Smashing Defrag

In computer world, fragmentation is related to the wrong placement of files and folders on the hard disk, resulting in performance problems, as the files take longer to be found when they are needed. That is why every hard disk should be defragmented once in a while, especially if there is a lot of data on them. The Windows operating system features a defragmenting tool, but unfortunately, this is not that good and requires a lot of time to complete. The results provided by the tool are not good enough for most users. That's why it would be a good idea to use a 3rd party application for defragmenting the hard disk.

Smashing Defrag is one of those programs. It's a simple Windows application which works much better than the Windows defragmenting utility. After installing it using its simple installer, the program can start doing its work by clicking on the Computer Defragment button. This will automatically analyze and defragment every system partition. Alternatively, one can only choose to analyze a partition and to view a report regarding each fragmented file contained by it. This is displayed as a web page at the end of the analysis process.

Besides analyzing and defragmenting complete partitions, one can also defragment specific files and folders, for saving time. Besides that, there are a couple of optimization types available, for improving the working speed. All the options provided by the application are easily accessible thanks to the tabbed interface. Using the same interface, the user can unlock the demo version to the full one and can also update the program, in case there are any updates available.
