JkDefrag 3.16 Follow-up
Submitted by todd on Thu, 2007-07-05 22:44
I tried out JkDefrag 3.16 today and it looks pretty good so far. The only minor gotcha is that the GUI version only looks at the C: drive by default. But, that is a minor issue and can be addressed from the command line.
It is not as fast as Auslogic but seems to be more, hmm, complete in its attempt to defrag a hard drive. I also like the inclusion of a screensaver version of the application that can run during idle time.
Have you tried these? Contig
Have you tried these?
Contig (from Microsoft's Sysinternals division) paired with Power Defragmenter GUI (eXcessive Software).
Contig is a command-line tool to defrag a single file. Great for handling those ISO files and such. Power Defragmenter GUI harnesses that powerful tool and wraps it in a simple Windows interface, but then allows for setting of multiple file defrags or even an entire disk defrag session.
To use these tools, just download and unpack them into the same folder location. Easy!
I normally use Auslogic as well, but since Contig is a MS Sysinternals tool, I am very confident in it and the GUI wrapper program makes it a breeze to use.
I keep several different freeware Windows defrag apps around, including JkDefrag, but use Auslogics and Contig almost exclusively.
