![]() IMHO, it would be more efficient, and quicker by far!, to simply format and rewrite it. The only thing mydefrag has that this doesn't is the ability to defrag a flash drive. All in all I like where this is going while mydefrag is somewhat 1999. This has boot defrag as well as optimization options, mydefrag has just the basic day/week/month scripts. Plus this has options which mydefrag apparently never will. I've had issues with this before too but I like that it is being developed while mydefrag isn't. Some will pay to automatically defrag their discs and others simply won't do it at all. Windows as a file system on mechanical drives will never be the end all for speed OR access to data no matter how the files are placed. The configuration file now allows turning off updating, among other things, & for exclusions, inclusions, and has zip, rar, and 7zip's excluded by default as well. Per the devs: "The main goal of defragmentation is disk access speedup." And I would hope in the process extend the life of your discs as well. I can not express my gratitude for this wonderful, and FREE program - many, many thanks - keep up the good work guys! This has been an ongoing test - for years, but with the release of v5 RC1, Ultradefrag has moved into the big league. I have not bithered to see what any other defragmenter says about fragmentation - when I used their algorithms, the times were nowhere near what they are now, so my opinion is those are the flawed algorithms, not Ultradefrag's algorithms. I can do a typical 1TB full optimization in less than 5 minutes (it is done daily on all machines), and the subsequent file access times are slashed from all other tested defragmenters.The application startup time, and plugin render times on the DAW and Video machines is beyond a simple improvement - it is on the order of 1/4 the previous times. I have a multimedia studio, and the files are many, constantly changing content, size and location (all workstations have at least 3 internal drives - server has 6) The other area this utility shines in is optimizing media files well in excess of 1GB. This hold true on server as well as workstation tests. Speed of full optimization and boot-time defrag. Speed of file access and application startup 2. Ultradefreag comes in a strong first place in two categories: 1. ![]() I have used, Defraggler, O&O, Diskeeper, SmartDefrag (formerly MyDefrag), and Auslogics. I am confused at the results spectrum I see here - if you are replacing the Windows defrag utility, then why is it being used to benchmark this utilities effectiveness? In my environment, I have several machines allocated for different tasks, as well as a main fileserver.The client machines are all Win7 Enterprise 64-bit, and the server is Server 2008 R2 64-bit.
