A full utility defragmentation is a bit too
much for some users. If you are looking for an utility with basic, easy to
understand functionality and simple UI, Magical Defrag 3 is quite appropriate.
The simple interface, with only a few primary set up for Administration (Job
Management), or create scheduled defrag tasks through a wizard. They include
drive selection, order the program to ignore any file and in particular size,
create conditions for the temporary suspension of duty (not run while using the
battery, while printing, etc), set the duration of the task and set the start
and end point. You can run any saved job at any time (not just follow its
pre-set schedule), or you can select a drive manually and start the
defragmentation process. By default, the program keeps track of the new
fragmented and defragmented files while computer does not work and it's running
installed, optional screensavers.
Final
analysis screen of Screen Defrag 3 is short and concise
Do not look for the optimization features
of Magical Defrag 3. You can not choose where the file layout on disk, or how
to sort them. You also will not have the visual representation of the
fragmented state or hard drive during the analysis period; what you all have is
some words explain the results, and analysis itself seems to take forever on
the large partitions. However, Magical Defrag 3 equipped interface with a
simple, efficient and very few configuration options convenience. Adding an
excellent contextual support system, low cost, and 40-day free trial period,
you have a defragmenter that is worth a try.

You should not expect a free defragmenter
will provide expanding optimization capabilities. You are asking too much, but
the feature list of IObit Smart Defrag is surprisingly good. It can defragment
at boot time, the schedule work, and that defragmentation will stop
automatically when the resource utilization ratio in excess of user-defined
percentages. There is even an exclusion list that you can build for individual
folders and files you want to skip while Smart Defrag analyzes and defrags the
drive.
This utility provides 3 optimization
profiles: Defrag Only, Defrag and Fast Optimize, and Defrag and Fully Optimize.
The first does not move file, while laters focuse on the removal of empty space
between them with varying degrees. No options to layout inside and outside
slots, and no further details are provided in the help system of the product.
We found that when available capacity of the drive is 80% or more, Defrag and
Fully Optimize did not do much, it's difficult to move and combine large files.
(One of its options allows users to skip files that larger than 1GB, helps a
lot in these cases). However, with 50% free disk space, this optimization
strategy is extremely successful.
There are few reports in Smart Defrag that
is worth monitoring. First, the program provides a list of fragmented files in
disk partition, which can sort by file name, size, path and number of
fragments. While you can not interact separately to defragment a specific file,
it is useful in providing clues about some of the most accessed files on your
drive regardless of size. Second, Smart Defrag offers a real-time chart in the
CPU usage, disk activity and number of files defragmented automatically. Similarly,
the tab Boot Time Defrag presents date, size, and the drives that are
defragmented, and offers three check boxes allow you to select MFT defragment,
page file and system file.
For a free program, Smart Defrag provides
reliable ability, and you can not beat its price.
