Comparison: Free Rippers
When the hard disk of a computer saves a new file, it is in fragments. These are not necessarily the size of the file, so normally a file is divided into several different parts scattered around the hard drive.
Inevitably, over time the fragments of files end up occupying all of our positions away from each other, so that Windows will cost more time to access the pieces of a file. As a result, the system slows down.
The solution to this problem is defragmentation programs that reorganize the mess, staying in the same place for the same file. Windows comes with a default, but there are more with different functions.
Here we review the most popular free defragmenters.
Speed
One of the reasons that can lead us to opt for an alternative to the Windows defragmenter is that it is faster.
In tests, UltraDefrag, Auslogics Disk Defrag and UltimateDefrag have proven to be the fastest, up to double the Windows Defragmenter. For its part, Defraggler and JKDefrag takes the same time perform the same task.
Working with multiple schedule defragmenting disks and
Today, with the number of files we use, we often have more than one hard drive or more than one partition on your computer. Thus, defragment one by one is a bit uncomfortable.
The same goes for manual defragmentation. It's much better if the Program itself is responsible for conducting work on a specific day and time.
Of the five defragmenters analyzed, only Auslogics Disk Defrag and Disk Defragmenter to select several at once. Regarding the defragmentation program, and UltraDefrag JKDefrag are the ones who do not include this feature.
Defragmenting individual files
Not all files are fragmented, thus making the entire disk defragmentation may be unnecessary. Auslogics Disk Defrag, and UltimateDefrag UltraDefrag to select a folder or individual file to defragment, rather than performing the operation with the entire unit.
Full optimizing
A part of a standard defragmentation, disk optimization take longer fragmented, servicing further or eliminate unnecessary or temporary files are options to consider opting for a defragmenter.
Thus, we will use it less because the disc takes longer to fragment again.
Conclusions
Despite being free, the five analyzed defragmenters have demonstrated over the Windows file Defragmenter.
Although not all are in Spanish, its interface is fairly intuitive, some can be used from a USB drive, and offer features that make them worthy alternatives.
For less demanding users and that is simple, and Auslogics Disk Defrag Defraggler defragmentation are indicated.
For its part, offers quality JKDefrag but sacrificing ease of use and personalization.
Finally, UltimateDefrag UltraDefrag and defragmentation are shown as for advanced users who seek to fully customize the maintenance task to achieve peak performance.
