Comments on: Top defrag utility: IOBit Smart Defrag

If your computer seems sluggish, one of the first things you should try is defragging your hard drive. Jason Parker just found a program that just hit it's full release Version 1.0 and it might be the best he's seen yet.

by chadharrisonford September 25, 2008 7:00 AM PDT: Great find! Thanks. I just ran AusLogics Disk Defrag last night and was looking, for the umpteenth time, for a autoshutdown feature. Instead I had to cover up my laptops screen in my hotel room while the defrag did its stuff. Wasted life on the laptop screen, wasted energy. This one sounds like a worth replacement!; Like this Reply to this comment

by paradis00 September 26, 2008 4:51 PM PDT: Major bug!
My computer went on Standby as I was defragging a USB external drive. Windows had 3 messages:
1. Data lost file $BitMap
2. Data lost file $Mft
3. Recycling Bin corrupted; must empty.
Programs with nice features aren't worth it if unsafe.
Thanks anyway but I uninstalled.; Like this Reply to this comment

I highly recommend using this Defrag program. I use it on all my computers, running Vista and Windows XP.; Like this Reply to this comment


by GEO2003 September 28, 2008 7:02 PM PDT: YOUR STATEMENT, IT OPTIMIZES FILE LOCATION - I Agree with this,

BUT THE FOLLOW-UP ------ AND FREE SPACE IS NOT TRUE--------

I used it on an xp machine, a lot of free clusters were left empty in the front of the disk, the middle and obviously the back.; Like this Reply to this comment

by rrtopaz October 30, 2008 4:46 PM PDT: You say:
"The full scan time for my test machine's 75GB hard drive (without optimization) took just over 4 minutes."
Well, i just downloaded it to see if that true, and i started 2 minutes ago on my Depp Inspiron 6000 40gb laptop...and it says 1:07:46 right this second as i type left in scan...!!!
Of course, you used a "test machine" with nothing in it, or little files/programs...
Oh wait...now it's 58:15 left...sheeesh, what a liar: 4 minutes, my butt!
All defrags take forever people!
...now back to 1:02:18...forget about it...use it when shutting down...

by James_Park October 30, 2008 7:54 PM PDT: It has a "Shutdown computer when job is done" feature, that's quite useful. We don't need to wait for it finishing its job but sleep.; Like this Reply to this comment
