Hey guys what would you say is better than Ultradefrag 64bit for a free or paid defragment program for windows 7 or xp pro as I still have some xp machines. There's a lot of free defrag. And there's alot more) But are they actually any better than the built in Windows one. I tell if one defrag utility is better than. Just wondering if there are any programs that can do a better job of defragging windows XP than windows own defragger? In times of Windows XP there were better alternatives than the integrated one, but with Windows 8 the defrag software became a lot better so I would personally stick with this one.

Best Answer: Fragmentation is always a problem with hard drives. The more you save, delete, move your files, the more your hard drive will suffer. So I would say a defrag program is essential to keep your computer in shape. Windows defrag by itself its pretty good. It will get the job done and you will notice that the speed to access your files will improve. Other programs such as perfectdisk, diskeeper, o&o will have more features such a scheduled defragmentation and other features that will help your computer.

It always depends on what the user likes and feels comfortable with. Someone might like this defrag program and swear by it but another person might hate it. Now, different programs sometimes have different ways to arrange or 'defrag' your files in the hard drive. Some might put the files you access the most in the inner core of the hard drive as the speeds there are faster than files in the outer core. Windows defrag doesn't do this but others do.

In the past I have tried perfectdisk, diskeeper o&o, ashampoo and the list goes on. But I always seem to go back to diskeeper.

Some people like it, some people don't. Does it work? Yes, it does work. Virtual Weather Station 14 Crack. In fact, I defrag my hard drive daily with diskeeper. I don't even know when my hard drive is being defragmenting because I scheduled it to run on my background.

I don't notice any decrease in performance while my hard drive is being degramented and it is definetely faster than having a fragmented hard drive. 'My experience with the expensive defrag utilities like Diskeeper & Perfect Disk is that they tend to be large and resource hungary' I don't know about Perfectdisk, but I use Diskeeper and it's not resource hungry at all.

It's a fine program with a superb automatic defragmenting mode. In the autodefrag mode, it will run in the background, and when fragmentation has crossed a threshold it will defrag quietly, using hardly any resources. If the system needs the resources for something else, then it will immediately suspend operations. Infact, it is so transparent that you don't even feel it's presence.

But it does a great job, and you don't have to worry anymore about manually defragging the drives. BTW, fragmentation has nothing to do with the size of the drives, but rather the way in which the windows file system (FAT/NTFS) operates. Actually, defrag is useful, especially with larger hard drives. You see, yes, it was made when space was limited, but the effect carries over What defragging does, is move all the files and pieces of a program physically closer together on the disk, so that it hast to make fewer revolutions to read all the data, and therefore makes applications load faster.

And while you're probably a LOT safer using the built-in defragger, there are a few applications that will do it for you, most of them will just add a shortcut to the actual built-in one, but in my Sources i stuck a google search, and there are a few bits of software you can check out and make a decision. • Tell us some more • Upload in Progress • Upload failed.
