Version: UltimateDefrag Freeware Edition 1.72
Pros: Seems to work quickly. Flexible, with bells and whistles, though you will have to read the manual in order to use all the optimizing options wisely.

"The search is over. Time to replace the standard defragmentier
"Pros: What can I say????
1. It will defrag your disk no matter how much free space you have.
2. It is faster than the default one.
3. You can choose where to place files and folders for faster access.
4. It comes with the FULL manual.
5. It really boosts performance.
6. It can be compared with DiskKeeper.
7. It IS FREE!
8. You do not need to restart windows to defrag your drive.
It is a DiskKeeper class product. It has a huge performance difference to the standard windows defragmenter, the results can be seen instantly after defrag.
I am running a music studio and I have music instrument samples up to a gigabyte each. After difragging with this beauty (I could not defrag them at sufficiently with windows one and AT ALL with Auslogics Disk Defrag) the performance went up the roof.
Just install it, you will be amazed.

"Great Defragger at a Great Price"
Pros: UltimateDefrag is much better than the standard Windows defragger. This offers the ability to optimize the file placement to improve disk performance. There are several extra features like scheduled defrags and boot-time defrags to deal with those locked files. Power users will like it since it has so many options on how to defrag the drive. The circular drive map is also a nice touch since it gives a visual representation that more closely matches a drive platter.
Cons: The large amount of options may be a bit overwhelming to the user. Fortunately, there is an auto setting, but users may not know to select that one since it's not the default option. The user interface can be confusing to some people due to it's orientation towards power users. I found the defrag process to be a bit slow, but it was probably a result of the thoroughness of the file placement optimization. Finally, the estimated remaining time is completely inaccurate. It estimated that it would be done within a few minutes for half an hour.

"Excellent well-conceived tool"
Pros: It moves files to where they are optimal, closing up all the little gaps other free defraggers leave behind. This is significant next time large (ie, DVD) files are loaded. Great freeware tool from someone who knows how to do it right.
Cons: It is slow, especially the first optimization, but it is being thorough to do properly what should be done.
