It is common knowledge that defragmenting your hard drive can make a great and important difference to your PCs performance and speed. We have all used Windows' own defrag tool and it is easy to say that it is slow, short on features and has a poor interface, especially in older versions of Windows. For our luck, there are various free alternatives around, and IObit Smart Defrag is one of the best.
The latest edition of this wonderful software is the outstanding Smart Defrag 4, it represents a major update for its freeware PC maintenance app. Right at the start we want to point out the new features, most importantly the new Game Defrag mode that brings program-specific speedups. Just point Smart Defrag at a shortcut or executable -- it doesn’t have to be a game, any bulky application could benefit -- and the program will optimize it for you.
If you’re aiming to defrag your entire system, a new Smart Optimize function will automatically choose the best method. If you prefer to take full control then you can still manually choose one of four options: defrag, defrag and fast optimize, defrag and fully optimize, defrag and prioritize files.
This software is a lot better than its previous versions. For example, Smart Defrag 4 has a variety of
defrag strategies. You have the possibility to defragment files alone, defrag and compact free hard drive space, or use a "deep optimise" mode to reorganise your hard drive files for the best possible speeds. All work quickly and efficiently.
Another thing you can do is to launch any of these defrag options on demand, on a schedule, or even in the background after your PC has been idle for a few minutes. You will be wrong if you think that this will hurt the performance of your PC. Smart Defrag only needs less than 15MB of RAM, doesn't fire up until your system has been idle for 5 minutes, and stops as soon as other apps become active again. All you'll notice is an all-round speed boost as Smart Defrag fixes any defrag issues automatically, before they become too serious.
Smart Defrag also includes a "Boot Time Defrag" technology which allows you to defrag files during the system boot process - these are files that cannot be defragged or are not safe to move after Windows is running.
So, we need to emphasize that Version 4 is a major update and great improvement. It contains the following new features and improvements: New Defrag Engine - Less CPU usage, faster and more stable defrag; New Smart Defrag/Optimization Technology - Intelligently perform the most suitable defrag/optimize method for different disks; Enhanced Defragmentation - Further improved algorithms to release more space and enhance defragmentation; Added SSD Trim - Improve the performance and durability of SSD; New Game Defrag - Professional game defrag technology for better gaming experience; New Report Center - Easier and clearer to view report details; Brand New UI - Simpler but easier for operation; Accessible Disk Map - Include an accessible disk map optimized for color-challenged viewers; Added Multi-language - 35 different languages supported and more will be added.
Conclusion:
Using it for the last 10 days we must emphasize that this is a quality software. It has it all, from features to speed, functionality and UI. Throughout the whole process of testing it was fast and efficient. This outstanding defrag tool will definitely ensure that your system is always running at its optimum performance. The performance of our PCs did surely improve and it is all thanks to this software.
