Let's we see until Windows 10 RTM Launched.. test on it

Windows Disk Defragmenter is all you need, no need for third party software.

well tbh windows defrag does a poor job comapred to say smart defrag or defraggler which is made by the ccleanner people.

tbh all windows stuff should be replaced with a 3rd party as for example i tried using windows back up on my external drive tried to recover at one point says sorry the drive doesnt exist even though i had a system image there. so i looked it up online and yo ucan only backup on windows backup to the same drive windows is on well whats the point in that.

long story short 3rd partys always offer better software than windows default

Actually the included defrag in Vista and more recent versions of Windows works very well. Since it runs automatically in the background once a week, there really is not much need to used 3rd party defrag software.

For example:

How good is the Windows 7 Defragmenter actually?
The Windows 7 Defragmenter does quite a decent job. Unlike its Windows XP counterpart, it does not perform as well at the boot optimization, but scores in the disciplines defragmentation and consolidation of free space. Thus, the Windows 7 Defragmenter is competitive with the other defragmenters. In other words, other defragmenters are struggling to make the system noticeably faster. An advantage of the Windows 7 Defragmenter is that it automatically works in the background. The user does not need to worry about anything in that regard.

As for the asked question. In the past benchmarks, Defraggler has been more effective than Smart Defrag. In this test, in most benchmarks, performance was better with the Windows defrag than after using Smart Defrag. But, to be fair Smart Defrag has been upated since the test. But, my own recent testing of Smart Defrag, showed it unable to defrag a number of large files, despite there being plenty of free space.

For average PC and average user there is NO noticeable speed increase in real time work environment. Only if you are into ludicrous benchmarking for milliseconds some of the third party could manage some miniscule improvement and that is big maybe.

Excellent article. I really like Auslogics free, in particular the way it optimizes the drive.

I'm using both Defraggler and Auslogics Disk Defrag. They're both great.

MyDefrag hands down. Install-and-forget or customise every tid-bit by modifying existing or writing your own scripts.

Read the author's articles about fragmentation and Microsoft's findings so you'll know rather than guess.

It works on Win10 (it uses Windows API only) also and it uses Windows Task Scheduler, so no extra redundant services are installed.
