well tested. It's

problem, if any, is only from other trash users install on their systems.

You must then ask yourself why install other trash/programs not needed and

clutter up your system?

I.E. Use common sense. If you don't care, just install anything with the

name Norton.

But they are often marginal on their features and ability. Most third

party defrag tools use the Windows function, but they provide better

control.

Better control? In what way?
