Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's hard to stand out in the crowded field of defraggers, but SmartDefrag is able to do so with an unexpected twist.
Along with quick analysis and scans, SmartDefrag boasts an automated defragger that continually defrags the files that you use the most, and does it without becoming a persistent drag on your system resources. When running in the background, the program only eats up 14MB of RAM, so it's possible to run it smoothly on older machines.
Other features we like include a scheduler you can set up to defrag whenever you want and some customization features if you want the program to start when Windows loads or right before logging off. You also can set it to shutdown your computer when it's done defragging your hard drives and partitions.
Overall, if you would like a handy defragger with options for scheduling and more, this is a great defragger for both novices and more experienced users.

Version: Smart Defrag 1.40
Pros: Like the title suggests, it works great and without any system slowdown. Simple and effective.
Cons: None. It's great.
Summary: Why pay for Diskeeper or Perfectdisk when this will do just as good a job for the everyday user without costing a penny. Highly recommended.

Version: Smart Defrag 1.40
Pros: Runs quietly and efficiently.
Cons: It grabs my portable HDD, and I have to shut it down to release it properly.
-
Version: Smart Defrag 1.40
"faster than comparable defrag programs"
Pros: It works very quickly. The option to have the computer shut down once the defrag process is complete is very handy.
Cons: Sometimes I open this and it does not respond when I click on "start". I have to close and reopen it to get it to work. This may be caused by something to do with my computer and software set up rather than a fault in Smart DeFrag.
