This program officially works in Windows 7, Vista, and XP. We were able to use it just fine in Windows 8 as well. If you're looking for a program that's super simple to use and isn't bogged down with confusing settings or buttons, this program is absolutely perfect. For instance, there are zero features that you can customize. Though it's nice to have a program that isn't packed full of buttons and other toolbars, it's also sometimes unfortunate. You're able to see the number of fragmented files from an analysis and run a defrag really quickly, though you can't see the level of fragmentation that exists on a drive, nor can you schedule defragments to run at a later date.

It claims to be 10 times quicker than the default defrag tool included in Windows, and can place archive files to a different part of the drive to speed up access to regular files.

Toolwiz Smart Defrag is a small program that installs quickly and has a spotless, minimal interface. Very outdated hasn't been updated since 2015ĭoesn't show the level of fragmentation on the whole drive This program was designed for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP In addition to the above, Disk SpeedUp can exclude files and folders from a whole system defrag, run a boot time defrag, turn off the computer when a defrag has completed, and run defrags/optimizations on one or more drives on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule. You can also configure this defrag tool to automatically move large, unused, and/or files of a certain format to the end of the drive so the commonly used, smaller ones end up toward the beginning, hopefully improving access times. For example, you can disable defrags if files have fragments that are smaller than 10 MB, have more than three fragments, and are larger than 150 MB. You can also run an automatic defrag when the system has been idle for a particular number of minutes.

Might try to install another program during setupĭisk SpeedUp is another free defrag program that can defrag not only whole hard drives but also individual files and folders. It's said to be compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and Windows Server 20.ĭoesn't integrate itself into Explorer to make it easier to defrag files/folders One thing we don't like about this tool is that it tries to install additional programs during setup. Particular schedules can also be set up for boot time defrags like running it on the first computer boot up of the day, on the first of the week, or the first time your computer boots up every month. There are very specific scheduling options available in Puran Defrag like running an automatic defrag every so many hours, when the system goes idle, or when the screensaver starts. Like some of the other programs from this list, this one can defrag files and folders from the Windows Explorer right-click context menu, delete custom files/folders before a defrag is launched, and run boot time defrags. Puran Defrag features a custom optimizer called Puran Intelligent Optimizer (PIOZR) to intelligently move common files to the outer edge of a disk to speed up access to those files.
