Auslogics Releases Disk Defrag Pro

[william_of_palerne]

We are proud to announce the release of Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro, the professional version of the popular free Auslogics Disk Defrag. The Pro version has all the benefits of the free Disk Defrag plus includes advanced hard drive and SDD optimization features.

The new Disk Defrag Pro can significantly improve the performance of disk drives thanks to the following features:
Boot-time defragmentation – this feature speeds up system access by defragmenting system files, such as MFT, pagefile, Windows registry files, and hiberfil.sys on Windows boot, before they are locked by the system
Smart defragmentation algorithms – the user can select one of four different defragmentation algorithms to ensure the maximum performance gain
SSD optimization – a special algorithm is used to optimize the performance of SSD drives without performing excessive write operations that reduce SSD lifetime
Fragmentation prevention – Disk Defrag Pro allows to prevent fragmentation by assigning bits of free space after frequently used user-specified files
Disk cleanup and checkup – removing temporary files and checking disks for errors allows to ensure flawless defragmentation and achieve the maximum performance gain
In addition to all these features, the new Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro can consolidate free space, supports VSS volume defragmentation, has built-in resource management features, a scheduler and a defragmentation wizard that makes the program very easy to use.

Appreciate the information and for the time and effort you have given to share with us, the only misgiving i would have with the software is the claims it has on SSD's as part of me thinks this is a way to sell the software and i would like to have a look around for benchmark results on a one year old SSD to see if they have a claim to make.. maybe some-one with experience can give me a few pointers and would we see any physical improvements...

I wonder is this is true. I think I will wait and see if I start noticing a slow down in performance on my SSD before I try something like this.

Very wise words my friend, i would hold off also as it doesn't make too much sense to be honest, especially as you haven't noticed any slowdown.

There is a real mixed bag of opinions, on the advanatges defragmenting an SSD. I am with BigGuy on this. If my SSD continues to operate normally, then I don't see any reason to defrag it.

I use the free version now. I don't see every paying for a disk defrag utility.
