Auslogics Disk Defrag
Disk Defrag Overview
Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free compact defragmentation tool that supports FAT 16/32, and NTFS (with compressed and encrypted files). For the individual and corporate user Disk Defrag is perfect for maintaining high-level disk performance.
Here you can select from the drop down list of hard disk drives. You can also defragment removable drives such as USB keys, Flash Memory Cards and other removable drives by enabling the "Display removable drives" option in the program settings.
Disk Fragmentation Map
You can watch Disk Defrag optimizing your disk on the disk fragmentation map. The map shows you disk clusters, each cluster being red (still fragmented), blue or green (already optimized), gray (free space) or yellow for clusters occupied by the MFT (Master File Table).
How Disk Defragmentation Works
Files on disk are often split into two or more pieces. In order to read these files, the disk reading heads have to frequently move which slows down disk access and causes wear and tear to the disk drive. Defragmetation consolidates such files to speed up disk access and prolong the disk life.
Defragmentation Results
After the disk defragmentation is complete you will be presented with a summary of the process. You can click the "Display Report" button to open a comprehensive defragmentation report with all defragmented files listed in it.
