![]() ![]() I tested Smart Defrag v2.0.1 on Windows 7. For scripting guys, however, MyDefrag is the best choice if you often have to defragment specific files, Auslogics Disk Defrag is your best bet. It has the nicest user interface, and the background defragmentation convinced me. I guess, this feature only works for system files.Īll in all, Smart Defrag is my favorite defragmentation tool from the three tools I have tested. Unfortunately, it is unclear how the tool determines what files are frequently used. Smart Defrag can also move frequently used files and directories into the fastest area of the disk. This can be useful if you don't want the tool to mess with an important database file. However, you can exclude files and folders from automatic or scheduled defragmentation. You can't manually defragment specific files and folders as with Auslogics Disk Defrag. As disk activity is one of the biggest power consumers in a laptop, this feature will certainly improve the battery life noticeably. Defragmentation can be automatically stopped when on battery. Yet another "smart feature" is quite useful for laptop users. You can configure Smart Defrag to defragment the pagefile, the hibernation file, the Master File Table (MFT), and other problematic system files when the computer boots up. also I did a search on this subject in this. I did defrag and like 2 days later it looks better, but still looks as though it needs defraged again or at least windows says so. Some system files can't be defragmented during runtime because this would make the system unstable. I have been doing some video editing more frequently and noticed more fragmentation also of the my video drive. ![]() Smart Defrag's Boot Time defrag is another function that most free defragmentation tools lack. You can configure the PC's idle time, after which Smart Defrag becomes active, and you can tell the tool to pause whenever the resource usage exceeds a configurable percentage. Automatic Defrag always runs in the background and only starts defragmenting if the PC is idle. The problem with scheduled defragmentation is that it can't always guarantee that the computer isn't busy at the scheduled time, and a desktop or laptop could be powered off at the scheduled time. Probably there are multiple hacks which could avoid this ban (regedit, or exporting the drive as iscsi and re-importing to the same machine, etc). This makes sense because Smart Defrag has something better to offer: Automatic Defrag. However, this feature is disabled by default. The only thing I dont like about it, Diskeeper lite made itself my default defrag software. Most defragmentation tools support scheduling, and so does Smart Defrag. Well I just used it to defrag my external drive. ![]()
