I am trying to decide which is more reliable defragging tool, or whether I should use another program. I scanned my HDD with both, Win 7 came up with 0% fragmentation but Defraggler came up with 5%. Is one proven to be more reliable than the other? And is Defraggler faster like some people say?
I would expect defraggler to be more accurate. Microsoft's programming isn't brilliant, plus defraggler is constantly updated whilst the defrag tool in windows is based off the vista one. And defraggler is faster and shows you exactly what files are fragmented
Okay so I chose to go with Defraggler, I ran it and after about six hours it was done. The 5% fragmentation was reduced to 0% (well, 101.8 KB still fragmented). Out of curiosity, I ran "analyze" again afterwards and it came back with 25% fragmented.
EDIT:
If it's any help, the remaining fragmented file is System Volume Information. I looked deleted all but the most recent restore point and my the 414 GBs of free space turned into 446, which is good, but now I scanned with Defraggler and it's 28% fragmented. The hell? Win 7 Defragger still says 0% fragmentation.
Okay, I'm looking into that.
So I uninstalled Defraggler and installed Auslogics Boostspeed, I scanned it and it said 0% fragmentation like Win 7 did, so I'm guessing Defraggler is not to be trusted on my OS?
