CNET Editors' review
Join your hard drive fragments together into a tight bunch with this freeware. Auslogics Disk Defrag's interface couldn't be any cleaner or easier to use.
Choose a hard drive from an easy-to-read pull-down menu, and Disk Defrag instantly displays the drive's size, and used and free space. The program even displays a pie graph for visual learners. One click starts the defragmentation process. The program's defrag process screen displays another handy visual. A sector map makes it easy to see how much of the drive is fragmented, allocated, or free. As the program churns away, the defragged sectors are displayed in blue.
We found the program fast, even on older XP systems. A handy HTML report is prepared after each defrag session. A summary displays the total files and folders defragged, while the detail section lists the defrag outcome for each file. We only wish a final sector map was included in the report. Novices to system administrators will love this easy-to-use hard drive defrag program.
Auslogics Disk Defrag:Publisher's Description
From Auslogics Software:
Disk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startup and shutdown and sometimes to system failures. Auslogics Disk Defrag is designed for fast optimization of today's modern hard disks. Get the maximum performance out of your expensive hardware investments. And it's absolutely free. Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. CPU and memory work much faster than hard disks because they do not have moving parts. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance. Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads move frequently when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes. It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible.
Version 2.0.0.15 adds an option to change disk map color, adds new themes.

"Top Marks!!!"
Version: Auslogics Disk Defrag 2.0.0.15
Pros
Very fast, easy to grasp, a must have for all windows machines! Far superior compared to "Smart Defrag".
Cons
Nothing, runs very well!
Summary
I use XP & Vista and run this app on both, yes the vista built in version is much better than it's predecessor "but" it still takes ages to run. I like this program for it's simplicity and ease, a very cool app! You will be surprised how good it really is, download now and you won't regret!

"Excellent. 2.0.0.15 is both smarter and more detailed."
Version: Auslogics Disk Defrag 2.0.0.15
Pros
Excellent.
Free.
Keeps getting better.Cons
Not as customizable as very expensive products I have used.
Summary
Simple to run. Doesn't overwhelm the user with information, but shows that it is alive, and paints an attractive and informative picture of what is going on. Excellent detail report available showing file status. The beg-ware (advertising for products that pay the bills) is not annoying: Reasonably noticeable buy-me links displayed.

"Not as good as the built-in defragger"
Version: Auslogics Disk Defrag 2.0.0.15
Pros
Free, simple and fast
Cons
Huge cons: 1) does not defrag free space; 2) if it can't find a single chunk of free space big enough for a file, it will not defrag that file. Combine 1 and 2, and you have one very poor defragmenter!
Summary
The cons outweigh the pros -- this program has an incredibly limited algorithm for defragmenting that left my disk 23% fragmented after any number of runs. 1) does not defragment free space, which means that as soon as you're finished defragging, your fragmentation will start going up immediately. 2) does not defrag files it can't find a large enough single chunk of free space for, so most large files will remain in hundreds or thousands of fragments. It's basically a toy.
