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.

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. -------------------- Gustav Mahler was the worlds finest composer, EVER |

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 :- http://www.howtohaven.com/system/turn-off-...opy-vista.shtml Defraggler seems to work fine with every O/S that I have tried including Windows 7RC (after a bit of "tweaking"  )

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.

Defraggler v1.15.163
QUOTE In release 1.15 of Defraggler, we've focused on Windows 7 support and improving the user interface. User interface - The most obvious change is the improved appearance of the pie chart from a standard windows one into a cooler transparent one. We hope you like it! Windows 7 - Released on October 22, and Defraggler has full support! We've got new internal optimizations that will improve your system optimization experience on this new OS!
