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.
This page is out of date, but will take you to the IOBit website where you can download version
5.01beta. I have tried this program and so-far it has not wrecked my hard disk - With a beta version
that is the best you can say - time will tell.
