<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20975455</link>
<description><![CDATA[What&#146;s the primary cause of slow/unstable PC performance? It&#146;s disk fragmentation. Smart Defrag helps defragment your hard drives more efficiently than any other product on the market &#150;&#150; free or not
http://www.iobit.com/iobitsmartdefrag.html

It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool!

And remember like all Piriform products, Defraggler is completely free for both corporate and individual use.
http://www.defraggler.com

SpeeDefrag

SpeeDefrag is the exclusive freeware program, which optimizes Windows defrag. It restarts your computer, which refreshes the RAM and loads just the defrag.exe program. This imposes minimum load on the system and therefore defragmentation speed is increased. This small software will also shutdown or restart your computer automatically once defrag is over. It supports scheduling of defrag and now it also performs disk checking before defrag.

THE SOLUTION: SpeedItUp Free will drastically speed up & enhance any computer system running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP.

UltraDefrag 

UltraDefrag is powerful Open Source defragmentation tool for Windows NT. It is very fast, because the defragmenting is done by kernel-mode driver. They are three interfaces to them: graphical, console and native. The GUI is very useful, because it represents your filesystem visually as a color coded cluster map. The console is another option for those that prefer the command line. It is also allows you to run UltraDefrag from the task scheduler and scripts. Finally, the native executable will run at boot time in a manner similar to chkdsk
