Tag: Disk Defrag

mydefragMyDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer, a maintenance utility to make your harddisk faster. Fast, low overhead, with many optimization strategies, can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a set of easy to use scripts for endusers, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus commandline version that can be scheduled by the Windows task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts.

MyDefrag is extremely solid because it is based on the standard defragmentation API by Microsoft. Most defragmenters are based on this API, including the free defragmenter that comes with Windows and many commercial defragmenters. Basically all MyDefrag does is send “move this file to that location” commands to the API. The API is part of the operating system and can safely move almost any file on the disk, without risk and while the computer is in full use.

  • Fixed a bug in the grammar of the MaxRunTime statement. It can now be used multiple times in a block, as intended.
  • Added a logfile footer with the finishing time and total running time.
  • Added ExcludeVolumes(CDRom(yes)) to the settings, to hide the cdroms in the the MyDefrag script chooser window.
  • If MyDefrag is started with some volumes names (“MyDefrag.exe -v C: -v D:”) then the script chooser now only displays those volumes.
  • Added support for volume device names, for example “\Device\HarddiskVolume1″.
  • Added the ImportListFromProgramHints fileboolean.
  • Added several options to WhenFinished, such as Hibernate, Standby, and WarnUsers.
  • Fixed a problem in the calculation of the ZoneSize and ZoneBegin numbers.
  • Changed the selection criteria of FastFill (more favor files high on the disk) to move less data and finish quicker.
  • Changed the installer so the association between MyD scripts and a new version of MyDefrag is not deleted any more when an old version is uninstalled.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause certain VolumeBooleans to crash.
  • Added the MoveToEndOfDisk fileaction.
  • Added the NumberBetween volumeboolean.
  • Added the FileSystemType volumeboolean.
  • Added the FileLocation fileboolean.
  • Added the Minimum() and Maximum() NUMBER operators.
  • Added the RememberUnmovables setting.
  • Added the Highlight.MyD example script.
  • Added the SetColor “text” setting.

defragglerUse Defraggler to defrag your entire hard drive, or individual files – unique in the industry. This compact and portable Windows application supports NTFS and FAT32 file systems.

Most defrag tools only allow you to defrag an entire drive. Defraggler lets you specify one or more files, folders, or the whole drive to defragment.

At a glance, you can see how fragmented your hard drive is. Defraggler’s drive map shows you blocks that are empty, not fragmented, or needing defragmentation.

Auslogics Disk Defrag Screen Saver is a handy tool that allows users to run defragmentation of their disks in Screen Saver mode. Like other screen savers in Windows, it starts automatically when a system has been idle for a few moments.

In fact, it is a great time to run a defragmenter, as its impact on system resources won’t disturb your work at all. Furthermore, due to its ability to run automatically, Auslogics Disk Defrag Screen Saver doesn’t require any user interaction.

Disk Defrag Screen Saver will perform defragmentation automatically while you are away from your computer. Once you resume your work, defragmentation stops immediately, allowing you to continue your work uninterrupted. Disk Defrag Screen Saver will wait until your next break to proceed with disk defragmentation.

While running, Auslogics Disk Defrag Screen Saver generates a well designed real-time fragmentation map. It allows tracking disk fragmentation level and overall defragmentation progress, as well as the name of currently defragmented file and its path.

Auslogics Disk DefragDisk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startups and shutdowns. Auslogics Disk Defrag is designed for fast optimization of modern hard disks.

Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. CPU and memory work much faster than hard disks because they do not have moving parts. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance.

Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads move frequently when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes. It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible.

Auslogics Disk Defrag is not just a defragmenter any more, but a fully featured disk optimizer. And with all the advanced techniques of disk optimization it has, Disk Defrag 3 remains extremely compact and even easier to use!

Version 3.1.2.90 Changes

  • Changed the script chooser so that now all disks are deselected by default.
  • Fixed a problem in the calculation of the beginning and end of a zone. The gap that PlaceNtfsSystemFiles() makes for the NTFS reserved area was sometimes counted twice, causing the next zone to start too far up.
  • Changed the syntax so that number multipliers (such as MB and Gi) can now be used with floating-point numbers, not only integer numbers.
  • Added the RoundDown() function for calculating numbers.
  • Added extra debugging code in an attempt to find the reason why the screensaver sometimes crashes.
  • Changed the default debug level to zero.
  • Fixed a bug in MakeGap() and AddGap() that sometimes caused the program to crash.
  • Fixed a bug in the calculation of the ZoneSize number.
