Free 64-bit compatible defragger wanted

Probably by how quickly it actually performs the defragmentation. I haven't liked the windows built in one since XP.

Actually, isn't that the same one they've had since Win95? With the rainbow of lines (or the big blocks of red if you're defragging my mom's pc)

And I'll join the +1'ing of Auslogics with everyone else. It's awesome and actually shows you what its doing and doesn't just give you a green progress bar like the crap Vista/Win7 one

I contest that -I tested Auslogics by running it, then I ran the Windows one afterward and just had it analyze my disk - it said that the disk was 0% fragmented, indicating that Auslogics actually does defrag, and does a faster job that the one included in Windows does.

So, how much faster is your computer? How much does it actually matter?

So if I write a program which is just a progress bar that takes 3 minutes and 36 seconds to finish and then show a messagebox saying "done defragmenting" it would be a superior tool? Even though it didn't actually do anything.

I haven't defragged a disk in years, I can't say this has caused any problems.

From a fresh install I can clearly tell the difference before and after a defrag. It's hard to say afterwards since I keep my disks pretty well defragedmented. With the latency on a platter drive defragmentation is never a bad idea. More fragments=more seek time

So, how much faster is your computer? How much does it actually matter?

Thats a difficult thing to test but it is noticeable.
