Smart Defrag 3 hits all the notes you'd expect from a defragger, but it is too aggressive in terms of advertising. It throws recommendations for other programs at you at every turn. Still, it makes up for that pestering with performance that rivals most defrag programs for Windows.

Smart Defrag is a tool that helps speed up your computer by fixing disk fragmentation. Disk fragmentation often slows down computers, and Smart Defrag addresses this issue directly. This software is great for anyone who feels their computer is running slow and wants to improve its speed and efficiency.

  • Faster PC & Quicker Access Speed: Smart Defrag makes your computer faster by improving how quickly it accesses data. The software uses a new defrag engine which speeds up how fast you can copy files, start games, and use your system.
    • It cuts down the time it takes to copy files.
    • It makes games start faster.
    • It improves how quickly your computer accesses data on the disk.
  • Quicker System Boot Time: This software helps your computer start faster. It has a Boot Time Defrag feature that organizes files while your computer starts up. These files are usually not movable when the computer is on.
  • Enhanced Game Performance: Smart Defrag has a Game Optimize feature that reduces game loading times. Just select the game you want to optimize, and the software makes it start and run faster.

This program tries to replace Windows' default defragmentation widget by being more advanced and offering more style, features, and customizations. We're not kidding about replacing, either -- the program will turn off your usual defragmenter and install other programs if you don't uncheck those options during install, so be careful. Once you have Smart Defrag 3 installed, you'll be very happy with its futuristic layout that offers some customization and a nice hard drive map that is a delight to read. It lets you set automatic and boot time defrags, as well -- but you might want to program those to happen when you're not using your computer, as the program took upwards of 30 minutes to defrag when we tested it. It was smart enough to recognize our SSD and not defrag it, though. The program has an "action center" that claims to recommend performance fix

Bottom Line

It's not as if those programs are bad, by any means, it's just a little obnoxious to see nonstop advertisements for other programs. Outside of that and somewhat slow performance, Smart Defrag 3 offers everything you'd want in a defragmenting program. It's a fine replacement for Windows' default and compares favorably to top programs like Defraggler.
