what should i use to defrag my HDD?

i just basically want something that wont take very long. Is the defragger that comes with windows good enough?

O&O defrag is probably one of the better but it's not free or cheap.

For a free defragger you could try this,

Never used it myself but have used their ccleaner for a while now.

thanks, i guess i should have said something free

I use Auslogics disk defrag. It's free, and really fast. I've had a good experience with it so far.

I also use Defraggler

Recommend this aswell

I like Diskeeper

Start > Run > cmd > "defrag c:" > Enter

Fastest and most simple way of defragging.

is the auslogic boost speed also beneficial enough to try out? i just tried both defraggler and auslogic disk defragger, and the auslogic seems much faster so ill stick with that.

I would use windows defrag if I have to. But, I have never need it. The best way to defrag is not defrag at all. The best is actually reload the backup image, which will put data in the best positions ever. And I do image recover to clean up my messy hard drive at same time.magicalclick

There is also JKdefrag that works great.
