Softpedia Editor's Review for Portable Defraggler
|
A defragmentation tool that works on files, folders or the entire disk drive
Written by Elena Opris on January 20th, 2012
Portable Defraggler is a software which enables you to defragment your hard drive, thus freeing space.
Since it is a portable product, Defraggler doesn't require installation. You can simply place it on an external device and run it on any computer. More importantly, your Windows registry keys will not change.
The user interface of the application is familiar. You can select a volume to analyze or defrag (normally or quickly).
But you can also check the drive for errors, defrag free space and optionally allow fragmentation. Next to the volume names you can view their file system type, capacity, used space, free space, fragmentation and status.
Right below the visual representation of the defragmenting process you can check out analysis results which consist of total and current fragments, fragmented files and fragmentation.
In addition, you can view a list of the files, along with their fragments number, size and path, drive map, health, temperature and other S.M.A.R.T. information (e.g. read error rate, spin-up time, command timeout, buffer size, drive letters, transfer mode, power on hours). Also, you can filter search parameters.
Furthermore, you can schedule a defragmenting task, initiate boot time defrag, set priority and enable Defraggler to shut down the computer once it's done.
In the "Options" menu, you can select the interface language, temperature unit, disable Defraggler from automatically checking for updates, enable to move large files to the end of the drive during the entire task, set custom rules, create an exclusion list, and more.
You will be interested to know that the program uses a moderate amount of system resources and has an online help guide. In conclusion, Portable Defraggler is an excellent tool for performing defragmenting operations and we strongly recommend it to all users.

Portable Defraggler description
|
Here are some key features of "Portable Defraggler":
Defrag Individual Files:
· Most defragmentation tools only let you defrag the whole drive. Defraggler gives you the power to select individual files and folders to defrag. So you can get the job done in seconds, rather than waiting for the whole drive to complete. Of course if you want to defrag the whole drive Defraggler will let you do that too.
Compact and Portable:
· Defraggler was written in the same compact architecture as other Piriform products (CCleaner and Recuva). This results in a compact single EXE application, which can be copied to a thumbdrive and then used whenever you need it, without a complex installation process. The EXE itself is less than 1MB!
Vista Support:
· Defraggler supports all OSs released since Windows 2000, this includes Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. 64-bit support has also just been added! Additionally Defraggler supports both NTFS and FAT32 file systems.
Locate Files on the Drive:
· After analysis Defraggler lists all the fragmented files on the drive. Selecting one or many will highlight their location on the disk. Allowing you to visually see the location of files on the disk
