The regular hard drive defragmentation operation is a must to maintain a good level of performance on a Windows workstation. The system performs the way, with its default settings, automatic defrag once a week. This is the Disk Defragmenter utility (in Windows Vista and Windows 7) or service Optimize readers (for Windows 8) that does that.
Windows incorporating a dedicated tool for defragmenting disks, so why should we use another one? To do better, faster, and also to do more, such as selectively defragment files or selected files. Defragmentation software used to this, and other things.
This selection of five applications to defragment hard drives will allow you to give a boost to the PC become a bit lazy. You will find that the performance gain can be quite significant. Do not hesitate, test
Defraggler
Developed by Piriform – which also publishes the famous CCleaner and Recuva, and inventory software Speccy – Defraggler is a tool Free defrag very complete, with a French interface. The software can be used, as desired, in version “on site” (to install) or “take away” (without installation)
Side features the Defraggler offers overall defragmenting a disk (quick or full) and selective defragmenting files and folders. The options to set rules and exclusions for moving (or not) certain files (by size, by type, by name).
As a bonus, a planning module allows settings really sharp. You can request a fast disk defragmentation D fortnightly on Mondays and Thursdays at 17 hours 12. And only when the computer is idle for more than 7 minutes, but unless it runs on battery power and Word and Internet Explorer is launched. And if we stop defragmentation lasts more than 3 hours 21. Awesome!
Note that the software can also compact the free space on a disk. After a conventional defragmentation (quick or full), this operation is useful for improving write performance of new files (and minimize their potential fragmentation).
Auslogics Disk Defrag Free
As the name suggests, Free Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free defragmentation tool. This is a lighter version of Disk Defrag Pro software, the same publisher. Here, we do not have all the optimization algorithms and other bonuses (as an assistant) big brother, but the basic defragmentation variety is there.
Free Auslogics Disk Defrag can defragment entire disks or files in particular, on demand, or automatically at regular intervals. In options, we find some interesting settings to ignore the large fragments (including defragmentation is not necessarily useful to a performance point of view) and move system files to the beginning of the disk (where access is more fast).
Side interface is in English, the Advanced menu is nothing but a collection of three links to other software (without interest for defragmentation) . By installing the software you will certainly need to choose the Custom installation (Custom Install) to not install the same time BoostSpeed utility. Unless you are interested, of course.
Smart Defrag
Smart Defrag, his editor present as “the best defragmenter” has a unique interface in French A little confusing at first contact. After a few minutes of handling, however one understands how to control what you want to defragment and when, and also how with the different settings available.
Defragmentation automatic, manual, programmable, at startup (for files that can not be moved when Windows is running) per disc, folder or file, fast or slow, with or without optimization option: the choices are many <. / p>
Smart Defrag also proposes, before defragmentation, clean junk files (temporary, cache, etc.), with or without a secure erase. In short, it is complete.
During installation, be careful because Smart Defrag can offer unwanted additional software. It will manually disable the installation options of these parasitic elements clearly
O & amp;. O Defrag Professional Edition
O & amp; O Defrag Professional Edition, fanatics defragmentation who like to see everything, know everything and control everything will feast. We are dealing with an application that knows very well about it. O & amp; O Defrag Professional Edition not only offers a multitude of options and settings, but also very detailed information on the disks and their contents, to cluster near
The software interface is in English, very clear and rich in graphics, reports and historical data of all kinds. We feel that we have at hand a powerful tool, maybe elsewhere too if it is just trying to defragment without asking any question.
This is a sharp specialist paid software, which costs about 50 euros for 3 computers, or about 30 euros for a single PC. The program to be downloaded is a 30 day trial version, which is worth seeing if only to discover that all that can be done with a (good) defragmentation tool.
WinContig
In general, defragmenting software oriented “disk” and offer selective defragmentation of files and folders option. With WinContig is the opposite. This software is primarily used to defragment specific files and folders, although it can of course operate on entire disc (just select the root of the drive).
WinContig provides two defragmentation strategies (Quick and Full), and exclusion filters, error checking option and a disc cleaning option (which can be enabled or not).
The interface, in French, is simple and clear. Little more practical: it is not necessary to install the software, it runs directly. Free for personal or professional use, it is a less sophisticated tool than its competitors (especially O & amp; O Defrag Professional Edition). But effective
