Auslogics Disk Defrag (3.1.8.50) – Freeware Review

Dear Readers,

Here is my full review on Auslogics Disk Defrag (3.1.8.50)….

AA. Cost: Free

BB. Is it worth that cost ?: Yes unless you have “raided hard-drives”

1. Ease of use – Super simple there are basically 3 options Analyze , Defrag and Defrag & Optimize

1a. Interface - This version has way more colour to it. Then that of the older versions of this program I have reviewed in the past. Also important to note is the super simple direct to the point options available. I would hazard a guess at saying this is idiot proof. But every time I say that I get an e-mail a day later saying it screwed up their system or caused a conflict.

2. Quality of scan – Extremely accurate and faster then pretty much any program free Disk Defrag program out there. Even faster then Smart Defrag.

2A. Speed of scan – Regular scan time for a 500 gig hard drive ranges from under 5mins to about 1hr 45mins.

2B. Ease of reading the final report: Harder then you might expect

3. Updating – If there is an update it does it pretty quickly

4. Can you run other programs during the scan ? Yes

4A. Can you run programs during update ? Yes

5. Is there a progress bar ? Yes

6. Can you leave it running and it will run with out issue ? Yes

7. Is there adware or spyware bundled with it ? nope, not that I saw

8. Is it stable ? Yes

I give Auslogics Disk Defrag an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 - Other then some issues with raided hard-drives and a hard to understand end of scan report read-out. The rest of this program is stellar and a most have for any computer savvy user. And that goes double for any Windows Vista users out there. That are miffed about the terrible disk defrag that comes with their computer.
