Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance.

Auslogics Disk Defrag was designed to remedy system sluggishness and crashes caused by disk fragmentation. It will help you get the maximum performance out of your expensive hardware investments. The new version can also consolidate free space and optimize system files placement. Disk Defrag is absolutely free for home users.

You can tune Disk Defrag to work even faster by changing its algorithms settings. Select “remove temporary files” and “skip large fragments” options to speed up defragmentation.

However, how is Disk Defrag different than Disk Doctor for example?
We all can try different defrag applications, but in essence they all do the same and boost hard drive performance one way or another, or both.
Thanks for the info though.
Yeah, I agree with your opinion that a simple disk defragmentation can not be missed when trying to get a faster computer for it helps to easily make the computer run faster by rearranging them stay at the same single place and insist on regularly defragmenting my computer.

“why not use a system which doesn’t fragment data in the first place? why not use ubuntu?”
’cause I think most of us are using Windows.
When talking about defragmentation, I have something to add.
Therefore, you have to make good preparation as follow:
1. You should clean up the junk files and information.
Since your system work for a long time, the junk files may cram many unconscious operations may result in junk files. They are temporary files when installing the programs, cache files after browsing, DLL files left by deleting software and error files produced by shutting down the computer forcedly.
It is common that most users are inclined to use the disk cleaning up programs in the Windows, at the same time, you can also turn to certain more powerful defragmenter to help you.
2. You should check and restore any mistake in the hard disk.
Of course, you can have a try of the Disk Scan Program of Windows firstly. Although it really takes a lot of time to repair it, as long as you are patient enough, the most errors and mistakes can be restored after complete and detailed scanning.
