Auslogic’s Disk Defrag 3.4.0.0 Free, and Iobit’s SmartDefrag 2.3 Free Updated

Published on March 20, 2012 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Really fast and thorough defragging can speed up your HDD. Both Iobit’s SmartDefrag2 (with skinnable – its own skins) and Auslogic’s Disk Defrag have both been updated.

I have no preference… both look ok, although SmartDefrag2 might have the edge there as it has a dark (charcoal gray) and light interface.

Auslogic’s Disk Defrag:

Features:

Defrag and optimize
Free space consolidation
System files smart placement
Keeping the MFT reserved zone clear
Single file or folder defragmentation
List of fragmented files
Auto-defrag mode
Scheduled defragmentation
Customizing disk defrag
Multiple languages

What's new in version 3.4.0.0:

improved stability
improved defragmentation speed
fixed all known bugs

Iobit’s SmartDefrag 2.3.0.1126:

Features (per Iobit):

Extremely easy to use
Exceptionally Efficient Defragmentation
Optimizes Disk Performance
Always-on to Work Automatically
Data Safe and Reliability Guaranteed
Besides, unlike other "Automated" Defragmenters, Smart Defrag does NOT constantly perform analysis and defrag, which does damage your hard drive and shorten its life. Smart Defrag has a "Safe Intelligence" technology that can assure the health of your disk by deciding When and How to execute defragmentation.

How does it compare to other software like Defraggler?

Take a look here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_defragmentation_software

Usually I don't use Wikipedia as a reference, but this one looks fair.

In truth, ask 10 people and you'll get 7-8 different preferences... all personal.

I have been using Auslogics Defrag for quite awhile...I love it! Runs fast, doesn't hog systems resources.

I use Auslogics Disk Defrag and wouldn't want to switch to any other. It is faster than anything I've tried before, and I like my defrags to be fast. But it is also thorough and does a good job optimizing the drives/defragging free space. I like the progress graphics, the reports, the fact that you can just defrag one folder or file if you need to. And it also checks the drive for errors and repairs them (I like to run the error check occasionally just to make sure I don't have any errors). It's definitely more fun to use than Windows Defrag.
