"It sped up my Vaio."
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
Good Design
Cons
Slow with defragmenting
-
"Beat Smart Defrag and Auslogics Disk Defrag hands down!"
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
Point and shoot, kills bugs dead. Auslogics' product reduced C drive fragmentation from 29% to 27% but could not improve on that number. Smart Defrag did absolutely nothing. Defraggler removed almost *all* fragmentation in one fell swoop.
Cons
A bit slow, but it gets the job done
Summary
I couldn't be more pleased with this free program. Thank you, thank you, Piriform!
-
"system was more fragmented after running the program!!!"
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
the fact that I didn't need to pay any money to see how bad it is
Cons
took 2 hours to defray (which I can live with as I ran it overnight) but I started with 30% fragmentation and after 2 hours had 40%!!!
Summary
don't waste your effort or time. lots of other options.

"Save your time, use another program!!!"
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
Pretty GUI interface; Pretty colors; "APPEARS" to preform a defrag of your hard drive. In short, EYE CANDY ONLY!!!
Cons
Confusing analysis results of hard drive. Questionable statics of hard drive health when compared to other hard drive utilites such as Maxtor or Seagate utilities. Suggest that you use the defrag utility created by J C Kessels at www.mydefrag.com. FAR SUPERIOR to Defraggler.
Summary
Don't even waste your time with Defraggler from Piriform. TOTAL waste of your time, especially if you're an IT professional with numerous clients and have to get their systems opoerating at peak performance!

"This is awful..."
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
Absolutely Nothing :(
Cons
Everything
Summary
This '' Program'' made my new computer work even worse. After installing it I felt that the boot up process took longer. This #### doesn't optimize your computer it makes it work slower ... I had to restore my Windows. Don't download it.

"I really like it, but don't believe the health numbers"
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
To be able to see how the program is working and to be able to differentiate between the types of data is real handy. I have always found the efficiency of this program to be a great feature.
Cons
It is nice to be able to see the health of your system, however, I have a new (not refurbished or returned) laptop that is only approximate 30 days old. However, the health display shows that the harddrive is over 753 days old. The flying hours show 494 hours. Since I have a record of when the system was built, I believe that these numbers are not accurate.
Summary
Except for some issues with numbers, the efficiency and ease of use of this software makes it more than worth while.

"The Quick Defrag is Fast !"
Version: Defraggler 2.09.391
Pros
The Quick Defrag option is the fastest such feature available on any defrag utility I've used, with the possible exception of the one which comes with the Ashampoo WinOptimizer suite.
Cons
Apparently the full defrag can take a long time from others' comments here; but that is true for any defragger on a disk containing a lot of used space, being defragmented for the very first time.
Summary
I always choose Quick Defrag since I have PerfectDisk to do a thorough defrag. Remember that full defrag not only defragments files and folders, but also optimizes their placement on the hard disk. If you don't have much time to wait, choose the Quick Defrag option from the dropdown menu at the bottom. But this is excellent, especially considering it is free. Along with the free defrag utilities by Auslogis and IObit, this is one of the best ones.
Latest version is excellent! I like the "health report" on your hard disk, the tab with S.M.A.R.T. results for drives who support that, etc.
