Advice Request Which Disk Defrag Software do you use?

[Ink]

.....defragmenting a SSD is useless. As far as know only HDDs should be defragmented frequently.

I let Windows "optimise" the SSD & HDD. Would you agree that Optimise is a better term?

2-3 years ago i performed on my SSD a so called "clean" installation of win7. When you start the installation routine of windows then windows automatically chooses the best settings (defragementation, trim, pre-fetch, etc) for your SSD. As far as i know:
by default windows turns all optimization options off for a SSD. Simply because they are 'useless': the don't increase the
performance of a SSD. You should not change these settings made by the windows setup/setup routine for a SSD.
Also: any other tools/3rd party tools that are offering optimizations for a SSD are also simply useless/not recomended.

On the other side: defragmentation of HDDs is neccessary. It increases the performance and reliability of a HDD.

Just started using Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro that i just scored in a giveaway.

Using the free version myself, dumped Defraggler for Auslogics... Blazing fast compared to Defraggler!!

I'm using an old version of Diskeeper which is working awesome on my Vista. Excellent results !

Before even considering buying which I'm really tempted to what are your opinion with Diskeeper?! It now uses DRAM which was previously only available with V-locity sort of RAM cache.

switched to using o & o defrag professional 18 ( got it from an older giveaway ) works nice and quite fast and it's better than smart defrag

I use Raxco PerfectDisk Pro 14. It is fast and effective.

MyDefrag is one of the best options.

Auslogics Disk Defrag seem to have pup now.. wonder if it's safe to use

None - I have 2 SSDs & 2 HDDs - you shouldn't defrag an SSD

 

[RejZoR]

This is why I'm not using defrag software anymore

This is why I'm not using defrag software anymore

[jAcos]

I use free version of Auslogics!

 

[maximus]

I use O&O Defrag 19 Pro

 

[Adz.]

MyDefrag is the fastest. It's currently what i'm using for both my SSDs and HDDs!

I dumped all the other 3rd party defrags, all rubbish.

I use Windows Defrag running from Windows USB at boot, it is fast and it performs pretty well.

 

[Andytay70]

I originally voted for Auslogic defrag (Pro) but i since changed to O&O defrag and quite like it.

 

[spaceoctopus]

Auslogics is good,but O&O is far better and more powerful.

 

[Pat MacKnife]

In the past i used auslogics and smartdefrag, but since Windows 8 and 10 I use Windows built-in Defragmenter which i find also realy good.... i think there is no need for all these other programs.

I had to select SSD you don't have the "Hybrid" option up there,
I was using the default windows tool, I can Defrag a hybrid drive
but I was trying to not "optimize" it too frequently .
I may look at O&O seeing how many here swear by it
