Auslogics Disk Defrag is a hard disk defragmentation software for the Windows operating system. Recently version 3 of the software program has been released; Reason enough for us to take a look at the improvements in this new version. At its core stands the option to defragment all connected hard drives of the computer system. The hard drives can be analyzed before the defragmentation to ensure that it is necessary to start the process at all. Hard drives can be unselected which is helpful in several cases including connected solid state drives or encrypted partitions that are not mounted.
The analysis will display the total number of files and the number of fragmented files on the PC system. Auslogics Disk Defrag can then defragment the selected hard drives. A new feature is the option to optimize the fragmentation by consolidating free space by placing all files on the disk contiguously.
The top menu contains several additional options, namely the option to defragment a file or folder and to change the process priority of the defragmentation.
The defragmentation can be paused and resumed anytime. One interesting option is the defragmented file view which makes it possible to take a look at all defragmented files of the selected hard drive. Most changes have been made to the core including performance improvements to the defragmentation process, better tie-ins with the Windows Task Scheduler or better processing of files that are locked by the computer system.
Auslogics Disk Defrag is available as an installer or portable version. It can be downloaded from the developer’s website where it is available for all Microsoft operating systems that have been released since Windows XP including Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Interested users can take a closer look at the release notes to read about all of the changes that have been added to the disk defragmentation software. (via Download Squad)

This is the defragger I use. i don’t know that it is better than the freeware competition, but it works for me; pretty quick on my PC but I keep the hard drive fairly clean. Have seen no rewrite errors at all, an overlooked aspect of defraggers.
Free defrag software is the first one I check and I must say that with Auslogics Disk Defrag no more waiting for files to open.
The idea to continu working while disk defrag is on its an option not to negociate and Auslogics Disk Defrag lets the user continu its pc job while the disk is defragged. Some softs asks to reboot to start defrag or to complete defrab but its not the case of Auslogics Disk Defrag.
