The only 'drawback' is that it's not free, but IMO it's worth the money because it has a wide range of options and defrag modes for each drive. If you are on XP and really insist on 'free', then Diskeeper Lite is probably the best choice....although it's very old, atleast it's safe and from a reputed manufacturer.
