Windows Defrag Software

[emp1re]

Hello everyone. I am brand new to the forums and am glad to have found another community for everything tech. Just a little disappointed since CPU Magazine has now deleted their forum but glad to find a new 'hot-spot' nonetheless.

Just a simple question. I'm looking for an alternative to Windows defrag integrated utility. Any suggestions for a better solution for said task? I'm sure there are tons of utilities that do this, but I'd like a few freeware suggestions if possible.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm needing it for a Windows Vista machine.

Defragmenting won't actually do all that much for performance, in my experience. But if you need one, I'd recommend MyDefrag.

I use the built in defrag. Haven't found anything better.

You've already wasted more time thinking about this than you'll likely save by using a 3rd party defrag tool. Just let Windows do it's thing in the background.

This. Built in Windows defrag is perfectly adequate.
