Smart Defrag is a tool that allows you to schedule and perform defragmentation operations on your hard disks. This can improve performance of drives, allowing files to be accessed more quickly.
The application has four main sections: State, Automatic Defrag, Boot Time Defrag and Report. The first is where you’ll see details of whatever scan is currently running. It’s also here that you can choose what kind of defrag you want to run – pick between Defrag Only, Defrag and Fast Optimize, or Defrag and Fully Optimize. You can also pause scans or tell Smart Defrag to shut down the computer when it has finished.
Turning on Automatic Defrag means Smart Defrag will reorganize your drives whenever the system is idle. It's a neat solution, as doing a full defrag can be a lengthy and resource-heavy process. There’s also a Boot Time Defrag, which allows you to defragment files that are dangerous to move while Windows is in use. You can set this to run every boot-up, or just once every few days.
Smart Defrag's schedule tab allows defrags to be set up regularly, and in Options there are some very useful settings. Smart Defrag can be set to defrag only when a computer is plugged in (not running on battery power), and also to pause if CPU usage reaches a predetermined percentage.
Smart Defrag is a well designed, effective and flexible application.

It would be nice if the update for it would download and update it instead of not doing any thing.

Excellent speed & features but UI very slow on older systems.
Excellent overall speed, and many useful options - quick/deep, optimize/no opt., etc. However, slower computers (e.g. XP) may find the UI frustrating - it can take MINUTES to respond to a tab selection, and the refresh of the disk layout display is very infrequent even when silent mode is turned off.

Very powerful,easy to use, great options and FREE..
Very good except that it's set to start by default with Windows. You just have to go to options and unclick and you're done. Still very powerful and FREE. More

Smart defrag.
I downloaded it and it defraged my computer and shut down when finished. I have re-booted twice and there is a white blank square on about 1/3 of the screen in the upper left corner. What do I do? More

Great product - one small issue.
Love this defragger. Well designed. The only small improvment I'd like is that the estimated "remaining time" is not very realistic at all. It'll say something like 1:50, but it doesn't count down even at half real time. I know that this is an estimate and depending on your drive clutter state, it will vary, but it seems to be so far off that it is not even usable.. More
