Top 10 defrag tools

Is your PC running slow? Are some of your programs taking longer and longer to open? Does your hard drive sound like it’s going to grind to a halt any minute? Chances are that you need to defragment your hard drive. Windows comes bundled with it’s own defrag tool but if you’ve ever used it, you’ll know that it’s painfully slow and lacks any kind of useful advanced features. Here’s my top ten:

• AMS FAST Defrag – Includes various other tools to speed-up your PC

• Auslogics Disk Defrag – Automatically shut-down your PC when the defrag is done

• Power Defragmenter GUI – Utilizes a special PowerMode defrag method

• SpeeDefrag – Shuts down your PC and defrags with minimum running processes

• JkDefrag – Defrags external devices such as floppies and USB sticks

• PageDefrag – Shows how fragmented your paging files and Registry files are

• VoptXP – Schedule defrags at specific times and dates

• UltraDefrag – Open source defragger with 4 different defrag types

• mst Defrag – Very comprehensive defragger packed with advanced features

• IObit SmartDefrag – Defrags in the background whilst you use your PC
