MyDefrag (defragmenter)Windows XP had a great defragmenter included with it. It wasn’t particularly feature rich, but it worked great and didn’t require any additional software. Unfortunately Microsoft ditched that app in Vista and it will never return. The defrag tool included with Windows Vista and Windows 7 is frankly terrible. It doesn’t give you any idea of how far it has progressed or what it is doing. So, lets replace it with something that is actually good, MyDefrag. This utility gives you a lot more than just defragmenting file, it optimizes the data on the drive. Moving the the data to the outside of the disc where the rotational velocity is higher and transfer rates are fastest and sorting files on the disc. Suffice it to say that this is a very advanced defrag tool, and you should be using it. Be sure to disable the default defrag tool (a scheduled item in Vista/7) because it will un-optimize the disc. |
