CNET Editors' review
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.

"Good product-needs some tweeks"
Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros
Easy to read -liked watching the files get defragged -missed that as the older MS version had it -good job there -seems to pick up most - most of the files
Cons
Misses a few fragmentations-the MS program picked up the rest -does not readily tell you the storage left on the hard drive as the MS program does
Summary
It's a nice try - needs some work and then it will be valuable -have to do better than the MS program in order to be a viable product -
Thank you for the try -

"Does just fine for me, not one problem."
Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros
Seems to do good job and reasonably fast. To review the report after it is finished, you must re-analyze. The report that pops on screen is from before.
Cons
Don't know anything.

"Does what it says on the tin."
Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros
It's nice to watch the pretty defragging graphic.
Cons
Technically I don't see any advantage using this program. The Windows defrag does the same.
Summary
Not a necessary utility.

Version: Smart Defrag 1.02

Seems a bit faster than Auslogic

Notice that it seems to slow internet acquisition using both Firefox and IE7.

"Very Good!"
Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros
Very efficient and also a non memory resource hogging program! I have tried and tested this on several XP machines and all have ran without an error!
Cons
None so far BUT i have only tried this on XP not Vista which has a much better defrag suite than it's predecessor!
Summary
I'ts Free so you can't complain & the auto defrag runs very well. Just in case your worried try it out on an old pc first, not your main system! However as we all know the XP defrag sucks and took ages to do what this does in a much faster pace!

"Seems to work well based on my limited usage so far."
Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros
Seems to speed up computer. Seems to have good capabilities for running in background and to be scheduled to run when the computer is idle. The interface seems to be user friendly.
Cons
I have not encountered any problems that I know of.
Summary
It seems to speed up computer. It seems to have good capabilities for running in the background and to be scheduled to run when the computer is idle. The interface seems to be user friendly. Based on my limited experience with the program, it appears to be a winner, and the price can't be beat.
