Defraggler v1.02.085 Final is wonderful.
I much prefer it over any of the many other defrag tools I have used.
For one thing I can defrag individual files, which is one feature I require.
It's Defraggler for me now on.
Highly Recommended.

Defrag Individual Files
Most defragmentation tools only let you defrag the whole drive. Defraggler gives you the power to select individual files and folders to defrag. So you can get the job done in seconds, rather than waiting for the whole drive to complete. Of course if you want to defrag the whole drive Defraggler will let you do that too.
Features

As it says on the tin, it does it in seconds. Well, it does for me.

Will it defrag the WHOLE drive in seconds? I will set it running again and time it for a 160GB drive while still using the computer.

It took 24 minutes, a lot longer than Diskeeper. Also bear in mind that the drive was defragged yesterday before I closed down.

I will leave it on the computer for now and give it a few more tries. I will almost certainly then uninstall it. I would not like to be without the boot time defrag in Diskeeper. It really does make a noticeable difference to the speed of operation of the computer.

I got rid of it and went back to Diskeeper. Definitely the very best.

Useless - worse than!

I recently bought a laptop machine (my first). Having finsished loading most of the stuff I want on to it, I tried Defraggler.

At the start:

17 fragmented files = 21.5GB
73 total fragments
44% Fragmentation
48.6GB used space

At the end::

5 fragmented files = 21.5GB
67 total fragments
43% Fragmentation
50.3GB used space

What has it done for me? Well consolidated 17 files into 5 with no change in total size. Lost 1% of fragments only and lost 1.7GB of hard drive space - all in the time of 85 minutes.

Huh!

I would hazard a guess from your resuts that the new laptop is a Vista machine ?

System restore points, especially in Vista, continue to take snapshots, even while you are defragging (part of Volume Shadow Copy), so I believe that the big unchanged files remain because you have not turned off Volume Shadow Copy ?

See this thread :-http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=16464

+ have a read through this :-

Defraggler seems to work fine with every O/S that I have tried including Windows 7RC (after a bit of "tweaking" )

[-pops-]

Yes, it is a Vista machine.

I still feel Defraggler a load of rubbish. if it requires things to be turned off, it should tell you that.

Even considering that, it still consumed drive space.

I've just run Windows defragmenter and have 40GB used space which is more like I anticipated.

I tried Defraggler some time ago on XP, and ran Diskeeper afterwards. Before running Diskeeper I analysed the drive after using Defraggler, and Defraggler had hardly made any difference. I will stick with Diskeeper thanks.
