Auslogics Disk Defrag 12.1.0.1 – Hard Drive Defragmenter

Auslogics Disk Defrag 12 is a valuable maintenance program that enhances computer speed by organizing and defragmenting hard-drive data. Developed to address system slowdowns and crashes caused by disk fragmentation, it ensures faster access times and a more stable computing experience for users seeking the best disk defragmentation software for boosting Windows performance.

Auslogics Disk Defrag is exceptionally straightforward to use, requiring no extended analysis phase and operating more quickly than many comparable defragmentation tools. It enables users to maximize the performance of their hardware without unnecessary complexity.

The software optimizes system efficiency by positioning critical system files in the fastest areas of the disk, reducing access time. It also consolidates fragmented free space into a contiguous block, thereby preventing the fragmentation of newly created files and improving long-term disk organization.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 12 also minimizes the growth of the VSS storage area and reduces the likelihood of overwriting previous VSS snapshots. It can be configured to begin defragmentation automatically when the computer has been idle for 15 minutes, ensuring continuous optimization without interrupting regular usage.

Engineered for rapid optimization of modern hard drives, this tool saves time by defragmenting only necessary files rather than processing the entire disk. Auslogics Disk Defrag 12 has evolved into a comprehensive disk optimization solution—powerful, compact, and consistently easy to operate.

Auslogics Disk Defrag Features:

• Free space consolidation. Disk Defrag merges free space into a big contiguous block. This technology significantly reduces future file fragmentation and improves disk access speed.
• System files smart placement. System files commonly used by Windows can become scattered across the disk and intermixed with data files. Disk Defrag organizes these files by defragmenting and relocating them to the faster sections of the disk. This reduces the time required for the HDD to access system files, enhancing overall computer performance.
• Enhanced user interface. The redesigned user interface integrates with the Windows Explorer context menu and minimizes the system tray when closed. Utilize the new customization settings to optimize the defragmentation process.
• List of fragmented files. After analyzing your disk, Auslogics Disk Defrag lists all fragmented files. You can sort the list to identify the most fragmented files and their locations. Right-click on any file in the list to defragment it directly.

Normally, the NTFS file system reserves about 12.5% of the disk volume for MFT records (where the system stores information about every file and directory). However, when disk space runs low, the MFT Reserved Zone can be utilized for regular files, potentially leading to MFT fragmentation. Auslogics Disk Defrag addresses this by relocating these files from the MFT Reserved Zone to other available disk space, enabling NTFS to allocate contiguous space for MFT records and prevent fragmentation.

More Advanced Features:

• Auto-defrag mode. Disk Defrag’s auto-defragmentation feature runs in real time when your system is idle. It seamlessly defragments your hard drives in the background without disrupting your work.
• Single file or folder defragmentation. Sometimes, it makes sense to defragment one or more individual files instead of defragmenting an entire drive. Auslogics Disk Defrag can save you time by defragmenting only the files you’ve selected.
• Scheduled defragmentation. Running Auslogics Disk Defrag regularly keeps your disks defragmented. Use its various scheduling options to set the most convenient time for disk defragmentation.
• Multiple Languages. Available in English, German, Dutch, Japanese, and Russian.
